Two quick anecdotes

1. Toe asked J. the other day what he meant when he said, "Punch it, Chewie!" J. explained that it was from Star Wars and the guy (Han Solo) said it when he wanted his co-pilot (Chewbacca) to go fast. They then went out on a few errands. After one, J. got involved in a conversation on his cell phone and they sat in the unmoving car for several minutes (no cell phone talking while driving). When J. got off the phone and started up the car, Toe said, "Chew it, Pokey!"

2. Apparently Toe is now a Billy Goat. Every time I refer to him as a boy, he corrects me. "You mean, Billy Goat." To make matters stranger, his father is a "Daddy Billy Goat," but somehow I am a "Mama seal." This has been going on for weeks, now with no changes. Occasionally he pretends to be a kitty-cat. A Billy Goat pretending to be a kitty, not a boy pretending to be a kitty. I find myself saying, "Come on, little Billy Goat," in the grocery store.

  1. I love your anecdotes! I hope we can come see you all in person sometime soon... (And I'm totally going to start saying "Chew it, Pokey!")
