SPL's Blog

Need to clear my desk of some post-its that have been accumulating (I write SPL stories and quotes on them if I'm lucky :-).  So here are a few recent ones:

Animals SPL wants to adopt:
1) Anteater: when you ask SPL why, he says "to eat all the ants!"  (which gets the award for practical as we've been struggling with ants due to the heat)
2) Penguin: not as practical but wins on the cuteness axis.  When asked why, SPL replies "because we eat fish for dinner!"

SPL: Mom, let me tell you something (these are his exact words.  I love this phrasing).  We have to take 2 books (to breakfast with us — we'll be walking so I am trying to minimize the load).  If you finish this one, (then there will be) no more book.

SPL (adding on to his argument): 2 is a lucky number!

SPL:  I want a fruit strip AND a yoghurt shake (for nighttime treat).

KEH:  One or the other — which one do you want?

SPL:  I want the other — what is the other?

SPL's been learning Mandarin Chinese from his babysitter and it's turned him into a Mandarin teacher. He will say: "Mommy/Daddy, say "lan suh (blue in Mandarin)."

SPL: Lan….

KEH: Lan

SPL: suh

KEH: suh.

SPL: Lan suh.  Right.  In English, it's blue.

JOL (noting that SPL and I had many stickers on our shirts): Why do you both have stickers?
SPL: That's just how it is sometimes.
