[quote:29696c2d50="bkeat23"]Talk to 2 1/2 on the phone, and is her habit of speaking in the third person like an overpaid athlete : "Gracie not happy, PaBob(what they call me) come over, Grace happy then."[/quote:29696c2d50]
Ha!! My son sometimes does third person, but not too much.
I love the attempts at verb usage.
Example:
Ethan: I just spinned the football with my foot Daddy.
Me (an editor): You spun the football, Ethan.
Ethan: No. I spinned it Daddy.
What do I say next? "No, buddy. The past tense of spin is spun"? Like he knows what "past tense" means...
But he is figuring out "am" and "are." He's no longer saying "I are getting bigger" in response to my "You are getting bigger." He knows to change the "are" to "am."
Anyway... will I bid on anything here today? Hmm...

Speaking of kids I was at the hospital the other night because I broke my nose playing in my Touch Football League and my daughter picks up a National Geographic magazine. I notice she is looking at and reading an article on Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. Next she asks me for a pen and begins to draw DNA strands in the book. Totally flabbergasted I asked her how in God's Green Earth did she know about DNA to which she replied Daddy your silly, Pokemon of course.
I didn't even ask how she connected Darwin to DNA I might get an answer I just wouldn't understand.

You live in NH! I am going there in March with my girlfriend and daughter skiing. I will have to find out the name of the place that we are going too, to see if it is anywhere near where you are. We may be able to grab a coffee! And, of course, plan the demise of our respective division mates! Well, perhaps not. Coffee might be fun though!

Hmmm, I seem to have butchered the whole cut apart the quote thing...

BobBoone,
It all depends on which mountain you guys are going to and how you're getting there. I live very close to a common travel route (Route 16) to mountains such as Wildcat, Bretton Woods, Attitash, Black Mt., Cranmore, and King Pine.
But, if you're heading to Cannon or Loon, not so much.

We are going to North Conway. We will be entering the U.S.A. through Maine. That is about all I know at the moment.

That does seem pretty amazing Mike. And I guess I should expect my boy to call me silly for a while longer. I've been calling him "my silly monkey" for months and months, to which he now often says "No daddy, you're silly." Of course, I am a little silly; my wife would attest to that. But, still, I guess I should expect my son to call me silly for years and years... :D

There is nothing more amazing than kids Bill. It's the only subject I can speak more on than sports.
Just Curious how old are we all??? Some might not want to say but I find it interesting what generation we are from.
Oddly I turned 44 today- Happy Birthday to me!
