  • Aha Moment

    Aha Moment

    She ran into the room, didn’t search at all, and exclaimed “aha” as if she’d discovered him. It was perfectly convincing and very efficient, as her brother popped right out of his very good hiding spot. Real outside-the-box thinking.

  • Semantic Sticks

    Semantic Sticks

    This was said with complete sincerity. Apparently “drumstick” doesn’t classify as a “stick” despite the seemingly obvious name clues.

  • Probably Too Young

    Probably Too Young

    Junkos made a nest in our (overgrown) lawn right on the ground. Unfortunately, of 3 eggs, none have survived to adulthood, so maybe it wasn’t a great location, and now we’ve had to talk about mortality rates.

  • Won’t Stop Groovin’

    Won’t Stop Groovin’

    Looking it up, Shake It Off was released over 10 years ago in 2014, and the song I played for her was released in 2004. It’s not as though I was playing music from the 1970s.

  • Troll Fluff

    Troll Fluff

    Basically verbatim kid logic, here.

  • Throw To First

    Throw To First

    Due to the still inconsistent throwing and catching abilities, running the ball to the base is actually a pretty good strategy in some of these young-kid games.

  • Batter Up

    Batter Up

    Flying bats are just one of the reasons to be paying attention to the game.
