Learning

by the girls

Anecdotes from the year

Topic Reality

Morgan “The tooth fairly isn't real. Right?”

Dad “I don't know, you get money each time you lose a tooth, don't you?”

Sydney “You have all my teeth, don't you?"

Sydney “I know Santa is not real either. Do you believe in Santa, Dada?"

Dad “I think everyone goes through a phase when they don't believe and then later on they believe again. Do you remember the book we read each christmas where only the kids can hear the sleigh bell from Santa Claus?”

Morgan “Yea!” (runs in the other room) "Here, read it to us again!"

Dad Reads The Polar Express

Morgan “Still, Santa isn't real. Is he?"

What are we raising?

Girls who like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 30 year old Balsamic vinegar, smoked salmon, fresh baked sourdough bread. What are we creating?

Guest "Would you girls like to watch some TV?"

Girls "No thanks, can you read us a story instead?"

The girls even had a fling in the society pages of the September 1st, Oregonian. What is the world coming to?
