Daisy in control

Daisy: Do you know why I'd like to have the remote control at the movie theater?
Dad: Why?
Daisy: So I could skip over the boring parts.
Dad: Well, the other people in the theater might not think those parts are boring, so they might get mad at you for skipping over them.
Daisy: Hey, they gave me the remote.

2011: The Year in Pictures

Daisy the clairvoyant

The kids have just noticed the Tarot card/palm reading joint in our neighborhood, and, having asked Dad what that's all about, are discussing various soothsaying matters.

Daisy: I can read palms.
Buster: No you can't
Daisy: Yes I can.
Dad: Who taught you how to read palms?
Daisy: Maya [best friend].
Buster: Daisy, there's no such thing as people who can see into the future.
Daisy: Yes there is. I can.
Buster: OK, what am I going to say next?
Daisy: Something mean.

Whattaya know. The kid can see into the future.

Almost Halloween

Most of Daisy's costume, headed to a party. The pointy orange, white and yellow hat makes it much more obvious that she's a candy corn witch.

Buster plays it cool at his friend Justin's birthday party, held at a warehouse.

Outfit

So. Not much posting for the last year. Going to try to get back to it, alternating old and new pix, rather than a futile attempt to catch up. We'll start with old. This one's almost a year old, and I'm struck by how Daisy doesn't stand in this little kid way anymore.

Where it came from

Buster: If I was taller I could lift this [garage door] all the way.
Dad: And if you had wheels you'd be a trolleycar.
Buster: What?
Dad: Grandma and Grandpa used to say that. When someone said something like that, "If this, then that," they'd say "And if you're grandmother had wheels she'd be a trolley car." I don't know where it came from, but that's what they'd say.
Daisy: It came from the '80s.
