The Truth

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

… seen through the eyes of a little boy

We have this saying where I come from:

You shall hear the truth from kids and drunks

I have this younger brother. Anyone who knows any kids know that they say a lot of weird stuff. So here is a small compilation of some of my middle brother’s utterances.

Age One: Ump
His first word. It’s supposed to be “Lamp”, which happens to be his first love…

Age Two: Auntie Line
This is what he said one day we came home, and he looked longingly at the kids in the yard next door who where jumping up and down in a big TrampoLine…

sukkererterAge Three: We Won’t Die
That is what he thinks will happen (or won’t happen) when he and Mummy has planted the sugar pea seeds she brought home… (Still haven’t found out what brought him to that conclusion…)

Age Four: Were you flustered?
What he asked me when he came running around the corner of the house thinking he had scared me half to death coming so fast… (Do four-year-olds say flustered?)

Age Five: He’s nuts
Talking about our even younger brother (three at the time), who can be quite wild at times…

Age Six: She’s pretty wimpy… and I’m pretty nice
Talking about my Oh-So-Easy-To-Scare Cat…

Age Six: I can’t walk home, because my legs break when I walk
When he came to visit me after school (I live right next to his school), but didn’t want to walk home…

Age Seven: You just wait, I’ll get back at her. I’ll invite her too!
His comment after a girl in his class made fun when he invited another girl in his class to his upcoming birthday party. (Both of them came, by the way)

Age Eight: I have made a gorgeous family
Proudly telling me he had The Sims 2 on Playstation…

Several years ago:
And here is the little dude himself, proudly wearing our grand father’s ancient glasses. This picture is from some time between “Ump” and “Auntie Line” I think. Wasn’t he adorable?

Twigs

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

There seems to be no limits as to how much stuff that can fit in my previously mentioned Oh-So-Easy-To-Scare cats coat. She is part Norwegian Forest Cat, which means that her coats is quite long. The twigs and other plant objects in the picture were found between her hind legs after one trip outside.
