Kids Talk

Laura: Stephen Hawking, isn’t he that skateboarding dude? Martin: no, that’s Tony Hawk. Slightly different. 

Laura: Why would you have breakfast for dinner? I don’t even like breakfast for breakfast!

Laura (singing along to a song on the radio): I really really really really like you. Laura: I’m talking to my imaginary Nutella.

Laura: I don’t like breakfast. Don’t you understand why I get up at 11:30am if I can? Martin: To avoid breakfast altogether? Laura: Exactly.

Not the kids, but this one needed to be preserved for posterity. Deb: I always get a surprise when I get an email from myself, even if I just sent it!

Deb takes Laura to work during school holidays because she has a faculty meeting. Later… Laura: Mum, I never ever want to do what you do for work.

After Laura was having trouble coping with her Dad staring at her: Laura: Mum, you’re my mother but you don’t do a very good job of protecting me against the forces of evil! (pointing at Dad).

Laura: What does your coffee taste like? Me: Why don’t you taste it and see for yourself? Laura: Mum! That’s illegal!

We held a major event at the Electron Workshop on December 1st, and I sold refreshments with the help of the kids. Nick made an incredibly awesome movie: http://vimeo.com/54759160, so I showed the kids. Daniel: that’s sooooo awesome!!!! Laura: why aren’t I in it? Me: … Me: You are in it! We just saw you! Laura:…

I AM a donkey. – Daniel.
