Me: I’m going to watch Jeopardy.

Andy: Ugh. That wasteland you call entertainment? I’d rather be held over a cauldron of boiling lava.

I opened a new jar of jelly for Andy this morning.

“Look, it has a flat top. I love it when it’s flat-topped. Like a skating rink of joy.”

Last night Andy and I were having a disagreement that got a little heated on his side. (Tears were involved.) When he could take no more, he stormed out of the room, announcing: “I am going to my bedroom. Good day to you!”

Me [eyes closed]: One, two, three, four…

[Sound of closet door opening.]

Andy: Oh, I’m going to turn on the closet lights, just in case I hide in one of them. But I won’t actually be hiding in the closet.

Me: Okay.

[Sound of closet door closing.]

Me: …nineteen, twenty. Ready or not, here I come.

[I walk near the closet, which has small toes sticking out from under the door.]

Mysterious voice: Wooooo. I am a ghoooost.

Me: Oh my gosh. You didn’t eat Andy did you?

Mysterious voice: Nooooo.

Me: Have you seen him?

Mysterious voice: Noooo. Don’t open the dooor. I may not be viewed.

Me: Okay. [Opening the other closet door:] Andy?

[Mysterious voice laughing.]

Me: Why are you laughing, Mr. Ghost?

Mysterious voice: Noooo reason. It’s just part of my schedule.

Andy: Sarah, never become an astronaut.

Me: Okay.

Andy: Because if you were an astronaut you might get sucked into a black hole.

Me: Don’t worry, I won’t become an astronaut.

Andy: But if you did get sucked into a black hole, I would come pull you out.

Andy had a spelling test today, 2/5/2010, and with a lot of practice, Andy got 5 right. This is the first time he actually studied and applied himself to do good. We are very proud of him
