We were downtown enjoying the beautiful day, and the kids were asking to go to the Natural History Museum.  Unfortunately, it is closed on Mondays.

A:  Sorry, we can’t go to the museum.  It’s closed.

T:  Oh, darn it!  I forgot keys!

Miles told us some jokes at dinner.

M:  Why did the chicken cross the road?

A:  Why?

M:  It didn’t.

—

M:  Why did the baby chicken cross the road?

A:  Why?

M:  It wanted to practice its walking skills.  It was actually a bridge, so it wasn’t as dangerous.

—

M:  How did the finger cross the road?

A:  How?

M:  The rest of it was invisible and all you could see was the finger.

—

Tobin told one too.

T:  Knock knock who’s there?

A:  Who’s there?

T:  How do you put a drum in a circle?

A:  How?

T:  Put a strawberry in a circle!

I will miss Jamal for a thousand years.  I’ll reflect on all this later, but right now I’m just tired and sad.  Jamal was tired and sad and in pain for a long, long time.

I wish you peace, my old friend.

We were in the car coming home from school.

M:  Are people interested in butter?

A:  Butter?

M:  Yeah.

A:  Well…some people like it more than others, but I guess so, yes.

M:  No, are they interested in it?

A:  What do you mean?

M:  Like interested in if it freezes.

A: …

I still have no idea what he was getting at.

Tobin was watching a video about sheep getting sheared.

T:  Sheep nude!

T:  Look, my hair looks cool!

He had scribbled all over his head with a red dry-erase marker.

Miles and I were reading a story in which a king was wishing for grandchildren, which sparked a conversation about him having kids some day.

M:  But how do you choose when to have kids?

A:  Well, that’s something the parents decide together.

M:  I choose…the beach.

A:  The beach?

M:    Maybe that’s a bad idea.  People would think we’re crazy.

Tobin and I were in the living room while Miles finished up his lunch.

M:  Oops.

A:  What’s up?  Do you need help?

M:  My lemonade got in the syrup, so it’s pretty confusing.

Miles was goofing around with Photo Booth on his computer and he made this short film.  I added the subtitles because the audio isn’t the greatest.
