His response?

He stops mid bite, eyes me very seriously and says,

“Don’t worry. I got this under control, Mom.”

******************

After Cade was finished dancing with Michael Jackson on the wii:

“Mom, I wish Michael Jackson was still alive… I’d like to call him… wait! Do you have his phone number? No… how about his parents? Do you have THEIR phone number? Does he HAVE parents? I’d like to talk to them about their son…”

Mom: Sure they do!

Elliot: Then why are they so mean?

———-

Elliot: Mom, are we losing gravity?

Mom: Why would you be wondering that?

Elliot: Because when I come down from a jump, I seem to be coming down slower than usual.

———-

(conversation upon mom almost closing the fridge door on Cade)

Cade: MOM! You almost KILLED me!

Mom: No, I didn’t almost kill you!

Cade: Yes you DID! You almost KILLED ME! You almost totally…CRUSHED…ME!

Mom: I’m sorry. Won’t happen again.

———-

Cade: Can I have breakfast, mom?

Mom: Sure. Bagel and cream cheese?

Cade: Yes.

Mom: Want some coffee with that?

Cade: (without looking away from the tv) noooo….I don’t like coffee anymore.

We can only surmise that the dog carried the poor little dude in recently. His shell is slightly damaged (from being carried in the dog’s mouth perhaps), but otherwise alright. We’re watching over the little fella until we can let him go somewhere safer for him in the next few days.

After laying down the rules, I set him free having no idea what it was exactly he planned on doing with it. Yesterday was Easter Sunday, so I needed to clear a little hard drive space on the camera for recording some family festivities. During the data dump, here’s a little of what I found from Elliot’s time spent with the flip cam:



I think we may be spending a little too much time with Mario and Luigi!
