listening to the Beatles last week with Aunty Paula

All of us doing a puzzle. I wanted to play him "Honey Pie" since that's what I call him these days. (If I slip and call him what I used to: "Baby," he has a fit. "I'm not Baby; I'm Honey Pie!")

Sometime after Honey Pie, Yesterday comes on. Me and Aunty Pieceee sing along and do the puzzle. Love was such an easy game to play....

"Heeeeeey! Love isn't a game!"


Smart boy. Smart in your heart, darling. Let it always be...

on the phone with Dada last night

"Well, Dada, is there anything you want to talk about 'cause I got nothin'?"


Then after Dada asked what he did today:

"Well, Paula took me to get a haircut and then we went to lunch at this place where no one speaks English (Marissa's Bakery) and we bought a pastry for me and two for Mama and bought Mama a bunch of 'aguas' (guavas) that look like pear-heads."


Earlier in the month when I called over Dada's and talked to him and then wanted to talk to Dada again, he passed the phone to Dada and said, "here Dude, have a party!"

Seven. He'll be seven next month.
