Happy Friday! First of all, thank you so much for all the lovely, thoughtful and thought-provoking comments you left on my post about comparison and its thievish-ness. I loved them all and felt like the topic was a seed for future riveting conversations (hence the illustration – I used watercolor and it’s from a while ago).

There have been a million hilarious conversations between my mom and K in just the last twenty-four hours, but since my mom talks to K in Japanese and she responds back in English, somehow it’s tricky to re-create the hilarity in writing. But there’s been a ton of laughing and giggling, and it’s doing us all a world of good.
Here’s my favorite exchange with K this week:
K: Mommy, I need to make hyperscopic goo.
Me: What’s hyperscopic goo, sweetie?
K: It’s this special thing that makes you invisible! Here’s what I need: water, flour, salt and magic.
Me: Hmmm. I can handle the first three, but I might need some time for the last one.
K: OK! Just let me know, I’ll be upstairs making the exploding tonic*.
*The exploding tonic turned out to be blue marker dipped into water, making it a pretty aqua color. Phew.

Have a terrific weekend, friends! And here’s the weekly haiku:
Daily lunch box notes
I’m running out of good jokes
Do you know any?
I love the idea of lunch box notes! (And that Rifle paper pad!)
K might like this one, it’s a favorite around here:
Q: How do you catch a unique rabbit?
A: You ‘neak up on it.
Have a happy weekend!! The watercolor is beautiful
Due to a ban on playstation and wii, my son spent today writing (compiling?) a book of jokes. So, courtesy of the ‘Funniest K + S Joke Collection’, printed just a few hours ago, here is a joke for you:
What do you say to a two-headed monster?
Hello, hello!
Perhaps you should try writing K’s next joke as a haiku!
K would do well in the world of Harry Potter:) Glad the visit is off to fantastic start!
Q:What kind of animal should you never play cards with?
A:A cheetah!
Oh I have more where that came from if you run out again. Remember I teach 4-10 year olds all day long
Thanks for the jokes ladies! Good ones
