Happy Friday! First of all, thank you so much<\/em> for all the lovely, thoughtful and thought-provoking comments you left on my post<\/a> 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).<\/p>\n

*****************************************************************************<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Here’s my favorite exchange with K this week:<\/p>\n

K: Mommy, I need to make hyperscopic goo.<\/p>\n

Me: What’s hyperscopic goo, sweetie?<\/p>\n

K: It’s this special thing that makes you invisible! Here’s what I need: water, flour, salt and magic.<\/p>\n

Me: Hmmm. I can handle the first three, but I might need some time for the last one.<\/p>\n

K: OK! Just let me know, I’ll be upstairs making the exploding tonic*.<\/span><\/p>\n

*The exploding tonic turned out to be blue marker dipped into water, making it a pretty aqua color. Phew.<\/p>\n

**********************************************************************************<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Have a terrific weekend, friends! And here’s the weekly haiku:<\/p>\n

Daily lunch box notes<\/em>
\nI’m running out of good jokes<\/em>
\nDo you know any?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
