The boys have a toy cell phone (kids these days!) from Japan that they'll pull out once a month or so. They were playing with it this morning when I overheard the following:
(Phone ringing)
Peter picks up.
P: Yes? Oh, yes. You can come. That's good.
Peter mentally hangs up.
(Phone ringing, because, of course, Peter pushed the ring button)
Peter (with exasperation): Oh! Who is it now?
Must remember: they are watching us, even when they aren't.
Related ethical question: the phone has four buttons instead of the usual nine. The buttons feature a dog and a cat on the top row and a duck and a cow on the bottom. The duck and cow buttons don't make any noise right now. When both boys expressed concern about this, demanding that I fix them, I told them the lines to the farm were probably down. Was that wrong?

No, you are right. Your sons are so cute
Why don't you post more entries? I am a mother too, but I'm not in America. I live in Asia. I always worried about how to teach my little daughter. she is only 7 months old now. Accidentally, I read your blog. I can pick up some experience to become a friend of my daughter from this blog. Thank you. Hope to read your new entry soon.
All the best!
