Maggie drew this picture and asked me to caption it “Be nice to your mummy.”

Kids sorting candy. Or “shorting” as tommy says. This is the first year they have done this and I love it so much.
Temperature Sensitivity
Quote
Tommy: do fish get cold?
[uhhh…no?]
T: Because they have scale not skin?
All That Glitters
Quote
Tommy: I thought the Golden Gate Bridge would be gold but it’s red. I was like ‘oh.’
[There is a gold bridge in Sacramento.]
Maggie: is it MADE out of gold?
[no. It’s just painted gold.]
Maggie: oh. That’s not exciting.
Contest
Quote
Not surprisingly, the kids did not win any prizes at our city costume contest.
Tommy: I’m really let down.
I think people thought I was a super hero. I really wanted a trophy.
Maggie: I know you think we are winners but that doesn’t make us feel any better.
Tommy counted 11 Elsas and I counted about 5-6 Annas.
Not “if”. When.
Quote
Maggie: What happens when me and Tommy’s parents die and we’re still kids?
How can a birthday cake win?
Grammar
Aside
I believe Tommy thinks the past tense of “watch” is “watchen”.
social networking
Quote
Tommy: I STILL don’t have a youtube channel. What should I call it? How about The Lost Diamond? Can you make that? I’m ready to post my first video. But how will people find me? Oh, I know. Post it on Facebook. That’s the magic key.
Surprising no one but a seven-year-old, TheLostDiamond was not available as a user name. Nor were PartyGuy, PartyDude, SparklySpider, HaloReach, and BullsEye. However, SevenYearOldLuchador, BlackMixingBoard, StringyStringySpiderweb and ForgottenLegos WERE all available.

Maggie: tommy! I dreamed my arm was rotted!
Teenagers and Santa
Quote
Tommy: for some reason, when you’re a teenager, you text a lot.
I’m not going to write a letter to Santa. He’s not even real. If he was real, why don’t people go up there and check it out. There’s probably just raw fish there.
