Three kinds
While reading “The Book of Nonsense” by Edward Lear, Arielle explained to Gus that “ass” is another word for donkey. To which Gus replied, “Mom, did you know there’s three kinds of ass? Badass, asphalt, and donkey ass.”
Debate commentary
Straight from the mouth of a four-year-old:
Where does he learn this stuff?
To my boy
Happy 4th birthday Gus, squeezer of cats, city rambler and litter-picking buddy, and living room wrestler extraordinaire. Your future is why I get so worked up about all of this other stuff.
Wise beyond his years
(While picking up litter at the neighborhood playground)
Me: Sigh. Why do people litter?
Gus: I don’t know. ‘Cause they’re idiots?
Gus, 22 months.
We’ve been remiss in taking monthly “birthday” pictures of Gus as he’s gotten older, so I’m glad that Arielle took the time to get this one.
