#70 If I Were a Girl

My nephew, Jordan spent a couple of hours at our house. He is seven. His toy of choice? The princess mirror that, when pressed, says "You're as pretty as a princess!" After pressing the button once more, and after laughing again, at the mirror's words he said:

"If I were a girl, I would think this is sooooo dumb."

I am to conclude, then, that because he is not a girl, and because he spent more than an hour pressing the button and laughing, that he finds the mirror "not dumb." Good thing he's a boy, or we'd have nothing for him to play with at our house. :)

#69 Noel

We've started Christmas early in our home. We are already listening to "Here Comes Santa Clause" and "Jingle Bells." Sometimes we even go around singing the songs ourselves. This is Brecken's version of "The First Noel:"

"Oh well. Oh well. Oh well. Oh well. Where is the King of Israel? Oh well. Oh well. Oh well. Oh well..."

I'm not sure how she interprets the lyrics she is singing. Not that singing "Noel" would clear things up for her.
