Ezri Speaks

e: I am a very good helper.
A: Are you dusting?
e: No. I am undusting with my unduster. Sometimes when I’m not undusting I ride it for being a witch.

I teach Ivan lots of things, even some bad things like not listening.

Here’s Ivan requesting his sister read him a book and Ezri explaining that she’s too busy just now.
(Ivan chasing Ezri down the hallway carrying his book Go, Maisy, Go)
i : Evvie, read Maisy! Evvie, read Maisy!
e: I am very busy working taping these ponies mouths. They will go crazy if I don’t.

We were talking about the beginning of preschool. I said I did not know who Ezri’s teacher would be this year and this is what she said.
“I hope I have my regular teacher. Mrs. Paul is the greatest teacher ever. Other kids might think their teacher is the greatest, but the real greatest teacher is Mrs. Paul.” Today the letter came that Ezri is placed in Mrs. Paul’s class this fall. Her face lit up with joy and she said, “I am so excited for that.”

A: Is it shrubbery?
e: No.
A: I give up what is it?
e: A conifer.
A: I never would’ve guessed that.

A: Is it a car?

A: Is it a street sign.
