Ezri speaks

Last Thursday, Ezri made breakfast for me (buttered bread) and read stories to me. It was like turn around day. That girl takes good care of me.

Some quotations from the kid.

“It took 26 seconds and I stood on one foot for the whole process.” She was talking about buttering her morning toast.

At open gym they have a bunch of balls, the older kids there (aged 5 – 6) had divided into boys versus girls and were competing to have the most balls involving elaborate thieving from each others’ ball stashes. They were hoarding and a supervising mom told the big kids, it’s okay to have the balls and play with them like you are but if any of the littler kids ask for a ball you need share and let them have a ball. The bigger kids agreed they would do this.
Ezri’s solution was to find her brother and say, “Ivan, go over there and ask those big boys for a ball and then bring it to me.”

e: Do you want to meet the scraggles?
A: Sure, who are the scraggles?
e (brandishing some sock creatures): We are the scraggles.
e (speaking as a scraggle): Are you a good guy or a bad guy?
A: A good guy.
e (in cutesie scraggle voice): Okay, then we won’t eat you!
And that’s how you avoid getting eaten by cute sock critters.
Later the scraggles were heard to be making something called “stormtrooper soup.”
Powerful evil don’t mess with the scraggles, they may be wee but they will eat you.

Ezri had two suggestions for how the Chicago Fire could win a game.
Her first was that they find a very easy team to play.
Her second was that they split their team into two and play against each other.

Reading a sign at subway Ezri announced, “Subway CAT EARS!” Sadly, Subway caters is what it read.
Similarly I enjoyed “Off ice” read on the side of an insurance office.
