Ezri Speaks

Some conversations with Ezri over the last couple months.

Playing with sidewalk chalk, “I wrote Woo-hoo on that rock. You have to say ‘Woo-hoo’ when you step on it. Please, step on it now.”

“We are playing Ezri-quest. We must go to go talk to the whispering rock and learn its secrets.” Ezri is devising her own MagiQuest style games in our backyard.

e: I am the smartest girl in Kindergarten and Charlie is the smartest boy.
A: How do you know you are the smartest?
e: Well maybe not all the time the smartest. . . but most of the time.

Ezri has a theory about the power of friendship. It will solve the mystery of who stole the GPS from our car two years ago. It will get her a ride in a car on a car carrier. She told me once she has made friends with everyone in the world, “I will just ask my friends who took the GPS and they will tell me.” Mystery solved. She saw a car carrier and really wanted to ride in one of the cars on the back of the truck. I told her that was not safe and probably not legal. She told me, “When I am friends with everyone in the world, one of my friends will drive a car carrier and my friend will let me ride in one of the cars on the back.” It’s all about who you know. Ezri plans to know EVERYONE.

Her brother does not plan to know everyone. This exchange shows the difference in my two kids pretty well on the introvert/extrovert spectrum.
e: You can never have too many friends.
i: Yes, you can.

e: Can I have my own facebook page? I want to like the cute puppy myself.
She has learned what social media’s use is. She cannot have her own facebook account.

Interviewing her little brother with a notebook and pencil to write his answers.
e: Are we in America?
i: Yeah.
e: Is America cool?
i: Yeah. A little bit cool.
