Dahlia and her stories

Dahlia has been getting very creative with her stories lately. She very much is beginning to embellish. For instance I was laying with her tonight before bed – the story went something like this:

Dahlia: “Daddy you know how after school we went to the adenoid and tonsil doctors? The ones where we had them taken out? Well I was looking in the garbage can there and I saw where they put all the guts and everything and I looked in there and I saw the brains! For real!”

Me: (chuckling)

Dahlia: “Dad! What are you laughing at?”

Me:”Nothing – your story – it’s funny”

Dahlia:”DAD! IT’S REAL!!!! I MEAN IT!”

There have been several in the past couple of weeks like this. I will try to record them here from now on.

Monti Earhart

Monti had to do a book report on Amelia Earhart today. She had to present it in first person mode (“Hi I’m Amelia Earhart and I was born July 24th, 1897…..”). She was totally prepared.

Fun With PhotoBooth

What I find most funny is Dahlia laughing as we make these. Seriously, nothing better than that.

What do you know about the bald side? What do you know about the bald side.

Song #2 was

He was the first one to finish. The first one in the town!

Precognition

I just read this great article in Wired Magazine from May 2009. Excerpt:

 

Daryl BemProfessorEmeritus of PsychologyCornell UniversityObject of Study: Precognition 

It’s deja vu in advance: In conventional psychological tests, subjects recall words they’ve had a chance to study better than words they’ve seen only briefly. Bem reversed the usual order of events and found that his subjects were significantly more likely to recall words they would study later than words they wouldn’t study at all. Extroverts show the most precognition.
