Moonshots and Ideas
Dree uttered a phrase this afternoon neither of us thought we’d say, “Calum, you have to change out of your pajamas before you go to the moon.”
He’d been playing downstairs and came up stairs with a box he’d constructed from this large, interlocking city map tiles. He was declaiming, boldly, that he was ready to go to the moon. We, of course, were just thinking it was well past lunch and as much as it was a lazy Sunday afternoon, it was time for him to get dressed for the day. He knew what we meant, but we had a short, giggly moment as we thought literally about what she’d said.
Shortly after that, Liam interrupted our conversation about some radio programming to which Dree had been listenig earlier. After a meek, “Excuse me,” Liam then claimed to have an idea, with the intent to share it, apparently. However, when Dree prompted him to explain, he paused and just said, “Hang on, I’m thinking my idea.”
Cute in the same vein as Dana Carvey’s immortal joke about God’s feet.
