Clearner Bucket List

Ok, these ones are safe enough, but don't read the other bucket list if you're at the dinner table. I warned you. This list is ok though.

Theodore used to think that E & Z would get on the school bus and roam around on the bus all day long and then we'd pick them up from the bus at 3:30. He hated going to school. He would cry, scream, not want me to leave him. This happened all last year from Sept 2014 until Dec 2014. Somehow, when Theodore was off school and E & Z were at school, Michael took Theodore to the bus stop, and they were probably early. Theodore said "E & Z are on the bus..." and I think Michael corrected him, explaining that they were at school and they were just about to get onto the bus. This along with other discussions finally led him to understand that they were not in fact on the bus all day. This was just wonderful, because he stopped being so jealous, and he was very happy to go back to his own school in January.

About the time we moved to DC, Michael explained the Capitol to Edwin. "That's where they make the rules..." he said. Edwin thought about this, looked at the massive size of the building, and said, "They couldn't stop making rules..."

Within the past several months, this one.... 
Z to E: in tears... "I hate you!!!"
E, calmly: You are my brother. You will always love me.

In the past 2 weeks:
T: "I'm a mosquito!". He flies around, trying to bite Z. Z of course doesn't let him bite, even play-biting. T bursts into tears, "I AM A MOSQUITO!!!"
