Merry F-ing Christmas!
By 8:30am ... I had already threatened to:
- not let Ole open any more presents.
- take away all his presents and return them.
- take away the contents of his stocking.
JOY TO THE WORLD...

Adventures with Becky ...
So Ole spent the day with Becky and Laura.
I don't know what they did all day ... but I do know this:
Becky took him to a distillery where hundreds of people were in line to buy absinthe ... which of course is why they went there.
At some point in the afternoon ... I got this text from Becky:
We're just doing errands n hanging n shit
And then ... later in the day ... I got this text from Laura:
Let it be known it was my MOTHER who convinced your son his penis will fall off when hes seven

Brothers...
Even though they're both home sick today ... Luke is thrilled to just watch Ole play his videogame - as long as he can be near him.

Ummm ... okay.
Ole: "Mama ... did you know that I just tasted my ear wax ... and you know what?!"
Me: "What?"
Ole: "It's really sour..."

When he's a rebellious teenager ... he'll listen to Barry Manilow

On the car ride to camp this morning ...
Ole: "Mama ... put on Black Sabbath.'
Me: "Ok."
Me: "Ok."
Ole: "I wanna hear War Pigs."
Me: "Ok ... is this it?"
Ole: "No. That's The Wizard."
Me: "Is this it?"
Ole: "Yeah ... that's War Pigs."

This kid is gonna be trouble...
He was pretty grumpy when he woke up yesterday morning ... and here's why: he told me he had a dream that he saw the most beautiful girl. He said she was really pretty. She kissed him. He liked it.
He was grumpy though ... because he said he wanted to see her again. Needed to see her again.
Who knew he was so passionate???

I didn't ask him to elaborate...
My mom and I were talking about how I've lost some weight ... and Ole says,
"Since you're not so fat ... you should give your fat clothes to your fat friends."
"Since you're not so fat ... you should give your fat clothes to your fat friends."

More Ole Wisdom
Ole: "I wish I was a crow."
Me: "Why?"
Ole: "Because I could fly and eat dead squirrels in the street."
Me (trying to stifle laughter): "I see"
Ole: "Also because I could land on electrical wires and not get any electric on me."

Ole said all of this before 9am today...
"I am the king of drawing butts."
"Look, mama I drew a penis. No wait ... actually I drew a whistle! I can draw whistles!"
"I'm never gonna get married because I'm not that girly."
"I love Luke more than space."
"I want to go to the beach ... and look at the ocean as far as the eye can see."

It seemed normal at the time...
In the car ... driving out of the parking garage at work ... on our way to an event ...
Diana: "Remind me to put my shirt on when we get there."
Me: "Okay."
Diana: "Remind me to put my shirt on when we get there."
Me: "Okay."

Because he's so advanced...
Words Luke says:
Mama
Papa
ball
hi
banana
flower
He has started walking ... and by walking I mean he takes a few steps at least once a day.
He pushes toy cars around and makes car sounds.
He flies toy airplanes and makes plane sounds too.
Everytime an airplane or helicopter flies overhead ... he points and says something which I'm sure means airplane in his brain.
He also loves his brother SO much ... even when he's asleep on the couch:

How do these two questions get confused?
Becky: "What time is it"
Me: "6:13"
Becky: "No. I mean ... what's your zip code?"
Me: "6:13"
Becky: "No. I mean ... what's your zip code?"

Master storyteller...
Ole has figured out that he can lie.
I don't think he even knew it was a possibility before. Then ... suddenly it occurred to him that he has the ability to NOT tell the truth.
When I picked him up from chess class today, a little girl came up to me and said Ole told her there had been a fire at his house. She wondered if it was true. I told her no ... he was telling stories. Then she went on to rattle off a list of things he's told her. I'm not even sure I can remember all the lies he told her, but I'll try.
That rug burn on his forehead ... he told her he was injured in the fire.
His cat died.
We live in San Francisco and he takes BART to school.
His mom is in the hospital (that's me!).
Jeez ... that's not even the half of it, but I can't remember any more right now.
What have I done wrong???

Six going on sixteen
So I'm in the other room ... getting Luke ready for bed. Ole and Rune are arguing in the kitchen.
Rune is telling Ole it's time to get his pajamas on ... to which Ole says: "Blah." Rune repeats his request about the PJs ... to which Ole says: "Blah."
hahahhahahahaaaa

Because he's a boy...
Me: "Ole, what happened to your head?"
Ole: "What are you talking about?"
Me: "Did you fall or bump your head or something? There's a big mark on your forehead."
Ole: "Oh ... I was on the rug in my class and then I started rubbing my head in a circle on the floor."

fairy failure
We are horrible, horrible parents.
Ole lost a tooth yesterday and dutifully put it under his pillow last night.
The tooth fairy DID NOT COME. shit shit shit.
FUCK! We totally forgot. I'm not sure if there's anything worse than this.
Rune told him the tooth fairy must be running late. I debated just telling him the truth, but he is a total believer, so I told him the tooth fairy is probably bringing him something extra special and needed more time. That way I can buy a guilt-toy today ... the fairy can leave him tonight.
We are total failures.
