no pics, just a new species
Ok, I don't know if "species" is the right term, but anyway. Juliet decided she is a "rainbow fairy". I asked for some details, and found out that: 1) rainbow fairies don't wear black 2) rainbow fairies are very light, so you can give them piggyback rides as long as they want 3) rainbow fairies all have their own pet unicorn, which can fly 4) there are no boy rainbow fairies, only girls So, then I asked where the new rainbow fairies would come from. This led to a discussion about how even ants and bees, which are mostly girls, have to have a few boys so that they can have new ants and bees eventually. The need for having new rainbow fairies was discussed, in regards immortality vs. having babies, and how you can't have both or the world would eventually be overrun with rainbow fairies. This led to: 5) ok, there is ONE rainbow fairy boy 6) when rainbow fairies grow up, they stop being fairies and become just grown-up women 7) the rainbow fairy boy is immortal, so we only ever need one So, I have a new hero: the rainbow fairy boy. He has a female:male ratio heavily in his favor, and he never dies. | | Monday, February 28th, 2011 | | 7:53 pm |
no pics, just a plan for a library
While Juliet was drinking milk and eating half a bagel (with cream cheese, she will not accept peanut butter or chocolate on a bagel) at the Fair Bean coffeeshop, she came up with the following plan for a library. 1) it will let people be noisy 2) it will not ever take your money (like for fines), it will give you money instead 3) it will have stuffed animals 4) it will have pillow fights, and it will provide the pillows 5) actually the adults WILL have to be quiet, but the kids won't 6) the adults can sit in a separate room, in fact, doing adult stuff like working on the computer and reading books 7) there would be a middle room for the big kids 8) no boys would be allowed in the little kids' room, they play too rough 9) well ok maybe the nice ones could stay, but only if they play nice So, there you have it, a 5-year old girl's idea of the perfect library. She admitted that maybe not too much learning would happen in it. However, she did say it would be "almost as much fun as my school." | | Friday, February 11th, 2011 | | 7:57 pm |
You know what's fun? Explaining the events in Egypt last night to a 5-year old. I substituted words like "bad guy in charge" for "autocrat" and otherwise simplified a bit, but I think I got the point across. Her first question was, "How will they pick the new guy in charge? Will they just find the people having a party in the square and ask them?" How, indeed. I told her I didn't know, but at least now they can talk about how, without getting beat up. She seemed happy about that. As am I, actually. You know what else makes me happy? Pictures of Juliet. So, here we go.

questions
In the last three months or so, Juliet has: 1) begun to notice (and laugh delightedly at) recursion, such as when the ending of "Seven Chinese Sisters" has the seventh sister reading an earlier page of "Seven Chinese Sisters" to a cluster of youngsters. 2) asked me, "What is the biggest number?" 3) asked me, "What if all the people died?" 4) asked me, "What happens after you die?" 5) today, she asked me, "How do I know I'm not dreaming?" I did ok on the first four topics, but on the fifth one I'm afraid I didn't do very well. Actually, to be honest, Juliet said as much (in the Your assistance with these inquiries is appreciated. | | Monday, August 30th, 2010 | | 8:53 pm |

I guess Juliet will be what is called a "digital native". That is someone who grows up being comfortable with computers and other digital technologies. I'd say she's pretty comfortable with it. | | 6:18 pm |

It was inevitable that eventually she would get pictures of the coffeeshop workers. The coffeeshop is called the Green Muse, by the way. We have discussed how it is important to always get permission. | | 6:15 pm |

Sometimes I wish I had asked her what she was thinking about at the time. Can a 4-year old look pensive? The answer is obviously yes. |
