I really need to get a little working tape recorder or actually get out and use my video camera because Cameron (and all the children, of course) is growing up so quickly! And he says some of the cutest stuff! Of course probably my all time favorite thing he says is when he’s talking Star Wars and calls the Emperor the “Emperner.” But right now he’s into singing along with the music we play in the van and it’s just adorable (perhaps not always appropriate, but I know he doesn’t get the inuendo in the songs so I refuse to feel badly about it, it’s just cute)! Some of his favorites are “Material Girl,” Sexy Back,” REM’s “Superman,” and Jim Brewer’s version of ACDC singing the “Hokey Pokey!” Also, today at lunch he told me a knock-knock joke which he probably doesn’t really understand why it worked and was funny (because his consequent jokes did not pack the same humorous punch) but it got everyone laughing. So here it is for you: Knock-Knock {who’s there?}Ear. {ear who?} Ear Funny.
Do you get why we laughed? If not, try saying it out loud to yourself. LOL ‚
Yes, please make all the kid recordings you can. And then update them in whatever storage/retrieval formats are current. I’m not sorry I’ve got all that 8mm video of you, even though I can’t watch it without borrowing a player.
I am glad you’re writing again!
Cameron is amazing and… I might even say Shakespearian in his understand and prose with the comedy! He makes me laugh!
Whenever you ask Cameron what he wants he cocks his head to the side and says “you know!” And if you try to tell him something or ask if he knows something his response is usually hands-on-hips-leaning forward “I know that.”
