Lost for Words


I had to take the two kids and three of their cousins to the mall this evening to run an errand. 
I took the chance to remind my 5 year old of what to do in case she got lost.

"I will shout your name and not 'papa' or 'mommy' so you know it's me calling," she said proudly, remembering instructions we gave her months ago.

"And if I don't hear you?"

"Ah," she struggled. "I know... I will Facetime you!"

What a Feat!


My daughter spent the afternoon in the office measuring all sorts of things with a ruler.

"Your pencil is only 4 inches long, Papa. And your pen, 5."

And she went on and on, measuring everything she could get her hands on.

Wanting to test her knowledge in measurements I decided to quiz her.

"So how many inches are there in a foot, Bela?"

She then put the ruler beside her shoe and started counting.
