Got to write that down…

I’ve not been doing a good job of getting these quotes down. Almost every day I think, “need to get that down”, but forget. So here is one from yesterday and one from today.

Martin: I have a broken leg Mama. (Said very calmly)

Me: You have a broken leg!?

Martin: MmmmHmmm

Me: I’m sorry to hear that, where is it broken?

Martin: Here, and here, and here. (Showing me scratches from industrious play outdoors).

Martin came to wake me up from naptime, and began telling me all about…

Martin: ”A Hitte (little – not German, just how he pronouces little) owl in our house Mama. And it has a hitte eye. And Papa stepped on it. And now it is Tod! (dead)”

I was still a bit disoriented and had to ask “what was in our house?”

Martin: A hitte owl! EULE Mama! (Owl in German)

Want to see it Mama? Come, I show you.

So I dragged myself out of bed and followed him.

He excitedly pointed to something very small at the foot of the bed, and upon closer inspection I discovered the “owl that Papa had stepped on”.

It was a moth. Grin.
