Entropy
Oskar just informed me that he doesn't want to be outside "because of entropy".
Edit 3:20pm
As I mentioned on Facebook, he was explaining to me that entropy causes your cells to die and clearly he didn't want that. He also had concerns about Blackbody Radiation.
We just got home from soccer, where we were, and I told him that I was going to look up Blackbody Radiation in his Physics book. He said, "Look under "Hot Stuff". Sure enough - here they are entropy and blackbody radiation.

Breakfast Convo with Osk
Oskar: Mom, where should I live when I grow up?
Me: Close to me.
Oskar: I was thinking close to the Natural History Museum.
[pause]
If I have kids, I could take them to the Natural History Museum. And I was thinking you could come with us. I'll call you up, and then you can come meet us, and we'll go to the Natural History Museum."
Me: Close to me.

Assistant
The other day Kardynn was being particularly clingy. I was trying to get the house cleaned up and it was challenging with a child attached at the hip (literally). So I tried to think of ways to distract her. I thought maybe I could get her to "help" me. We proceeded to have a conversation that went something like this:
Me: Would you like to be Mommy's assistant?
Kardynn: I not She-shen, I Kardynn.
Me: No, not Kiersten, A-SSIS-TANT. Do you want to me by A-SSIS-TANT?
Kardynn: Sheshen's downstairs. I Kardynn Engen.
Me: An assistant is someone who helps someone else. You can be my assistant.
Kardynn: No, I Kar-dynn.
And on it went. Eventually I gave up and continued to carry her around on my hip. For the record, typically she doesn't even call Kiersten "She-shen" anymore. She's moved on to calling her Kir-sten.
Me: Would you like to be Mommy's assistant?
Kardynn: I not She-shen, I Kardynn.
