Day and Knight

Tuesday, September 13th, 2005

Straight from the “things kids say files” …

Drew and Katie are playing at the playground slide thing ..
(Did you ever notice that there’s no such thing as the plain old fashioned slide anymore - you know the kind that’s just a set of steps that ends in a slide? All the “slides” now are fort like things with multiple stairs and slides and fireman polls, etc. “They didn’t have that when I was a kid.”)

Katie is at the top of the “fort”.
Katie: Oh, no. A dragon is coming. I need someone strong and brave to rescue me.
(I believe she refered to Drew as a prince).
Drew: No, no. Dragons are for Knights!
Katie: Oh, not during the bright daytime?

Drew’s Second Marriage Proposal

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

I missed the first proposal - by his friend Amelia - but was on the court to witness Andrew’s second marriage proposal. Drew, Philip and Katie - all living on the court and all within about 6 months of each other age wise - are developing into quite the torrid little love triangle. Well as torrid as 3 year olds can get. It’s As the World Turns on China Rose Court.

This particular marriage proposal was quite amusing as it went something like this.
Philip (to Katie): You’re marrying me.
Katie: No! I’m marrying Andrew.
Andrew: No.

I’m not sure whether to be afraid that Drew’s a commitment-phobe or to be proud that he doesn’t want to be tied down just yet. He’s quite the stud.
