- I'd pay cash on the barrelhead to the person who can tell me what Alice means by "ahkoon". #SMAtuS #
- Taught Max 3 rules of scissor safety. Asked him to repeat them to me. He extrapolated about 15 rules from my 3. "Do not cut nose." #SMAtuS #
- I've gotten inexplicably clumsy. Crashing into doorways, tripping over imaginary dead turtles, dropping foodstuffs and bags, etc. #SMAtuS #
- Apparently, Max hates it when people say "perfectimundo". I don't know why, but he said it three times, so it must be true. #SMAtuS #

- @RipOffRed @margolanagan Ah, sweet irony. But I was thinking more about the eye for an eye bit. Also, getting eaten by bears. in reply to RipOffRed #
- @RipOffRed @margolanagan Also, no need to defend. I *liked* the book. :) in reply to RipOffRed #

- @margolanagan Thanks! (So does my 1.5 year old daughter. :) Who I hope will be reading books like yours when she's older. in reply to margolanagan #
- THE TABORIN SCALE by Lucius Shepard: Short and sweet. Why use 400 pages when you can tell a sharp little story in ~100? That's a big dragon! #
- Today, I started reading Octavia Butler's PARABLE OF THE SOWER. I've been meaning to read it for at least a decade. #fridayreads #

- Uncanny memory! Max remembers breaking Brian and Jamilah's "octopus toy" from our Santa Cruz visit last year. #SMAtuS #
- Sarah asked Max what his favorite thing about today was. He pointed to her and said, "You." All together now: Awwwwww. #SMAtuS #
- Max wants to work in a robot factory when he is a grown up. He doesn't need robot school because he can learn on the job. Smart kid. #SMAtuS #
- As Sarah was carrying Alice inside from the car, she pointed to the sky and said, "Alice back out!" #SMAtuS #
