Dad's job

[overhearing dad's conversation with mom]

"Dad if I were you, I wouldn't go to work."

I am not smart

Me: mommy, I am not smart
Mom: why do you say that, you are very smart boy!
Me: there are so much I don't know, I have to learn how to read, I have to learn Chineses, I have to learn English, I have to learn Spanish...
Me: mom, you are super smart

Safety Lesson

Dad: What if a stranger comes up to you and tries to get you to leave with him?
me: I say NO!

Dad: What if a stranger comes up to you and tries to give you candy and get you to leave with him?
me: I say, What's your name?

Writing "Esmond" for the first time

All the letters are there, but I write like my mom does -- the letters don't always fit on the same line.

Strangers

Mom: if a stranger come to you and ask you to go with him, are you going to go with him?
Me: No

Mom: if a stranger come to you and ask you to go with him, and tell you he has candies in his car, are you going to go with him?
Me: what kind of candy he has? M&M?

Mom: if a stranger come to you and ask you to go with him, and tell you he has ice-cream in his car, are you going to go with him?
Me: I know the ice cream man the best!

Volcano drawing

Here is a drawing of a volcano with lava coming out -- with fish in the lava...

[dad was asked to provide the fish]

Earthquake

Mom (sleep with me in bed at night): you can come to the other side if you want to facing me

Me: then my body will be agaist the wall; what if there is an earthquake tonight, will the wall fall? will I fall out of the house then?

Mom: What do you want for your birthday?
Me: Dinosaurs of course.

Mom: Well, what would your second choice be?
Me: Blocks.
Mom: What would you build with the blocks?
Me: A house.
Mom: Who would live in the house?
Me: Dinosaurs of course.
