School admissions counselor:  Do you like to collect things? 

M:  Yes, I collect toys and my mom collects groceries.

I can tell what you are thinking because brains are connected.

About my forgetfulness:

"You have to keep track of your mind."

This video from about a year ago is Micah's favorite to watch.  Mostly because of the head nod and argh towards the end.

You know what Christmas is?  It's the birthday of God's son.   All the parents brought their toys to him because they were so happy he was here.  That's why kids get presents.  But then he died and became a spirit like God.  All the Gods are in all of us.  Even ninjas need God.

Playing is good for your brain.  It gives you imaginations and stuff.

After Micah heard Santa would not be able to get him a $400 lego set, he decided Santa must not love him.  "Nobody loves me, everyone thinks I'm a rotten egg.  And you just don't understand how Santa works, he has magical elves and they don't have to buy things..." 


Later in the night...
Me: You really know how much Daddy and I love you, right?  
M:  (pause, pause, pause)  Yes and no. 
Me:  Well, is there anything I can do to help you remember how much we love you?
M:  (pause, pause, pause)  Yes and no means sometimes you have a bad day.

M: That's what you are for me, a child theparist.
Me:  Therapist? 
M:  Yeah. 
Me:  What do you think a therapist is?
M:  They help kids who are in crime, who are angry so they are hitting people.  The principal calls them down and the therapist helps them understand why they shouldn't hit people and then they can go play. 





(I had said something not nice about another driver and then acknowledged that I shouldn't have.)


It's okay, I do that sometimes too, Mommy.  Sometimes I say things because my body needs to get it out.  At home you can just get all your confused stuff out so you don't say mean things.

But I have God's head and God told me that I should have Doritos for dessert. 







When it's half day and half night I see the sun turning into the moon.

When you went to sleep last night I snuck out and got your phone.  And then all my friends came over and my cousins.  We watched Godzilla and had a feast party.  Then when they heard you waking up, they left and I tiptoed up the stairs and you just saw me with my eyes closed.  





Something about Dodger's came on the radio...
M:  Is Uncle Kenny coming back this year?
Daddy:  Yes, I think he is.   So we can go back to Arizona this year and visit him. 
M:  But I can't go.  Not this weekend and not the next. 
Daddy:  Why is that?
M:  Papa is coming to visit.

If you choke on something then you should keep it where it was and when your spit comes up for the ride, then you can swallow it.

At a certain time, our time to live stops.  Then God turns it back to dinosaur time.  Dinosaurs will come back, then woolly mammoths.  In the meantime, we're going to be dead.  People die and then their different brain goes to someone else.  When a dinosaur dies, their spirit goes to a Stegosaurus.

If you don't eat you die. Or you get smoked, like what happened to Michael Jackson.  (What do you mean smoked?) It blocks your lungs from breathing.  You know how you breath through your lungs like I'm breathing right now.  He was a singer, but he didn't eat that much and he kept eating junk food, so he got smoked.  He ate like 60 pieces of candy and then 2 pieces of broccoli.   Junk food fills your body and just blocks your lungs so he couldn't breath.  



Part of a long rant on the way home from school: 



And those people who haven't paid you are stupid, they should be banished!  This is the worstest day of my life.  And it's only afternoon and it's dark out!  This is my infinity!  And there's a shuttle in space that tells us the weather and it's always wrong!!  It says it's going to be hot and it's cold and it says it's going to rain and it's sunny!....It's worst being a kid.

You know why red is the best color?  Why boys and girls like it?  Because it's half fire and half pink.  Boys like fire because it's cool.  Girls like pink because it's pretty.  
(What does cool mean to you?)
It means like, "Oh yeah, I love that".. actually, I don't know what it means.

I'm older than R because she's 5 and I'm 4 1/2 but really I was born the day before her.  But you and Daddy wanted my birthday to be March 6th because that was a special day.  So you asked God if your son could have that birthday and he said yes, but really I was born the day before R.

It's lucky my name is Micah because California uses a C instead of a K.  So I'm lucky I have a C.  Some people are lucky.

About his dreams, "I go in this world where I am all alone.  You and Daddy aren't there.  And it's too bad you don't get to be in that world because all kinds of strange things happen.  My brain takes me to a different planet.  It's funny but scary because sometimes there's monsters in that world."

When I was looking at red bumps on his chest, "Mom, mom, mom, it's fine.  It will be gone in the morning.  You worry about your body and I'll worry about my body."

A Shark Story
(told while looking at the Marina)

I hear the shark.  He's at the bottom of the ocean, but he's coming for a midnight snack.  It's not safe for the boats but I'm afraid we can't do anything to help.  I'm sorry, but the shark already came up to it.  I have just seen his bubbles.  I see the shark's fin right there in the moonlight.  All he leaves is crumbs.   He's hiding, but his fin is sticking out.  I don't want to say it, but he's going to take one of the body parts.  Can't you see??!
This is shark bidden!
A shark trap!
A shark bidden!
A shark bite!

The earth gives us night so it can spin.  That's why the sky has so many colors.  It doesn't make sense, but it makes sense to me.

M had a badly placed splinter and didn't say much today beyond, "I can't walk."



Monday, November 1, 2010


M:  My eyes need a break, but you need to keep playing.
Me:  Really?  I want to take a break too.
M:  Well, if you do, my eyes might get so bad that I have to go to the hospital.
Me: But you're resting your eyes.  Why do I need to play?
M:  Because your playing makes my eyes happy.
