Sarcastic Ekko

Ah, my dear Ekko,

It's been a long time since I've written.  In fact, I think I start every letter off like that.  I don't know what's mommy's excuse.  :)  She was telling a story last night that I've never heard before!  Can you believe it?  Cool Ekko stories and she doesn't even tell me!

When you were younger, and Lolo and Lola were down, they drove you to speech therapy.  Now Lolo likes to tell you of the his younger days when he would eat just about anything that moved.  He would point out birds on our front lawn and tell you that they were good eatin'.

So, when you were driving back from speech therapy, they gave you a black paper bird on a stick to play with.  On the way home, you started to eat it because as we all know, it's good eatin'.  Your mouth was covered with black paper drool, and boy, was Lola ANGRY at Lolo.  Seems to be a regular occurance, just like our household.

There are so many cute stories that I wish I could remember.  It was my birthday a week or so ago.  And last year, I was able to get you to tell me what mommy got.  This year, however, you and mommy were bugging me that you got me a dog.  For those of you who don't know, getting a dog is akin to one of the worst punishments in my life.  I'm quite content not having some stinky, slobbery animal constantly sniffing my privates hanging about the house.  I think the fish is high maintenance, and I don't even take care of it.  I'm trying to find ways to do LESS work, not more.

Anyways, I think you and mommy both found it funny.  But when mommy wasn't around, I asked you again, and then you said, "Do you want a hint?"  Well, I didn't want to get in trouble with mommy, and I actually like being surprised, so I didn't really want a hint, for I was scared you would tell me.  So I said, "I don't think mommy would want you to give me a hint," but you persisted "I can give you a hint!".  I seriously still resisted and then you told me:

"It has four legs."

Good grief.  Anyways, fortunate for me, it was a couple of movies and then tickets to Spamalot (cool!) so I'm a happy guy!

Life is good in the Elumir household.  Auntie Becky and Uncle Aldo are down currently, and we've been going out to eat, having fun, and it's just like old times!

There are so many funny stories, but lately, you don't like to hear MY funny stories.  Well, my stories about my childhood.  So what if they go on for about 10 minutes?  They should be highly interesting.  But no.  Now, I can use it as a form of punishment, you'll scream if I force you to listen to one of my stories.

You were chatting about how last Halloween, you went dressed up as, oh, I don't even remember.  I said, "When I was younger, I dressed up for halloween."

You said, "Everyone does that, daddy.  Just forget about it."

Anyways, mommy has a lot of fun stories, I can't seem to remember them all.  You take care of yourself my beauty.  I love hanging out with you.
