Little Nephew (Linus) last night on the way home from a barbecue with friends: Today, none of us died. Unqualified success!

Linus just now, getting changed for a swim, seemingly to himself: Just put this on... and I'm ready to swim. The question is, for whom I'm narrating this.

#life with airy #he's been quotable this weekend #he's also SUPER MAD with me because a dove flew into our house and was fluttering around and threatening to fly into the ceiling fan #and I caught it in a towel and took it to the door to release it #and it was flapping like crazy as wild birds tend to do when you have caught them in a towel and are trying to hold them securely #without crushing their little bird bodies #and he feels that I subjected it to unnecessary stress #well sorry I tried to get it out of the house because your little sisters were squealing with glee at the disruption #and your grandmother was wild with fear lest it shit on her pelmets #and your grandfather was helpfully pointing out that our curtains technically don't have pelmets #and quite frankly it did not seem like a safe environment #left to myself I would have liked to just open the doors and windows and be quiet for a while and see if it found its way out #I didn't have that option!
