A new kind of scientist

"Imageologist. They study images."

What kind of images do they study?

"I have a question. What is image anyway?"

Discussion about definition of image ensued. He came back with-

"So they would take pictures of scientific things in the earth or the human body. Very scientifical stuff."

This kid. His mind. Love it.

Benjamin Franklin

At lunch, after Friday School, Sawyer was sharing what he learned in class today.

A main topic was Brn Franklin.

Among his accomplishments Sawyer listed, "...he invented electricity..." He quickly corrected himself and Jake and I were amused.

"Piffed"

The combination of "pissed" and "miffed".

Sawyer asked Jake tonight, during bedtime routine: "Are you piffed at me?"

Feeling Free

"You know why I like talking?"

No.

"Because I feel free when I talk."

Okay, but remember, when you are feeling free [talking] someone else might feel trapped [not talking].


A repeated conversation between "Sawyer" and me.

Drawings

"This is like an evil thing that has thorns on it and it has trapped two people but it only looks like one person is stuck because there is only one person on this side. So he got stuck in this rope thingy and the last part is already done...
This part is a woman stuck in the same contraption the boy was. Do you know why she's stuck? Because she has more power."
