Dorothy came up with this pose

Sometimes the dolls walk with us

At first they were Leia braids

Proud of her pigtails

Always with the skinned knees

The Sunday Funnies

The fairy house that Brian and Dorothy built now includes a high enclosed perch for the fairies.  Dorothy, for some reason, calls this "Fairy Cabin Number One", and always refers to it by its entire name, "Fairy Cabin Number One".

In a worried mood, Dorothy complained that she doesn't like that we are sideways and upside down on the earth, because what will happen if gravity stops?

A podcast explained that Antarctica used to be desert-like.  Dorothy asked me, "Did somebody in Antarctica pray to God that it would get cold, but it got too cold?"

Dorothy relayed to me a joke she had heard:  How do dinosaurs pay their bills?  With Tyrannosaurus Checks!  "What's funny about that?" the modern girl then asked.

Dorothy is getting personal with our Google Assistant.  "Hey Google," she requested, "tell me a story while I eat dinner."

"This the best pizza I've ever had"

Happily doing a workbook? Or bribed?

The Sunday Funny

We were reading a short version of Alice in Wonderland, and the Mad Hatter asked, "How is a raven like a writing desk?"  "I know!" Dorothy answered.  "They both start with Rr!"

Dorothy keeps borrowing my phone and then I find the pictures she has taken.

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy took out a hand-me-down 100-piece puzzle, and I advised that we should count the pieces before we took time to make the puzzle.  She disappeared for a bit, and came back to tell me, "I counted the pieces and it turns out it's a 104-piece puzzle!"

Dorothy likes to listen to a podcast for children called But Why.  Its episodes answer questions like "Why do baby teeth fall out?" and "Where does the sky end?"  While playing with the water hose today, Dorothy said, "We should ask But Why why water slips through your hands."  I tried to answer her question, and she responded, "Okay, but But Why will give us more facts."
