important reminders

here's what i overheard from owen's conversation with michael this morning- it's a nice "summing up" of the conversations owen & i've been having all week. glad to hear it's been sinking in, more or less. . .

daddy so we don't go in the street because there are real, big cars there and they can't see you and they just go beep! really loud so we have to play rally cars in the garage.
. . .
daddy when you go to work remember don't throw sand at your friends. because it's not nice and just use magic words instead. it's good for rescuing people. LANGO! PRESTO! HADDO! those are pretty good magic words.
. . .
and daddy i made a little people village. and there's the ocean and there's the school and there is the home and it's like papa's santa's village except papa's is special so don't touch it. we only look, daddy, we don't touch ok?

ok daddy goodbye. be a big boy.
