Friend at Bear Lake: Hey Conrad, I like you shoes (Cowboy boots).
Conrad: Thanks. They’re John Wayne’s.
Nightmares
Conrad woke up in the middle of the night and consequently woke up Claire. Claire asked Conrad what was wrong, and a half asleep Conrad repeated softly, “I’m just really creeped out.”
Conrad, Smile.
Kids Nowadays
Weston went to his school’s orientation yesterday. The teacher came back and told Claire how cute Weston is — but she said it with a grin that meant there was more to the story. It turns out the teacher asked Weston what he likes and his answer was, “Violence.”
UPDATE: After posting this, Claire wanted me to mention that she has since had a talk with the boys and explained that, when talking to other people, they like “action” movies, not “violent” movies.

The real version (You have to skip ahead a little):
Googles
So, thanks to my post about the Richie album, I now get amazon ads for Lionel Richie and Michael Bolton’s mug shows up on the Google ads. At least I hope that’s why.
Teeny
Conrad told us today that he had teeny-weeny bosoms, but that he had milk. He then explained how the whole process works: a cow makes milk, we drink it, it fills up our bosoms, and we can then feed babies because they can’t hold cups yet.
The Kids…in 3D
I liked all of the photos I took of the kids in their 3D glasses, but this is my favorite because it looks like a band photo.
Jelly Beans
It’s Easter time, so Conrad’s thoughts are mostly about Easter eggs and candy. While taking a bath, he looks down at his…uh…boys…and asks, “Do I have jelly beans in there?”
I asked Claire if I could post this on the blog and she said, “If you must.”
I must.
Old MacDonald’s
Weston and I went to McDonald’s — or Old MacDonald’s as he calls it. The Happy Meal comes with a few choices: nuggets, burger, fries…and, if you want the nuggets, there are a bunch of weird sauces you can get with them. I repeat the choices to Weston and realize this is a very important decision for him. As I wait for an answer, I notice he’s thinking so hard, his ears are wiggling. Now, West is really good at wiggling his ears. He usually does it just to appease his parents, but apparently, it’s more than an amusing human trick.
