Wife: We can only stay at the pool for 30 min, ok?
#LittleGuy: Ok! 30 min is a long time, girlfriend.
Wife: Girlfriend?
LittleGuy: Yeah. I’m calling anyone who’s a girl girlfriend and anyone who’s a boy I’ll say to them, ok boyfriend.

LittleGuy and my wife walking into Mae’s cafe.

Small boy (#LittleGuy) in a tie dye T-shirt pointing at a decorative mushroom in the crook of a tree that’s growing through the restaurant deck. Above his head on the moss-covered tree is a little fairy door that says ‘There’s no place like Gnome.’

A view looking up the tree, partially amputated and topped with little roofs. Two gnomes can be seen in the picture, and a sign pointing towards ‘Orchid Harbor’

‘Ooh, I love this place! It has real fairies.’ #SoSaysLittleGuy

‘I feel like I don’t want to touch anything today.’ #SoSaysLittleGuy

(Kind of a weird thing to say for a four-year-old, but if I provide the context that it is #ChoreTime, perhaps that clarifies a little…)

‘You know, if you get gray hair, you get a little bit tinier…’ #SoSaysLittleGuy

(Also, he’s a little bit not wrong…the loss of cartilage height and the loss of hair pigment are both normal parts of human senescence)
