How do they do that?? I know that they're dancers, but still.
The other day we were in the park and I overheard the following conversation happening between a man and his two small children who were sitting on a bench outside the museum;
Small boy (aged about 3 waving his arm around as if a trunk): Phroarhhhh, I'm a heffalump! I'm a heffalump! You're a heffalump
Grumpy Father: We're not heffalumps.
Small girl (aged about 5 and terribly terribly serious); But daddy, mummy really is a heavy lump because she's sooooo big.
I laughed. And then pretended I was coughing as Grumpy Father glared at me. People without a sense of humour should not be allowed to have children.
*hilarious* Alas, I have been the object of a kid's brutal honesty. Poor mum. Hee for you though ;)
ReplyDeleteThose photos are gorgeous - and yes, I feel like a clumsy heffalump in comparison. But now I'm off in search of more of those beautiful pictures...
ReplyDeletePeople without senses of humor rarely survive having children. With luck, the children do OK anyway.
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT remotely heffalumpish.
I can't get over how it really looks like Naomi actually is flying. Not jumping, flying. I love her.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very funny conversation...my grandma was actually like that in her later years. But her word was "zoptic", I truly don't know why.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if I ever said something like that to my child, I would pray that they would respond "well, you may not be, but I am, so there". Just to put me in my place. I hate when parents condescend with the word "we".
ReplyDeleteIt's delightfully mary poppinsesque.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious. And I wholeheartedly agree - how could you have kids and NOT have a sense of humour? It sounds so sad.
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos! Little kids are so funny :)
ReplyDeleteLolz.. how great it is to be a kid with an imagination. Too bad the dad lack one though.
ReplyDeletethat was cute! I'm sure he was laughing inside, as I am laughing out loud.
ReplyDeleteagreed. i thought it was a requirement to have a sense of humor if you planned to have children as kids tend to say the most hilarious things.
ReplyDeleteI am giggling just reading the little girl's comment, I can only imagine what I'd do if I were THERE...
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are gorgeous!
Love! If I could come back as something else it would be a dancer. so beautiful.
ReplyDeletemakes me feel like Godzilla in Tokyo. Run villagers, run!
ReplyDeletei love that story. so funny.
ReplyDeletethat is a GREAT little story! i love when you stumble into overhearing little conversations like that. children really are the best.
ReplyDeleteand those photos are simply fantastic.
have a lovely weekend!
I agree!~
ReplyDeleteLet's put all the grumpy people on their own island. :)
I'd have laughed too. Such an innocent remark by the little girl!
What lovely littles! I should like to move to your land and nanny them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I now plan to do more umbrella dancing on bridges.
this is awesome!!
