i was just sitting there a minute ago reading a book to milos and brontë and we passed a picture of a penguin. brontë instantly said, "duck!" that's another new one, she adds tons every day, so, as usual, i asked her to say it again: "can you say duck, brontë?"
"quack," she said.
quack! how the hell does she know ducks and quack go together? amazing.
meanwhile, while all this is going on, milos is still reading the book, but when brontë shifted a puzzle piece popped up beside los on the couch. so he sees it out of the corner of his eye, half turns to the puzzle, gives it a quick look, puts the piece straight into its spot, not looking anymore, and goes back to the book. incredible.
