**We went to my sister, Terri's, house this last weekend to see Lexi dance up in Logan. My brother-in-law, Everette, always gives Bode a hard time but he is learning how to dish it right back to him now. Everette always tells him stories about trolls and tries to scare him. He was in the middle of doing this when Bode says, "The only troll there is is you Everette." We were all laughing and Everette was still going and said, "All I know is if we see one I only have to run faster than you." Bode was quick to respond with, "You can't run faster than me or you will have a hard attack." It was great!!! Don't ask me how he knows what a hard attack is or how he knows to relate it to a man in is 50's...

**The other day my boys and I met Shanda and Benson at the Bean Museum where we had a lot of fun. Bode was watching one of those SILENT movies that had a certain kind of fish on it. I think I said something about not knowing what kind of fish it was when Bode says, "It's a ? (don't even remember what kind of fish it was, I wanna say 'sail fish'), it's kinda a like a Marlin but a little different." Sure enough I look up on the wall of fish and there was the Marlin and the other kind a fish that he was talking about and he knew exactly what he was talking about. I assume that the last time we were there we told him what the names of the fish were and he remembered. I don't remember the last time we went there, but I know it was over a year ago. That kid is smart!
