Beckett's Jokes  Knock knock Who's there? Avery. Avery who? Avery. Knock knock Who's there? Mom Mom who? Mom,the water mommy.  Why did the straw trying to cross the big jar of milk water a car and phone? Cause he was trying to get to hooooommmme. Avery's jokes  Why did the cow go over the mountain? Because he couldn't go through the mountain. How would you know there was an elephant in refrigerator?  There'd be footprints in the butter & the eggs would be broken."

Beckett just ran into a CVS, stole a tiny car, and ran out into a mall. Here is a photo of the thief with his contraband now. He totally ducked and tried to slink sneakily out of the store.   He knew what he was doing. Gulity.

Overheard  just now, "Beckett you can't lick a wall in a restaurant."  Like, you know, other places are OK, but a restaurant just NO.

Beckett just ran into a store at a rest stop, grabbed food, and ran out.  When I asked what he was doing he said,"I already paid." #Lifeofcrimeahead   Hashtag hashtag hashtag

"I'm always wondering what Beckett will look like when he's older.  Like I imagine his head on a grown guy's body with a suit.  It's funny.  It's like on Elmo when the have an elephant riding a bicycle.  The just put an elephant head on a guy's body."

"That was the best thing I have ever seen my whole life." Beckett "He hasn't seen much."  Avery

"Since we went to Vegas, they let me into the Star Wars Club.  Even though I've never seen Star Wars, I was allowed in---because they thought Vegas was so cool."  Who are these Vegas-loving-elementary-school-Star-Wars-Club - leadership-wielding elites?

Overheard at naptime: "Ever since I can remember, I've wanted a brother or sister." "And I came up!" "Yea, then you came.  I wanted you since I was like two-- to talk to or play with."
