a recent dialogue with Milo … to set the scene we are walking (I’m pushing him in his stroller) down a sidewalk in Brooklyn … I had just put something into a mailbox along the way …

Milo: “What did you do?”
Me: “I put the something in the mailbox”
Milo: “What did you put in the mailbox?”
Me: “A dvd…”
Milo: “What dvd?”
Me: “A dvd I watched last night”
Milo: “Why did you do that?”
Me: “I had to return it to the dvd store”
Milo: “What dvd store?”
Me: “Netflix”
Milo: “What Netflix?”

Milo has developed a knack recently for lines of interrogation that transcend any sense of logic (that I’m accustomed to).

I’m still confounded on how to answer – anyone have any ideas?

It was a beautiful sunny day in Brooklyn…and we were on a mission. Milo and I were stalking the ice cream truck. It wasn’t appearing at its usual haunts, so we decided to broaden our search beyond the playground, and took a little walk. At one point, we stopped to listen for its telltale music and I said to Milo, “can you hear it?” To which he sagely replied:

“I can hear it being quiet”
