The Alexanderpools: June 2012
http://alexanderpool.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 05, 2012. From the Mouth of Sofia (Math and Negotiations Edition). At my most recent parent-teacher conference, Sofia's teacher told me that Sofia is doing great with reading, but isn't really into math yet. The most enthusiasm she's shown for numbers lately is to tell me that she loves me "infinity". The other day in the car I thought I would show her a couple of neat tricks about math to pique her interest, and this is the conversation that followed:. Sofia, what's zero plus one? What abo...

The Alexanderpools: May 2012
http://alexanderpool.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Happy (belated) birthday, Ariel! I quipped, "Well, I was hoping for something a little more muted, but I guess that's not TOO pink." She gave me a completely blank stare, which prompted me to explain my "two / too" joke. "Oh; very funny," she said unconvincingly. Just then, right when I was about to get all embarrassed for my horrible pun, Sofia exclaimed gleefully, "HA! My daddy is a funny guy! Wednesday, May 16, 2012. From the Mouth of Sofia (Marketing Edition). I'm starting to t...

The Alexanderpools: From the Mouth of Sofia (Marketing Edition)
http://alexanderpool.blogspot.com/2012/05/from-mouth-of-sofia-marketing-edition.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. From the Mouth of Sofia (Marketing Edition). I'm starting to think that Sofia has been watching too much TV. The other day I made some remark about a mess, causing Sofia to announce, "I have to Oxy-Clean the tough stains out." I'm pretty sure that she's not their target market, but somewhere at this very moment the ad wizards behind Oxy-Clean's new marketing campaign are chest-bumping and giving each other high fives.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011. From the Mouth of Sofia (She Is Her Father's Daughter Edition). Conversation between Sofia and Pegs this morning while walking to the car:. Mama, you are so stu. (. Pauses because she knows she's going to be in a world of hurt if she finishes that sentence. Pegs looks over at her and gives her "The Look". Stupa, mama. I said "stupa.". You are one lucky little girl right now. Grinning while continuing to walk to the car. Just stupa, mama. (. You know, like mopping the floor.

The Alexanderpools: Funny Guy

The Alexanderpools: Birthday barbecue
http://alexanderpool.blogspot.com/2012/05/birthday-barbecue.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2012. All told, it was really nice to host some great friends, and the evening was made even better when I went back into the house after the party was over and realized that those same friends had cleaned everything up for me. It was the most incredibly thoughtful gesture, and I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present. I'm seriously tempted to invite everyone over next weekend for a Mexican-themed vacuuming party. So glad you had such a good birthday party! Why I Blame Eric.

Wednesday, May 02, 2012. From the Mouth of Sofia (Gymnastics Edition). Papou took Sofia to school this morning; this is the exchange Sofia and I had before she left:. Have fun at school today! Have fun at work! Me ( blatantly stealing a line from Eric's dad. Work is work, Sofia. If work were fun, they would call it "fun". Sofia ( without missing a beat. And that's why they call them "gymnastics". Categories: Mouth of Sofia. Why I Blame Eric. Sofia is the best! Something you may not know. Why I Blame Eric.
