three lies Sage told today
"I think she has school today." (This was in reference to a friend Sage didn't want to have a play-date with. Today is Sunday.)
"Can I borrow a pair of your undies? We're doing a project at school with our daddies' underwear."
"No fair."

RID (Riddles in Development)
Evan: "Here's a riddle. There are two cars: One is red. One is black. And one is green."
Eric: "You said there were two cars."
Evan: "It's a RIDDLE!"
***
Evan: "Okay, a bush has five leaves on it. Autumn comes. Three of those leaves fall off. Why are there three left?"
Eric: "I don't know."
Evan: "It grew a new one!"
Eric: "But you said it was fall."
Evan: "Forget the fall part."
Eric: "It's a promising riddle if you forget the fall part. I've got a great idea. This will make it both a riddle and a joke. Say, 'A bush has five leaves on it. Three fall off. Why are there still three leaves on the bush?' Then the person you've said the riddle to will think about it for a long time, and finally he or she will say, 'I don't know. Why?' And you can say, 'Because in the time you spent thinking about it, the bush grew another leaf!'"
Evan: "The problem with that riddle is that the kids at my school don't really appreciate that type of humor."
Eric: "You said there were two cars."
Evan: "It's a RIDDLE!"

on the way to school: the big questions
Evan: "What are you going to put in your will?"
Eric: "That's not the most fun thing to talk about."
Evan: "Mine is going to say that I should be buried like an Egyptian king."
***
Evan: "What would you do if you saw a cat with an iPod?"
***
Evan: "Do you have a flamethrower?"
[Silence.]
Evan: "Do... you... have... a flamethrower?"
Eric: "Are you seriously asking me that?"
Evan: "If you were smart, you'd ask me what I was planning to do with it."

Halloween highlights
Eric: "I like the part where Charlie Brown shows up dressed as a ghost, but with about 14 eyeholes cut in different parts of his sheet, and he says, 'I had a little trouble with the scissors.'"
Evan: "He's the holey ghost."
***
Eric: "I can't believe it's already been a week since Halloween."
Evan: "And we still have our decorations out in the yard."
Eric: "That's okay."
Evan: "Yeah, it's always good to have a big fake rib cage sticking out of the ground."
Evan: "He's the holey ghost."

slow down, you move too fast
On the same day that she made her first basket, Sage taught herself to ride a two-wheeler. I'm proud as a peacock, of course, but also ready for a milestone-free Sunday.
