Elias’ Thoughts

“I drew a smiling fat guy.” (Top left corner of the paper)

Elias: I had a dream that I got to hold both plungers upstairs and downstairs. It was bizarre. I didn’t go very well for me.

Me: why do you have so much nonsense coming out of you right now?

Elias: because I am so nonsensical. I have so much nonsensical gas in me right now.

Elias: can I build with Legos?

Me: yes you can.

Elias: can you help me build a jail?

Me: no, I need to get lunch going. You’re going to be hungry soon.

Elias: can’t we just get more adults here to help?!

Me: I wish we could! But we can’t spread germs.

Elias: they can just stay 10 feet back!

Me: Life will go back to the way it used to be hopefully soon.

Elias: I don’t even remember what it used to be like.

Me: 😭

Elias: now Levi, remember your goal today.

Me: what is Levi’s goal today?

Elias: not going up the stairs.

Elias: mom, it says the coronavirus is spreading from the zoo to Jimmy John’s.

Lewis: you don’t know that Elias. You’re not a scientist. 

Me: Elias, do you see the big boys down the block riding on their bikes?

Elias: yes I see Lewis and a stranger. Oh that's Lewis and Bob Creal.

Me: you see Lewis talking to bob creal? {stands up to look down the block}

Elias: oh, that's just Augustine on his bike not Bob Creal.

Me: you mistook Augustine on his bike for Bob Creal?!
