Transient Witticisms: Hen-speak

Henry’s jealous of Finn’s March birthday.
H: “I don’t want July! I want a different month!”
Me: “Like what?”
H: “Um… San Francisco!”
Henry sees the globe on Continental planes: “Those are raccoon airplanes. They have stripey tails!”
Hen channels his mom: Rolling on the floor he says, “My back is hurting. I’m doing exercises.” And then, “My back wants truck videos!”
Henry’s learning “sorry.”
H: “Sorry I puked all over, Dad-O.”
Me: “Oh, you don’t have to be sorry, bud.”
H: “Sorry I apologized.”
“What are *these*, Dad-O?” asks Henry, fingering my forehead wrinkles. Been asking myself that, son.
On speakerphone the conf. call system says, “Press the pound key.”
“Press the palm tree!” grins Henry. “Robot lady said it!”
“It’s not Christmas anymore, Mad Birds,” declares Henry. “Take off your party helmets!“
