Kendall and Talon say Please, Thank you, and You’re Welcome. They doesn’t sound the like way practiced speakers do, and each girl has a unique way of speaking. But for experienced parents, we understand that they are trying to say these phrases. Talon points to something, anything, and asks, “What’s this?” She points to something else and asks, “What’s that?” But it sounds like “wash deesh” and “wash dat.” Kendall is repeating the Knock, Knock jokes that she hears from Kyle. “Na na,” she says. “Who’s there?” I ask. And there’s a pause. She smiles and says, “Eee!” I think that’s the extent of the joke because I ask “Eee Who?” and she giggles.

Dad brewed some beer a month ago. Ty and I helped him bottle and cap it. We had some during the “Lost” season premiere. We gave some to Dad’s brother and a cashier, with whom we are friendly, at the grocery store. We really downed the bottles during the Daytona 500 last weekend.
