Snaggle-nose death putto

Setup: We’re watching Julie & Julia. Adam has never knowingly eaten cheese in his life, and claims to hate it.

Amy Adams: …it tastes like cheese sauce, yum…
Adam: Papa, what is cheese sauce?
Me: Cheese sauce is SAUCE made with CHEESE. Honey, cheese is one of the greatest things on earth and I can’t wait until you realize you love it.
Adam: I’m afraid it’s going to be when I’m 44 and you won’t be around to see it.

Setup: I’m putting a speedlight and shoot-through umbrella on a lightstand in preparation for shouting at the boys to hold still for one god damn second while I try to take one frigging decent photograph.

Adam: Papa, when you die don’t throw this stuff away so I can use it when you’re dead.
Me: …

Setup: Trying to get to the bottom of this death thing, and maybe flesh out this weak post while I’m at it.

Me: Adam, do you think I’m going to die?
Adam: No, I don’t want you to die. Maybe you’re too old to die. I can’t wait until I am six and then seven. Maybe I will die when I am 45.
Me: Honey, 45 is pretty young to die.
Adam: Maybe you will die when you’re 100.
Alek: I DON’T HAVE ANY IPHONE!
