Isaac: “I like this house!”

Isaac: “Why is there a rooster at church?” (Because they’re everywhere. The common, common bird crowing all over the island).


Isaac: “There’s smoke on this island every day. It stinks.”

Isaac: “I liked those dancing ladies!” (After a performance we saw at dinner for our anniversary and Dylan’s birthday).

NeeMom: “So Isaac people here like to say your name a different way. “es ah ahc.”
Isaac with his eyes on his feet quietly: “It’s annoying.”

Dylan: “Beach today?”

Dylan: “Helping Mama.”

Benjamin: “Who is it that likes grandma’s pumpkin pies so much?”
NeeMom: “Me!”
Benjamin: “No….” voice trailing off.
NeeMom: “You mean Dylan?”
Benjamin: “No…”
NeeMom: “You mean Uncle Neil?”
Benjamin: Happily “Yes! Uncle Neil. We’re going on the South Pacific Train to visit Neil. No we’re going to ride on the trains we rode when we visited Aunt Cheryl. What were those? We’re going from the countryside into the city where all the little apartments are where Neil lives.”

Benjamin: “We have great music in the South Pacific!” (referring to some tunes on the computer playing in the background).

Isaac and Benjamin: “We’re going on our train to Bora Bora.”

Benjamin also has a new dog that we made together named Fa’aa (just like the city where the airport is here. You pronounce every vowel in Tahitian).

Benjamin: “Dad! Don’t put your feet on our nice new table.” (After he had been using his pretend saw on it).
