C: I love you THIS much (stretching out his arms as wide as they would go).

Me: And I love you THIS much.

C: Oooo — that’s a lot. (cute smile)  I love you as big as my room, from that wall to that wall!

Me: And I love you as big as this house!

C: Ahhh!

(not to be left out) E: I love you as big as the whole UNIVERSE!

Me: And I love you, right up to heaven.

“Then he looked beyond the thorn bushes, out into the big dark night.  Nothing could be farther than the sky.  ’I love you right up to the moon,’ he said, and closed his eyes.  ’Oh, that’s far,’ said Big Nutbrown Hare.  ’That is very, very far.’  Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves.  He leaned over and kissed him good night.  Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, ‘I love you right up to the moon — and back.’ ”

This is the kind of thing I would “tweet” if I could bring myself to do Twitter/ to tweet/ whatever.  Nothing of consequence, but it cracked me up.

It is so stinkin’ hot that I just saw a squirrel literally DRAPED over a “Y” spot in a tree.  Draped.  Like a towel.  He was just hanging there, looking miserable.

That’s probably too long for Twitter.  Who cares.  It’s also too hot for editing, esp. when I don’t have to.
