What's Jason's favorite holiday memory?
My favourite holiday memory is the Thanksgiving before last year when all the power went out. There was a huge storm with lots of lightning and all of our lights turned off. It was scary. I didn't like standing in the dark by myself. This was before I went to school so I was only a baby and that's why I cried. Mommy found me and hugged me, and Daddy came in with a torch. He let me hold it and showed me that my room was still the same. My bed was still there and the toy boxes were there, and there weren't any monsters waiting under the bed and the lightning was outside and couldn't hurt me. Mommy told me that the thunder was loud but it was just a noise, like having the radio turned on too loud.
Then Uncle Alex came in and lifted me up and took me into his room. He had candles all around so it wasn't dark anymore. And he had cards, so Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Alex and me all played Go Fish and I won twice. It's my favourite holiday memory because Mommy said I'd been very brave and Daddy let me stay up past my bedtime and we all had a sleepover in Uncle Alex's room.
What's Jason's favorite holiday?
My favourite holiday is Christmas. When I told Uncle Linc he laughed and said it must be because of all the presents, but what I like about Christmas is the elves. I know everyone likes Santa and getting their photo with him every year, but I think the elves are cool. They get to spend all year making toys, like Daddy spends all year making toy buildings. But they'd get to make cars and trucks and dinosaurs and new Mario games, and then they'd have to play with them to test them before Christmas.
I told Uncle Alex I want to be an elf when I grow up, and he said it would depend on how tall I grow. I think that's why Daddy only makes buildings. He must be too tall to be an elf.
Mommy said I'd have to show Santa that I could take care of toys, too, so I pack my toys away when I'm finished playing so Santa knows I'll be a good elf. I don't always remember but I try.
isagel asked:
So, Jason. I noticed you have a lot of uncles, but Uncle Alex is the only one who lives with you and your mom and dad. How come?
I think it's because Mommy and Daddy are scared of spiders. Daddy was reading a bedtime story to me and Mommy, and a great big hairy spider dropped from the ceiling and fell on my covers! Mommy screamed and Daddy grabbed me, and they both ran for the door. It was Uncle Alex who got a shoe and went into my room to kill the spider. Mommy and Daddy both laughed about it, but I think they need Uncle Alex for spider-killing.
They won't admit it though. If I ask, they always say that they love Uncle Alex almost as much as they love me and that he's part of the family. When I asked how come Uncle Linc and Uncle Nando don't live with us, Daddy looked surprised like he hadn't thought of it. Mommy said that we only have three bedrooms, so if Uncle Linc and Aunty Sofia and LJ came to live with us we wouldn't have enough bedrooms. And Uncle Nando has four kids so that would be even worse.
But I still think it's the spider thing.
What are three things your family taught you how to do? One you learned from dad, one you learned from mom, and one you learned from Uncle Alex.
My Daddy taught me how to tie my shoelaces all by myself. You have to make a little bow with the shoelaces and then wrap one over the other, and then pull one loop through, and then tug. It was really hard to learn but Daddy said that if I was good and tried hard that he'd make me a paper shoe when I could do it myself. Daddy likes making things out of paper with lots and lots of folding, and now I keep my paper shoe in my schoolbag so I have it with me all day at school.
Uncle Alex taught me how to make purple. If I'm good, after school Uncle Alex will make cookies and let me choose the shape and colour. Sometimes, we use the star cookie-cutter or the round one or the triangle one or the snowman one. Uncle Alex has a little box of food dyes with coloured lids, so we can make the cookies different colours. We can make them red or green or yellow or orange or blue. I said that purple cookies would be really cool but we don't have purple and Uncle Alex told me to put in a drop of blue and a drop of red, adn when we mixed it together, it was purple. The next day, I tried it with my paints at school and it worked too but my teacher, Miss C, wasn't happy that the red pot of paint turned purple.
Last weekend, Mommy taught me how to fold a boat out of paper. We used wrapping paper in different colours and made a red one for Uncle Alex and a blue one for Daddy and a silver one for Mommy and a gold one for me. I gave Daddy his and he really liked it. Then Mommy ran a little bit of water in the bathtub and got Uncle Alex so we could race our boats across the water. Daddy didn't want to play because he was sad that the water might wreck the boat but I promised to make him another one if it did.

Date: 2008-12-09 10:29 pm (UTC)I love this 'verse -- and the idea of it -- so much. I honestly don't have words for how happy it makes me. (Domestic fluff has always been a weakness of mine. I've always loved Casey/Dan with Charlie, and Matt/Mohinder with Molly, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that adding a kid to my Threesome of Awesome thrills me.)

*snuggles them all*

Aw, poor Michael. Stuck being a structural engineer when, if only he'd been a bit shorter, he could have a been a wonderful elf. :P
But I still think it's the spider thing.
Oh, it is definitely the spider thing.
Plus bathtub boat racing! Oh, the cuteness. *loves* This made my day. <3

Date: 2008-12-11 12:43 am (UTC)Oh, you know it! But if he'd been an elf, he probably wouldn't have ended up on Toy Duty anyway. I bet he'd be a planning elf, working out the most time efficient way for Santa to get into everyone's home and back out again, without tripping any alarms.
This made my day. <3
I'm so glad about that!
