YES, WE CAN VISIT YOU, BUT WE'LL ONLY BE ABLE TO STAY FOR A MONTH OR TWO.

Spent a delightful evening with friends. Our son had a long list of questions and observations. Ultra-condensed summary:

(begin quote-unquote):

Do they have a bathroom? I thought they didn't but they do. I didn't know they had toilet paper too! Hey, they have a door like us, did they take ours? Can we stay overnight? Can they share their toothbrushes with us? Can I have juice? Can I have an apple slice? Hey, I found money on the counter...can I keep it? Why do they have toys? Why do they have a bathtub? Hey, a LEGO boat, we don't have one of those! Are we going to watch a lot of movies here?

If they were doing headstands,
the frowns would be epic.
Also, I would like to get my dad
a pair of matching overalls.
Because he would wear them.

My dad sent a message to our son - his grandson. This is it below:

Thanks Johannes. Just when I think life life is In danger of going back to normal, you come along and infuse it with your own brand of cool out the ordinary kid stuff and remind me just how cool God is. I needed that: my last infusion was Stella laughing uproariously at my inanely droll way of trying to be funny by making the hair on her Blue Pony stand up suddenly, acting scared and calling it "Scary Pony." Then your Uncle Joshie called and said he found my schedule of physical therapy appointments in Stella's car seat: she had edited them into a shorter and more condensed and easier to read version without the date or time of day to confuse my simple mind. I like that kid too. Johannes, I am tired of Gramma Susie always typing my posts so she's going to let me do my own typing now.

I felt that I wuz do. In yer next series of questshuns wood you ask yer Dad if you and yer sissy cood cumm liv with Gramma Susie and us?. Then call Uncle Joshie and ask if Stella can cumm liv with us us? Maybe for a month or six?
