Well, at least he knows it's dumb. Too bad that didn't stop him. Jory climbs up on my mom and dad's high bed and jumps around close to the edges singing, "Dumb dumb game. It's a dumb dumb game. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb game." And on and on and on before jumps off the edge and says, "That was a good story." Then he gets right up and does it over again, and over and over and over. This child!?!
Then a bit later, we had the vacuum out, and Jory doesn't see it as a vacuum cleaner at all. First, it was The frozen Carbonite box that Han Solo was stuck inside, and of course Jory was Han Solo hanging on the wall inside Jabba the Hutt's palace. Finally, he was freed, and then it became his oxygen tank so that it could help him breathe. He attached himself to it by putting the hose behind his back and breathing into the handle. (I have pics but haven't had a chance to download them). Then it turned into a gun so that his heroes could shoot down Jabba and the stormtroopers. (That was the hose part). Oh what a vacuum cleaner can become these days.

Web of Lies
Jory hurt his finger and reached out telling me to kiss it better. I kiss it.
Jory: I hurt my finger when the mokey bit it at the end of the pool.
Me: In the pool?
Jory: The monkey bit it in the pool in San Diego. But my finger's getting better.
Me: I'm sure glad your finger's getting better, or I'd have had to beat up that monkey.
Jory: The monkey's not here. He's in the water in San Diego.
(Jory has never been to San Diego. Nor has he ever been bitten by a monkey to my knowledge, but he knows how to keep up a lie).
Several minutes later we walk into the kitchen and Jory shows Grandma his injured finger.
Grandma: What happened to your finger?
Jory: The monkey bit it.
Grandma: Where were you when he bit you?
Jory: I was in San Diego at the zoo in the water.

Jory Tales on Valentine's Day
Jory: "The little tiny old man out by the pond fell into the pond, and the flamingos bit him on the neck." (About his imaginary friend from last summer)
Jory: "I'd better take this kryptonite away from you, Ella, because you are Supergirl and it will make you sick. If I take it away then you will get better." (He proceeds to take away her chapstick mainly because he wants it, and not because it will make her sick).
Jory: "And Anakin Skywalker is a good guy, but he grows up and becomes Darth Vader. But then he turns back into Anakin in the end, and he's a good guy in the end. The End." (About his need to make everybody a good guy in the end).
Jory: "I'm Anakin Skywalker. I'm the good Anakin Skywalker when he's still too little and isn't a bad guy yet." (After his cousin let him wear his shirt that looked somewhat like a Jedi Robe and while he was running around like a madman being Anakin).
Jory: "The stormtrooper and Hermione Granger are walking together. Now they're going swimming together. Oh, no, Hermione Granger is sick. Don't worry the stormtrooper will take her to the doctor." (From the tub....he proceded to have Hermione go to the doctor's office, where she was seen to by Doctor Stormtrooper, who also fixed C3PO's eye in the process).
Jory: "Once upon a time there was a little boy named Bruce Wayne. He grew up and became a man named Batman. Batman threw the Joker, and Batman killed the Joker. Batman was a good guy, and Joker was a bad guy. The End." "That was a good story?"
He's always telling these little stories, but these are ones I can remember from today that he told his cousins. He had one of them baffled by the kryptonite story and all of them laughing their heads off.
Oh, and what else did we do for Valentine's Day. We went sledding. Jory loved sledding the last time, and was all set again, but after two trips down the slow slope this time (slow because there was just simply so much powder), he spent the rest of his time trying to slide down it on his butt, running back up, trying to slide down head first, and jumping off a tiny little cliff so he could land on his head. He didn't want to come home and had a little ornery attack when he had to head back to the car. He and his older cousin both had a few problems following orders to stay away from some semi-dangerous places. But eventually, Ethan pulled him along on a sled ride back to the car.
Quite a nice day overall.
