Elliot and I were playing zombies. I was shooting me, but I told him I have a shield up. The only way to break the shield is to shoot a “photon torpedo” (Star Trek reference).

He thought I said “photon burrito”. I was shot many times by such burritos and the shield ultimately failed.

The other day, max showed me a new toy with a small video screen while in Karolina’s car. He described it as a pet he had to keep feeding or it dies.

“Oh, a tamagotchi!” Max and Elliot did not know that word. I think max’s toy is a knock-off.

So now Elliot has been asking me everyday for a “Hama gotchi gotchi”. He has had many names for it, variations of tamagotchi. It’s very cute.
