Consonant

 We added a new family member: A cat that has been dubbed Tim "Skippyjon" Jones. Here are a few pictures:

Jeff: "Simon, do you know what a consonant is?"
Simon: "Oh, I know! It's a huge chunk of land!"
Ha ha ha! I believe the word he was looking for is "continent".
I jokingly told Simon that he would make a great minion. He smiled, looking flattered, and said, "Aw, you're just saying that."

Simon informed me that he doesn't like to read. He had a book open on his lap when he said that. My sides hurt from laughing.

Simon: "I found a new way of breathing. It's like spitting in reverse."
Me: "Do you mean breathing through your mouth?"
Simon: "I don't know. I can't find an adjective to describe it."
