Oh really?

[For whatever reason, Elliot has not been much in the mood for blogging over the last couple of months. Whenever asked if he'd like to post something, he generally responds with "Hmm... Not right now." Still, he seems to enjoy checking for comments on his blog. And even though we inform him that he's not likely to get new comments without new posts, he hasn't completely grasped the correlation. So in the spirit of some of Elliot's older blogs, this post is pulled from a casual conversation earlier today... Who knows? Maybe it will help to jump-start the process again.]

"You're going to get real tall soon, Daddy."

["Oh yeah? Because it's going to be my birthday soon?"]

"Yeah. You're going to be a real man when you get taller. Because you keep getting taller and taller and taller and taller and taller... 'Cause it's your birthday."
