“…and it’s always good when you can involve macaroni art.”

“Progressive songs aren’t linear. Most songs follow a pattern of verse, chorus, verse, chorus. But progressive songs don’t do that…They put you on a path and take you somewhere. They don’t go in a circle.”
— Elijah, on progressive rock

“My math teacher was going to explain how to do a problem, and she called it an Elijah-problem. She said I always figure things out way ahead of everyone else, and it was an advanced problem. I had it done before she finished explaining it.”

    I can’t wait until my kids get older and I can overhear them expounding on their awesomeness.

    Today I started doing one of my cheers and then Elizabeth called out “Break it down now!” Then made some beat box noises and I almost died of happiness.

    Janelle: I know just how you feel. Today I was walking with the boys and they were arguing over what the purist form of heavy metal was. I almost died of happiness.

    I would like your house even though I don’t love heavy metal. I just love awesome kids.
