Victor-isms...I thought we were done



Victor really feels music as showcased in these scenes from the life of Victor:

(While listening to Yo-Yo Ma play The Swan): I feel like I have a flower in my head because that song is so beautiful.

Isaac was listening to Schindler's List, played by Itzhak Perlman. Victor was sitting close by and started to sob, real tears and all. He came over for a hug and continued to sob. He finally asked, "Do people die in this song?"

Listening to Schindler's List

While listening to Mars from The Planets, Victor observed, "This song sounds angry."

So, if you know 80,150 languages, would you be bilingual-all?

Victor: Mom, do you mind if I give you a little advice?
(The advice he gave wasn't all it was cracked up to be)
********************

Me: What was your Bible story about today?
Victor: There was this little boy and he had 2 Swedish fish and 5 loafs of bread.

Victor wants a tree house designed after the Magic Tree House stories which are his current favorite. Some of his ideas are just not possible (ie. I want it to spin in circles) and I told him so.
Victor: Why?
Me: Because some things are just impossible.
Victor: Well, the impossible things are just for PopPop to do.

Mom, you're the best loser I know.

Mom, look what I found! It's a piece of the moon that fell off of the earth!

Questions from Victor:
What if our house were made of pockets?
How would you collect all the M and Ms in the world?
What would happen if your hand walked to the bathroom?

And they come, rapid fire, all day long.

  1. I had never listened to The Swan, so I looked up a Youtube video of Yoyo playing it and.... wow! Victor has impeccable taste in classical music! Has he listened to Barber´s Adagio?

    1. I'm not sure. We'll have to see. Thanks for the suggestion.
