30. Tillie Tuesday July 13, 2021

It’s just another Tillie Tuesday,

I wish it were a snooze day,

But it’s my news day,

And just another Tillie Tuesday.

Tillie Tuesday, the After Reunion Afterglow edition

Tillie, not a fan of the morning meal

Me: Tillie, what’s your favorite breakfast?

Tillie: Um…lunch?

Tillie, eating breakfast anyway

After easily cracking the wide end of a hard boiled egg she tries the other end:

“You’re right! The ceiling is hard to crack!”

Tillie, on how to lose tablet privileges

“So, when are you going to make me breakfast? After I’m dead already?”

Tillie, in a conversation with her 15 year old nephew, Dylan

Dylan: The mountain lions come out in the summer looking for food.

Tillie: Oh yeah…the tourists. Because they are the meat.

Tillie, on using a pretend tablet as a calculator

Tillie made a pretend tablet out of her magnetic blocks. Then she asked us to give her some numbers to enter.

Me: 3 + 9

(She punches the squares)

Tillie: 12

Me: 14 + 12.

(She pauses and thinks for a moment.)

Tillie: It’s loading…

Tillie, on the myth of ownership

Tillie: The game is on Lily’s tablet.

Jeanne: Well, all tablets actually belong to the parents even if the children use them the most.

Tillie: We are all children of God, remember. So that means even you are a child, Mommy. Right?

Tillie, on what you learn from your older cousins

Tillie: Daddy, let’s take a selfie!

Me: What?

Tillie: It’s golden hour!

Tillie, on goodbyes are hard

“Since I said goodbye to Emmit I don’t feel very well.”

And, finally,

Tillie, On summing up the Family Reunion

“Exclusively fantastic!”
