Along those lines, Declan has created another dead song which includes things like trees being dead, houses being empty and falling apart, grass being so dead that it's just dirt, people and animals being dead and their blood going around and around the earth, and the earth exploding and sending all its parts to other planets. This basically leads me to ask you, people with boys: Is this normal? Because I'm thinking it's a bit macabre for a four year old (though I'm speaking solely of the lyrics, as his tunes are usually quite jubilant and cheerful).

Little lies
I think I've mentioned before how the boys are fascinated by teenagers and basically think they are the.coolest.thing.ever. The highest compliment they can receive at this point in their lives is that they look like teenagers. Declan was showing me how cool he looked today in his jeans and sweatshirt, rocking out to a Declan original song instead of doing the super important chore I had asked him to do. So I told him that if he really wanted to be like a teenager, he should do what I said because they *always* do what their moms and dads tell them. Logan piped up saying, "Yeah! Act like a teenager!" Of course, Declan in his stubborn individualistic way, told me he didn't actually want to be a teenager, he just wants to look like one. Somehow, he always finds some fine print.
