Daniel is making...something. Either a CCG or a new MonsterManual, I'm not sure. This is all him - I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. :-)

Daniel's having one of his turns again. Wild rages, wild laughter, wild behavior. This is after a week of being mean to his sister and generally pessimistic about everything.

I'm not disabling comments - I don't mind them - but this is more for tracking than anything else. I really need to keep better records about these mood swings. I'm thinking we need to at least see the pediatrician and possibly a child psychiatrist. Given my own mental health issues as well as my family history, it's not unreasonable to think that he could be depressive or bipolar...although I thought that onset in children is rare. Still, this seems an emotional reaction beyond normal for his age group. I thought we were doing better, I really did.

He freaked out completely - tears, screaming, a full blown tantrum that would put any two-year-old to shame...over having to turn off the TV to pick up Dave (we're down to one car - long story). So he's (and we're) officially TV-free (and movie-free) for the weekend; we'll see if that helps.

I'm so tired.

Daniel said he didn't like onions, and I was trying to figure out what exactly he didn't like about them.

"They're just intense," he said.

"What does intense mean, exactly?" I said.

"Intense means there's a feeling pushing hard against the whole place."

He understands it better than I thought. Not that that should be any surprise, really.

Daniel, pre-breakfast-making: Do you want to turn into a serpent?

Me: *boggle* Umm...why do you ask?

Daniel: Because there's this potion that I made that can turn you into a serpent.

(pause)

Now, you'll have an extra head, but don't worry, eventually you'll have just one head, and you'll be a serpent.

Me: Is the second head a serpent head, or a regular human head like mine?

Daniel: It's a serpent head. It's the head you need to become the serpent. Your first head will go away after you grow the second head, but that's normal. And if you see a gray pimple on your neck, that's just the second head growing in.

Me: How do I change back into a human?

Daniel: Just go up to the surface and you'll change back. Do you know where your gills will be? On your neck. If a human were to turn into a serpent, their gills would be on their neck.

I blame the fourth Harry Potter movie. Somehow.
