Here are some comments from Violet about her brother over the past year or so. Clearly she has some mixed feelings:
- (Graham) is going to grow up, get married and have lots of children.
- I was really patient when you were feeding Graham.
- I don’t like your singing, but Graham does.
- I’m proud when Graham cries.
- I said to Graham, “It’s ok buddy boy” and he liked it.
- I DON”T want to share Daddy with Graham
- (singing) Graham is ham when he is squished by a caaaaaar!
- But I WANT to squish Graham. I want to squish Graham ALL DAY!!!
- Graham’s obsessed with spinning.
- If Graham puked on mommy’s shoe then my thought is that I think that Graham is sick.
- Graham’s crying because he’s hungry. I know a lot about Graham. I’m an expert.
- after kicking Graham and being asked “What were you thinking?” Answer: “I was thinking of kicking Graham.”
- Someday when Graham gets older we can break him and make him into another thing. Like a desk. Or a vanity. Or a chair.
- Graham was giving the kids a concert. A wedgie concert.
- to Graham, “Shut up and kiss me.”
- (singing) Graham, Graham, stay with me. I know that you’re cute. Graham-ity Graham-ity stay with me. I know that you’re cute. Staaay home.
- Graham, if you don’t come with me right now I’m going to pick you up by your head and carry you around.
- Graham is just a big bowl of yogurt.
- after playing “chase” with Graham, “I’m SO glad he can walk now.”
(As noted on her Twitter page)








Life is like a box of chocolates? Screw that. Graham is just a big bowl of yogurt.
How in the heck do you keep a straight face?
I love all of those, but my favorite is the one about breaking him and making him into something else. Clever little Violet, always repurposing
