On cheeks

During dinner, Eddie told Papa "You love me!"

"Yes," Papa agreed.

"And I have little cheeks!" Eddie continued.

"Huh?"

"My cheeks are little!"

Ozymandias

So Eddie is always asking me to tell him a story "about a human being." I have to really cudgel my brains to come up with something these days. So during dinner, when a story was demanded, I told him about Ozymandias, a king who had a huge statue of himself built, and wrote on the bottom "I am Ozymandias, king of kings: look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!" But then time went on, the desert overtook the land, the statue crumbled apart, yada yada, and just the pedestal was left.
Then when people saw it, they were like "What works? Pfft, Ozymandias was pretty silly."

Eddie didn't buy it. "Why were the words still there?" he asked.

"Just the pedestal was left", I said.

"If the whole statue crumbled away, why were the words still there?"

Well, that's a pretty good question, now that you mention it!

Eddie's pirate book

Eddie just wrote a pirate book.


"Eddie's Pirate Book." You can find all the letters if you look—it's like a treasure hunt!
Here we see lots of treasure, with a net to catch it. Pirate Eddie (with a skull and crossbones hat) and Pirate Papa will share the treasure.
Pirate Papa is in a boat on the waves, as Pirate Eddie stands by. On the right, up above, we see a chicken thinking about pecking. Then we have a man with thoughts in his brain. He is thinking about treasure.
