What would animals say if they could talk?


What do you think that animals talk about?They probably say stuff like feed me or love me or "Scratch my ears, will ya?" Maybe they have organized behind our backs so that they have long distance communication. The local leaders would probably say: "Good work hiding your IQs, fellow animals! We still haven't found a way to tip over heavy garbage cans! Our undercover dog has not gained access to indoors to find the nearest television station and our undercover cat has not kidnapped anyone for a ransome yet! Keep up the good work!"

I love babies!

The Goodmans came to my house yesterday, and I just love my new cousin, Valor! She has an unbelievably subtle temper and barely ever cries. She just looks around when she's awake. I still love Valor's big sister, Winter, but babies are just so adorable! I have finished all of the Goodmans' gifts except for my Uncle Binky's gift- which is the Kleenex box cover.

My feisty pony, or, real men have horses!

To your right is my family pony, Sugar Cube. We keep her at my Great-Aunt Norma's House. When we first got her, her older brother, Mumble, was there too. We had to babysit him for at least a week. On the first day, They both ran out the pasture gate. The good thing was that the backyard gate was closed, and thus they couldn't go out in the streets and be roadkill. We finally coralled the ponies back into the pasture. We still have her currently, but the Flakes (the family who gave us Sugar) took Mumble back to their pasture.

I like crocheting!


Today, I finished the pair of baby booties I made for my new cousin, Valor. I also decided to finish a scarf that hasn't been finished for months for my Aunt Sacha. I'm making a tissue paper box cover for my Uncle Binky. Oh, and by the way, those pictures on the right do not show my pieces of work. Those are someone Else's. I'd take pictures of my work, but the digital camera at our house is currently out of batteries.

What is this world coming to?!?!


In a week, my cousins Winter and Valor are coming. I've been preparing for when it happens and have decided to make a story book for Winter. I am making baby booties for Valor. I decided to see if there was a baby booty pattern in the crochet book I use called Crocheting for Dummies. Believe it or not, there wasn't a single pattern in there! It's crazy!!


The top five things that people crochet are:



  1. afghans

  2. sweaters

  3. scarfs

  4. baby booties

  5. hats

That's okay, though because I just made up a pattern. It's more like a sock, though.

Kids say the darndest things

My parents want me and my brothers to grow up as doctors.
my brothers and I have no objection to this, but Atticus wants to have a part time job as a comedian. He kept on saying Canadian, but today, he finally stopped. However, adults can have that kind of problem too. My dad used to pronounce chimney like this: chim-el-y.

Z Z Z Z Z or- Is it any wonder I never get to sleep at 8:00 PM like everyone else?


See that clock on the right? That's only 2 hours later than the bedtime I've been having lately, and that includes this blog- don't worry- I'll still type down new posts for this blog. I do it for you viewers. I hope you enjoy it. Unfortunately, I haven't even found time to make my bed with my frantic schedules.
My eyes feel miserable and dry as I type.

It's HAPPENING!!!!!!!!



A few years ago, I promised my mom I would not become a teenager. Despite my best efforts, I think it's happening!


Top five ways
you know you're becoming a teenager
5. Your body automatically sulks whenever your mom asks you to do something. See picture
4. Cell phones look more appealing to you.
3. You constantly crave mexican and/or chinese food.
2. Despite speaking the same language, you and your mom have a failure to communicate. For example, you know how I typed about the 20Q toy on my previous post? Well, Atticus was trying to get the toy to guess itself. My mom was asking me "What is Atticus' question?" I said the "20 Questions machine". "No!" she said louder, " What is he trying to get it to guess?!" Raising my voice to her level, I said, "The 20 Questions machine!" Still raising her voice to the top of her lungs, she said, "No! What is he thinking about!" I said, "The 20 Questions machine!!!" That time, she finally got it.
1. Your mom starts asking you, "Did you take a shower?"

Once you think you've seen everything, think again!


I've seen many strange things, like on my vacation to Washington State, when, even though it was summer, it was cold enough to be hot cocoa season. But today, I have seen a debut in artficial intelligence! The 20 Questions game 2.0., the pocket game can guess just about anything but the number 2 and Barack Obama! It's so spooky that it even knows it.

Enough about me...







Sorry about that typo on the previous post. It looked like "me is Remington Benjamin Lee", didn't it? It was actually "My name is Remington Benjamin Lee", just that the "My na" part was to the left of the picture. Anyway, I haven't wrote about my brothers yet. Atticus, my 6-year-old brother, has very curly hair and is very sensitive. I typically get along with him, though.


Finnegan (my 3-year-old brother) is another story. He is very rude. He will ask us things at least 35 times and that's probably accurate. He beats us up a lot. He's threatened us so much, that I have been doing a straightjacket project (the project is in crochet and was going to be a sweater my size) and that's no joke! But he can be cute, sometimes.

The blog bang



My name is Remington Benjamin Lee. I am currently 11 years old. I have 2 brothers and no sisters. They are both younger than me. My first brother is 6 years old. My younger is 3. If you want to know the opinion of a kid my age with the know-how, you've come to the right place! For example, abortion: really wrong! Unreasonable taxes: wrong! Lowering driving age: Well, it should only be if they're smart! And that's a good thing for me! I have been waking up every day at about 6:45 A.M.- The bad thing about this is that I have to wait 3/4 an hour until my mom wakes up. It's a problem, a real problem. The reason of my advanced curriculum is that I'm home schooled. I play both the violin and the piano, but there are probably plenty of other kids out there that have that double-talent. Unlike the picture on the upper-right corner, I wear glasses. I just wanted to let you (yes, you the possible reader of this blog) know that so you won't get confused in later pictures.
