Daylight Savings

Evan keeps old electronics after they don't work. He stores dead laptops in the closet until I throw them out. He still has his old cell phone, because he never lets it out of his sight - he brings both into the bathroom while he showers so I don't mess with them. I think he keeps the old one mainly because he has some good Wizard of Waverly Place episodes with his voice dubbed over recorded.

This was fine until daylight savings. Then his old phone wouldn't update but the new phone did.

I changed the bathroom and stove clocks on Sunday morning to the new time. On Monday morning, he changed them back to the old time to match his old phone. He was an hour early to work.

Evan handed me a printed picture of a battery powered clock. He said he needs a new one. I was confused because the one he has now still worked. He explained that he needs a new one because his old alarm clock matches the time on his old phone (which doesn't have a cellphone plan and doesn't get updated for daylight savings). So he needs a new clock for his new phone now that the time changed.

It is cold

It is 28 degrees outside.

B: Evan, it is cold. Where is your jacket?

E: I wore it yesterday.

Plans for May

With Evan's return to Boston, his introduction has been altered to the following:

I am from Florida. Brigham is from Argentina.

I am free in March and April. But I am busy in May.

I am going to see Justin Bieber May 10. I am going to see Gomez May 28. I am going to the dentist May 13.

A shotgun sound like this

Walking to the car, Evan says, I have shotgun.

I make shotgun noises.

Evan says, I like that sound.

When has he heard that sound?

Enough gifts

B: Here are your birthday presents.
E: What else?

# Girls at the Temple

Evan: How many girls are coming to the temple tonight?

Me: 12. (I have no idea).

Evan: Oh, that's too many.

Me: Ok, then 11.

Evan: That's good.

No longer strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints

Our Elders Quorum President announced that the next two Sundays would be a combined service with the other two wards. He said, we will have strangers in our meetings. Evan speaks up, No, not strangers. Mormons.

Evan's Lists

Evan is a list-maker. He has his Christmas lists, his birthday lists, and now his blessing lists.

In the same conversation where he mentioned what he wants for Christmas he mentioned the things he wants for his New Years Father's Blessing.
