The Dictionary of Cedrus


As babies often do, the squishiest member of the Bukhari-Fink Family is a bit difficult to understand at times. Fortunately, we have compiled a dictionary of Cedrusisms and their respective meanings in his mind, just for clarification... DISCLAIMER: Many of these terms are outdated and have been corrected. However, who wants to get rid of comic relief!

The Dictionary of Cedrus

N. An ancient civilization located in the middle of the United States.

Amoeba
(A - moh - bee - ah)
N. A microscoping squishy organism, not unlike the Cedrus himself.

Wuxin
(Wux - in)
N. The Ren Xue name for the five most essential qualities of the heart. (No, it is not a town in Northern Indiana...probably)

Shut Up

N/V/A. Stop talking/be silent/go away/stop looking at me/different topic/throwaway comment/final word/battle cry/... etc.

Green-Green
(Green-green)
N. A cucumber. Not to be confused with beet greens, mixed greens, green apples, green pears, green grass, etc.

Car-Car
(Car-car)
N. A stylish car. The sort of car that Cedrus would ride in, looking all cool in his sunglasses while a trail of followers ran behind him...

Thank you to Auntie Fudge for those last three!

I apologize for the odd color/formatting issues! Blogger hasn't quite reached the 21st Century yet...

List will be updated as more Cedrusisms occur and/or are remembered!

    Actually, Toothless, I meant to check on how you did the color/formatting. It looks awesome! I wanted to ask how you format that way because I cannot add any formatting - not even basics like bold, italics, and underline in my replies.

    Also, Toothless, I have appropriately changed my name to match my photo! Where is your photo when Toothless is the most photogenic creature on earth?!

      I believe that as a reply, you do not have access to formatting options, because you are just replying. If you are writing the blog, you have a thick chunky bar at the top filled with all sorts of formatting!

      Whatever do you mean? My profile picture has *ahem* always been Toothless. You must need...er...glasses.

    PS. I believe Car-Car was reserved for calling out cars that were particularly attractive to the Count!

Cedrus Wet The Bed

Cedrus Wet The Bed.  This is what Steve announced at the breakfast table yesterday.  No, Steve was not eating breakfast at that time but the rest of us were.  Therefore, he apparently has no issues with bringing up such topics while the rest of us are trying to enjoy our breakfast. Steve does not eat breakfast these days because...well, I think he can't bear to see our faces first thing in the morning.  Or maybe it has something to do with intermittent fasting which he claims is good for you.  I've heard it too but only from people I've decided I don't need to listen to anymore - which is not to say that intermittent fasting is a bad thing.  All I am trying to say is I have no NO clue.  Anyway, back to Cedrus wetting the bed.  Steve starts work early these days and Kestrel, Cedrus and I eat breakfast together.   So this was big news because Steve actually emerged from the office to tell this to us.  We all looked at Cedrus. He was...

Fall 2020 Classes

 Kids no longer bring bags and bags full of projects they did at school.  It was a lot of work to sort through everything but also really fun to review and save memorable projects.  I still haven't completely sorted through the stuff from kindergarten!  What I liked about the mounds of schoolwork stuff was the way I could track what boys were up to.  With homeschooling almost everything is online and it is hard to capture the feel of the year.   Before we get too far into the school year I want to capture what boys are up to this fall.  (If you intend to continue reading this blog post, some of the more interesting stuff is at the bottom.) Kestrel Classes Social Studies: A History of US: 1855 – 1900 With a focus on primary source analysis, critical thinking, and interactive web tools, students will explore the story of America from the Civil War to the divisive class, race, gender and economic struggles of the developing United States at the a...

Today I had a happy time in the park this morning! Running with slow Walk Human. So many smells. Delicious odors of coyote poop. No leash. Left the park through the top exit that I'd never smelled or seen before. Met Cusco Friend. Cusco Friend started out snarling and barking at me, which was scary, but he had his human on a leash so I just ran away and then came back and played at him until he started playing with me. He was good at wrapping his human up with the leash! Walk Human did blah blah with his human. She said they named him Cusco because they were in Cusco, Peru when they first saw his picture, I think? Something like that. Humans do too much blah blah, not enough playing. Walk Human gave me a new toy! It wobbles around and drops out treats. Sometimes I can get it spinning and it throws a bunch around. I can just barely get the top in my mouth to carry it around. See my first time playing. Even when it stops dropping treats, it is fun to play with. Yesterday Walk Human...
