Edward has an imaginary super hero called "Number 2 Edward." He's had him since, well, he was 2, I think.
Stuart came home tonight and saw a group of bricks in the middle of the yard, one of which had "pain" written on it in chalk.
Curious, he asked Edward about it.
"Oh, that's Number 2 Edward's first wife's gravestone. She died," he told him importantly.
Stifling a laugh or two, Stuart asked why the word "pain" was on the stone....was that her name? A description of her?
"No. That's how she died. In a lot of pain," Edward answered matter-of-factly.
Phew....had us worried about his concept of marriage.

While eating dinner this evening, Stuart was quizzing us on "True or False" facts from a daily calendar he has.
Wanting to join in the game, Edward asked Emily, "Who built the Eiffel Tower in Paris?"
Emily laughed. "I don't know. Mr. Eiffel?"
"Well, he has a first name. Do you know his whole name?"
She said she didn't. "So what was his name?" she asked.
"I don't know. That's why I asked. I really wanted to know," Edward said, sighing.
