Pillow Monster

I tried to teach Oli today some basic architectural principles, but the pillow monster got him.



He seems to really like tunnels, so after he got bored of the tunnel we made with the sofa cushions, we moved on to building a castle. This is a picture of it:



"See Oli, these two pillows are the walls. This one is the roof. This may look like it's about to fall on its side, but look! this side pillow over here is what we call the buttress. It's resisting the lateral forces from the roof!"




He played under it for a little bit, but then seemed more interested in my ID card again. He then declared he wanted to climb the coffee table and pretend he was sandwich while taking a nap. I don't blame him. Architecture is boring.

Tia Carmen, all I want now is just to be a cute kid. Please wait until I get to high school, then I will know what I want to be! Maybe then, I will be an engineer like my parents!
