A Kid Named Casey

Casey rules!

Casey is her dog's name - but we use it as her name to keep her identity confidential! She is 3 years old. She's never had a
haircut. Her dad who's a house-husband thinks she's wired differently. When she was in her cradle she'd rob
her legs against each other so fast you'd think they'd catch fire.

"She is always hungry. She has 4 breakfasts - 1 per hour - after 2 breakfasts she says I am hungry again." her sister says.

Dad was looking for a coin - head or tails - head is ravioli for lunch, tail is macaroni - tail came - Casey: yey, I won... then she
realized she didn't and cried - then I took her on an aeroplane ride (carry her horizontally fast).

"Who were you talking to Raisin?" Casey asked with her sweetest kid accent. She has deafening screams and has a hard time
with potty-training.

Suggested to cut down her sugar and caffeine intake - dad: "she was born this way. she was like this before she could eat table
food". She loves chocolate milk."I am telling you she was born like that - she's wired differently". The doctor said give her chocolate milk ! the doctor also ignored
Dad's insight that she doesn't know she can voluntarily pee... After she went to bathroom she ran to me and excitedly said: "the pipi comed". Her bad grammar is
funny. In morning she said: I want shrill (in her kid accent "cereal". In the car she fell sleep and before the airport she woke up smiling - shining from health. We
kissed goodbye and she suddenly jumped up and embraced me.

Casey pooped in the park - no tissues around - Dad used a T-shirt - only liquid around was a cup of coffee - he took it and
woman said: "don't touch my cup" - then he remembered there was water in the car...... 

Once an old man said what a cute girl, come on sweetie. She ran to jump into his arms and it was too much for him - she was too strong - she knocked him into tha wall and made hole in the wall.

Once she knocked a kid down the stairs by heading her.

I said: is there a problem or are you just being annoying? She said just being annoying. 2 days off diapers  - Dad kept saying
let's go potty - she: no - then sure
enough she did it in her pants....

Kimmi lost a tooth and got $3 for it.

Casey broke Dad's $200 glasses. She celebrated by repeating: "chocolate, milkshake" over and over.

She is strong and kicks hard - and sometimes the wrong spot: "Casey's crying and I'm turning blue. 'get out of the house - go
relax' ...But he couldn't because he
couldn't walk."

The 3 year old, after a week of sleeping in the same bed as parents on travel could not handle being alone in her room - there
was revolution - she was terrified -
and parents sick of her wining - finally I went in and asked her what the problem is - she said "I am lonely"... I read her a story
and slept on her floor till she fell sleep.
She's so sweet in calling her sister: sisi and sis - she just woke up and called me: "raisin!"

--------------------------------

APR 2000
 The 3 year old is a ball of fire and energy. She asked me to stay there. "I can't..."

She poked her sister in the eye in a game and they went to hospital. "Warrior" - her name's meaning is female warrior - jumps in front of cars - no fear of
consequence... They speak their mind
- one told her grandmother: I smell something bad and I think it's you. Asked her about geography: 'Have you heard of Africa?'
"animals over there" the kid said.
Handing the 6 month old baby from one side of the table to the other between mom & dad, the kid fell in the spaghetti bowl!
Splash - mess everywhere. She left with
the kid - he stood there embarrassed: "can I have the bill?!" Being a house husband, what he can't handle is neighbor women
always complaining in their
conversations: it all sounds like a blur after a while - like ducks. But when the baby cried she called "mom!" not "dad!". She
jumps out of strollers.
--------------------------------

Casey says hello to Brianna & Abby and says that she misses them. She wants to show
them her sock - and another sock, and a baby (doll) and a flashing sword and some
cups.

She sends them a kiss and wants to send them an Aladdin video and - "a sock".

She's running out of things to send them!

See you.
:-)

He has 3 year old - like Casey, he is so attentive. I am amazed how Casey finds amazing ants, etc. "you see the world through
his eyes.... things at their eye level you
never get to see."
-------------------------------------------------
 
 

The other day she was making a lot of noise with the pots and pans in the kitchen - I turned around and saw that the garlic
roaster had broken and she put the glass
in her mouth!!!
-------------------------------------------------
 
 

Halloween night 2000 Casey came back with her "trick & treat" bag full of gum and chocolates of different kinds and started
eating. Around midnight she was
coughing and Mr. Mom went to her bed and stayed for a while - came back and heard her cry - she had puked all over
everything - he cleaned it up - was barely
falling sleep the phone rang - a drunk returning a call for buying a car! She woke up early and started slapping her mom.

Kimmi was out, mother worried - Casey went on porch repeating: "lost Kimmis" - then the dog ran out - and she repeated "lost
casies" - and dad showed up and she
repeated: "no lost daddy" and "no lost sisis".
-------------------------------------------------

Watching Mr. Mom, I am very appreciative for a mother's role - a corporate job is nothing in comparison to this. Thank you
mom.

After finishing vacuum cleaning Mr. Mom said: "God, it's 7:30 - it feels like noon!"

Casey sits about 10 inches from the TV.

"Mommy Mommy, like a Salami" Casey said.

Dad: I am so hungry I can eat a horse. Casey: I am so hungry I can eat Casey (the dog).

Dad: I don't know where people go around here to party - I have no life - I know where McDonald's is - where Chuckie
Cheese is - We love Chucky Cheese, don't
we Casey?
-------------------------------------------------
 

Baby sat them tonight. Put her to bed and read a story - she asked: "why are you the baby sitter?" I explained: because I love
you guys, I am old friend of daddy etc.
she: "if you love me, sleep with me". So I stayed there and she was so funny, she'd turn her head, catch me still awake - and
giggle and put her finger in my nose and
pop my nose out - I threatened to leave if she didn't stop talking to herself. Suddenly she took one turn and collapsed into
sleep.
-------------------------------------------------

After bathroom she announced to her mom: "I goed, I goed"

Casey was heavily bribed at the church service - with cereal and crackers - she ate non-stop - followed by juice. Then being
high on sugar she dug the bag for
more - "my cow" she shouted.  The priest was saying a story about his days in school, etc. Casey shouted: "God said not to
study" :-)
-------------------------------------------------

Casey (in the game of money called "life" - 8 year old Kimmi knows about trading real-state and stocks...): I want to be married
to mommy - dad, you marry Reza -
"basketballer".

She tried soy milk and spit it right back up - Daddy said "For 2 years I was covered by soy-puke (baby food)."

"what do you do mom?" I am an accountant - "what do you count?" I count money, buildings, etc.  - "mom, I count in school
too".

"who is Casey's favorite airplane?" - she said: Reza - and came and hugged my leg.

"Casey, please don't grow up" - she: 'but I want to grow up'.

Her sister had confession in Catholic School. Casey's first confession?!?!  "she'll be there for hours" dad said :-)

She loves in the most pure sense - comes and hugs your legs or jumps in your arms.

She is scared of the monsters in the forest, her mom said.

Nov 17, 2000 Casey got her first haircut.

X: you want lipstick Casey? (crazy glue :-)     [radio said a woman put nail glue in her eye instead of eye drop and glued her
eye - in hospital they de-glued her eye]

Eating ice-cream I asked for a bite (of the ice-cream) - she thought I am asking to be bit - and happily went for it and made me
run.

After lunch she was hollering in the kitchen - and concluded with a burp. I helped put her shoes on. She: I want my shoe first
then sock. I want sock on shoe - and
repeated "sock on shoe". I held took her on my arms out of love and pushed her and she made another sound (f).

She just does not listen: "No shouting at the dinner table"...
 

Today mom very appropriately called her the warrior Samurai!

Her dad had a story of his childhood: the cookie jar was above the fridge - when he was 4 he found a way to get to it by
crawling on the counter/stove - and once
he stepped on the hot burning stove and was in bed for months.

He's deliver paper at age 12 for $7 a week - once the bicycle breaks didn't work and he crashed into the wall and mud - and
le left everything and walked home -
and people were calling asking why their paper was not delivered. He was sent a bill - $30 - and he had to collect 75c a week
from people that added up to $37
and paid the bill and kept $7 for himself. He remembers seeing people shutting the curtain pretending they were not home when
he went to collect!

Mom: If your teacher burps in front of the class is it good manners or bad manners? Casey: "good manners".

She's a super-kid - tough - she ran and crashed her leg against the table - got right up and didn't even cry.

She has a counter-offer for everything.

Mom: do you know what kookoo means? you're making mom go kookoo.

Mom: If I can handle her I can handle any problem at work, any problem in my personal life, any problem I'll ever face.

She has a British accent - very unusual for a 100% American kid!

Very sweet - gives one a hug on the way out however small.

Going to bed is always bargaining time for more TV - mom: I let you watch this many minutes (10) - she: let me watch this
many (4)...

Dad: She's already had ice-cream - she can't have anything other than water and bread. A few minutes later she said: what
happened to the bread?

She calls all hotels Stattler - and dog bunker is "doggie statler".

Dad: Casey has had dinner and desert !
Mom: Kimmi needs her mama
Dad: who does Casey need?

Mom: Let me show you something (with Casey's eyes).
Dad: The only thing I want to see is pillow.

When Casey was younger she used to eat Crayons.

All the kids want to play with her.

She calls Curley fries "curly flies"

The kid down the street Daily moved away - a new kid came called Bailey - she calls him "the new Daily". Brianna across the
street is like "kleenex for tissue".
Angelica says: "what kind of Brianna is there" (meaning what kind of kid?)

When she is falling sleep in the car she says: “Don’t look at me”. She’s got a very long life-line.

She said Jesus is a baby.

Mom: Kiss Reza and Casie goodnight. I: Please kiss me first (and then the dog!)

Casey finally confessed how she threw the laptop on the floor: just brushed it off the couch with her hand.

She called herself: “Power necklace girl” and me “Airplane Reza”. She said she could not help but to touch the Christmas lights.

"Wizzy" (Dizzy)
"I died the batteries"
"Lelo" (for Yellow)
"susty" (thirsty)
"nakin" (napkin)
"benjtables" (vegetables)
 
 

She was crying - went to her room late night - no blanket on her - she was having bad dream. Put on a blanket on her - she
was upset in her sleep. I said: it's ok - it's ok Casey - then she got quiet.

Her favorite word is Popsicle!

She plays a fun game with dad where dad makes the dolls talk to Casey - "make her talk to me" she demands again...

A friend at school can't pronounce K's - so she says: Telli, you want a Tooti?

She spells everything as: P I S O Y

She thinks "someday" is a day of the week - so as "Fortsday"

I babysat her. She played basketball by throwing the ball in the dishwasher. We played game of her chasing my slippers (foot)
to open the velcro but she was unsuccessful. Read her book before sleep. She said she didn't like the fact that I take a shower
in her bath "it's ok to take shower in mommy's shower - this one is a bath". I promised not to repeat... it was refreshing to see
how she emptied her mind of the barrier to love.

She was scared of monsters that would come when she's sleeping. I assured her 1) they're not real - just in stories 2) you just
tell them to stay out and they do.
She slept 12 hours!
 

Babysat her again tonight. She calls me dad by accident - then she got a kick out of that herself and asked: "When are you
gonno marry my mommy?" - she doesn't know that I "drank my mother's pure milk" and would never cheat on my best friend -
specially a friend at whose house I ate "bread and salt"

She said: "I like you. I wanna play." - we played "catch the slipper" again - and she did it: managed to catch my foot AND with
one hand open the slipper's velcro - and I did not escape - and determination was admiring - and well-deserved.

She called me "sliding airplane" as I took her on ride inside her toybox.

She blessed me by saying: "I gotto call you Reza G-----  that means you're in the family - Reza G----- Airplane"
 

She spoke about her fear of dark - I explained to her... she: we can put a chair behind the door so the monster can't get it.

Everynight she sleeps with her dog - one night away from home she was yelling: casey, casey.

She threw crackers off the church balcony on people's head sitting below.

Dad said : head down, she dived in the parking lot.

In the morning she wasn't in her bed - she wasn't on the floor - where could she be? She was in the closet - sleeping there -
camping there on pillows.
 

Gave them no chocolate & strawberry syrup in their milk.

She put her finger in butter (it's fun)

In museum she said: Daddy why his penis is hord (hard).

===================================
Here are some of Casey's word I wrote on the spot:

"I want to call my mom so I can give her a kiss and a hug.

Dear Grandpa I love you - I hope you feel better - I want to give you a big hug - grandma please give grandpa a hug for my.
Then I want to write the name of my family: Mommy Casey daddy Kimmi Casey Reza. Can you write Santa? Because I love
Santa too. I write all the ones I love... and can you please write anti's name? And then write grandma Marj - and that's all. Can
you please do - and all the ones I don't know. Can we spend the whole day till it gets dark out? Until the day is all over - then I
can take a nap with Reza. I just sit next to you - then I go down the stairs -then I go up and down and up and down.

I hate Christmas because I don’t like to wear coat all the time.

I hate Xmas - I hate dumb Xmas because Santa Claus is a boy. Just because I play with you don't think I don't hate you. I hate
boys.

I am hungry and I am the boss. You are the bigger boss. I am the little boss. "

Bribed her w/ ice cream

I: It only comes in 1 color. She: but I only want 1 color.

Dad: I heard a tremendous crash. Found casey laying underneath the dishwasher and kicked the door up.

Dad: It’s punishment for me : to go out to eat – it’s either McDonald’s or Burger King – that’s all I can handle.

She loves punching people on the face.

Trying to find a good training for her: kong-fu? boxing? weight-lifting? She plays good harmonica.

Playing with the dog this morning she kept repeating: I’m bad – I’m bad – I’m bad. This makes us sad - self-fulfilling profecy.

"I didn't wake mommy up - she was gonna wake herself up on her own self - when I was gonna tell her something."

She's found her nack : Harmonica - and she plays it really well!

She's really good at punching and kicking.

She reported that Casey had stepped on her "gina" (vagina)

As part of nightly chore opened her door to let the dog out - casey was not there though I could hear her breath. As the dog
came off the bed I saw Casey was sleeping under the dog!

The dog licked her when she cried.

She had her sister just jump on her - like a trampoline - and asked her to do it again - and she jumped again and Casey farted.
 

She greeted me with : "Airplane Reza....."

She stood outside my door early this morning and greeted one with a lovely smile - in a state of smiling for minutes.

Dad: Don't poke my eyes - you only get 1 pair per lifetime. She: Santa Clause can bring more.

Jan 9, 2001 - first time a school friend of Casey's is coming over. Juliana. "I have a Micky room, you can come see my micky
room).

"Dad, I'm hungry" - let's go have some pretzels "I want something healthy" Casey said!

Sounds like slaughterhouse everynight putting her to sleep.

Dad begs her not to jump of him as he's resting on the floor.

$85 a well? I am willing to pay $1000 - for all day/all week nursery home.

"Get her a punching bag" 'I did - but they broke it!"
==================================================

She asked for "the head-up spinning kind" airplane ride.

how to spell piuta ?
how to spell piuta-can-sing

Walking around calling: airplane! airplane reza!

"yak! boy kiss" and she wiped it!

Why is the dog so excited

Computer is not a toy - go get a toy from your room - go get a doll and we listen to music. "I don't have no money".

"yak - boy germs" Casey said - earlier she was taking my concert guitar out of the case that her dad caught her.

I heard the funny/sad story of the godmother whose husband, 2 weeks before becoming godfather, was arrested for child molestation!!!

mom: you'll always be my baby right? Casey: "you can't pick me up!"
==========================

This morning she wanted spinning-head-down airplane ride (upside down hanging from her feet)

She slammed the garage door so hard the handle came off!

She spent a week with Grandma while dad finally took a well-deserved week off. "has she changed?" - no! 'wishful thinking!' :-)

===========================

Casey's got a runny nose. There was a story of a girl who had a favorite ant....  Dad asked Casey: who's your favorite any? Kelly said: Reza Airplane.

"it was like a dream"...
- you can wake up though...
===================================
snip

Missing you all greatly, specially the kids, specially my favorite passenger....
 

===================================
 

Dad: Casey, there's an airplane on the phone!
Dad: I was reading your website....she's come a long way...

===========================
Casey like her mom and dad loves music. Her dad is specially gifted musically. She plays great guitar for a 3 year old. I hold and change chords while she strums. She loves Rudolph etc. - "louder" she yells. After the song she yells: "(we) do it again - again-again-again."

She loves punching - and she's pretty strong - playing - suddenly she almost knocked my teeth out.
================================
so good to be back at x' place - a holy place where children are growing...

the little tiger roared in bed and woke up as an angel, beautiful, shining, smiling, with an utterly quiet brain.

her first words were, "airplane" which she kept repeating as she slid down the stairs to eat the breakfast she had commanded her dad to prepare.

The bathtub was black - the day before she had painted herself black - including her teeth - and proudly reported it: "I made a black mustache"...

================================
I hope all is well with you. (Daddy) said he talked with you the other day. Casey
had to put together a building block as a project for school. It was a shoe box
that was covered in solid color paper. Attached was pictures of her family,
friends and loved ones. One of the pictures was you with Casey & x during
one of your visits to y. Casey still calls you her "airplane reza" and
Daddy's brother. Thought you would like to know that.

Hope this message finds you well.

===================================

"what if it's another Casey?"
- it's not possible

===================================
[Jan 5 02]
Casey had a splinter yesterday. She said I want Reza to take it out. Her mom explained to her that there's no way to get hold of Reza to come here this quickly...
[20 jan]: every person she sees with a guitar she said he looks like Reza, even if he's blond or has a beard...

====================================

Cabin crew, yellow door selectors on.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Rezaairplane. We like to wish you a pleasant flight.
To prepare for take off please fasten your seat belts and bring make sure your seat is in the upright position. In case of an emergency, an oxygen mask will drop. In case we have to land on water, wear the life vests which are under your seats.
Now that you have all the instructions are you ready?
I can't hear you - louder?
OK.
Oh, I forgot the most important question: Do you want to fly head-up-spinning, spinning-head-down, or running-flight?!?!?!?!

That's the coolest email address I've seen for a long time. <snip> And that's a good name for a band.
I hope K is doing lots of reading, neither - are watching much TV, and Casey is being nice to X and extra nice to the new sisi. I hope K will start learning an instrument seriously soon, or at least do some serious singing. Dancing is a lot of fun too! I hope the - are being virtuous about eating sugar, candy, and junk food.

Well, time for take off. Hope you have a nice flight. Don't worry, we at RezaAirplane screen our passengers very carefully and do not allow any fanatics to even come near - except if they're a Beatles-Fan(attic) !!!

Love, hugs, and kisses (yes, lots of boy-germs too Casey. Ha Ha)

Reza

PS - .
PSS - I am glad xx has joined ancient history (Let Mr. Pekins know :-)
PSSS -

Good luck

and x looks beautiful in the picture too
and y too, and I'm glad to have her as a new passenger...

Casey is having her little sisi lick the bottom of her shoes !!

 “what happened in that room?” Casey: Me and x opened the drawer and threw the stuff out 144 times.

=======================

I got it!  Little sisi is so tough  because she has  had to survive Casey :-)) -- survival of the fittest :-) -- little sisi's stomach is as solid as a boxer, and she stands like Bush or Wayne ready to pull a gun.

Casey  just realized that you are not coming today...boy is she mad...(disapointed). 12 JAN 2006

good talk w/ daddio

I’ve never heard of you being sick. I won’t tell the girls. They think you’re going to live forever. When you talk to them about healthy eating habits, etc., they think: oh my god, reza’s never going to die.

thank you for calling xxx -- we can't take your call because either we can't find the phone of (sisi) is on the phone...

[written by Casey:]

I am now 9 years old.  My favorite color is lime green.  It rocks!!!!! 

Purple and lime green. My three best friends are lilly, Taylor, and Julie.  Lilly and Taylor are in my class.  Julie is my neighbor .  I’ve known her for 5 years. [I’ve changed their names for privacy].

5 Aug 07

Casey sent me an email for first time !

written full of joy. these kids are psychologically perfect. it's only pressures and stresses and complexities of ways of society that turn them unhappy. Today a kid at the lake came up and asked where he can buy pot. I was playing guitar - maybe he linked that to pot. I said why do you need that? He: to get high, to get happy. I said we already have happiness, just stop doing that which makes it go away. And that i hate cigs and smoke........

Umm..Actually i quitplaying glockenspeil because i was just to busy with sports and school but just last night was the 6th 7th and 8th graade science fair and i won!!! I'm in 6th grade and i was up against 8th graders.... i was in the top 5! 

Talked with casey about being kind to her little sisi and not hitting her with a soccer ball in the head etc. – poor little sisi is rightfully afraid of casey’s ball – casey teases her but there’s no guarantee that it’s just a tease because from time to time the ball flies to poor little sisi. Little sisi is so wise – I asked her to clean her room and she’s doing it now “let’s see you put all those dolls in their right place”.
