The other day, I walked into a room to find Jim scolding Jimmy while the girls were standing by.  Becky saw me come in and said, “Mama, your face says: ‘OK guys, let’s talk about this.’”

Jimmy, playing with the toy kitchen: “Me cook, Mama.”

Me: “What are you cooking?”

Jimmy: “Meat.  Raw meat.”

Me, to the girls: “Time to go down and work on our workbooks!”

Becky: “I can’t walk. You have to carry me.”

Me: “Why?”

Becky: “I can only walk downstairs if we don’t work on our workbooks and we just eat popcorn.”

The kids and I drove by a large tent set up in a neighbor’s yard, and I started wondering out loud what the tent would be used for.

Me: “Maybe they’re using that tent for a wedding.”

Susie: “Or a party.”

Becky: “Or a fair.”

Susie: “Or a meeting.”

Jimmy: “Or…POOP!!”  Then he cackled maniacally.

Me: “Remember guys, you can only write on paper.”

Susie: “If you live in a paper house, you can write on everything.”
