Me, seeing the girls sitting in the corner talking to each other: “What are you girls doing over there?”
Susie: “We’re just having a little conversation. That doesn’t mean that you can interrupt what we’re doing.”
******
Me: “What’s the most important rule of this house?”
(I expected them to answer something along the lines of obeying Mom and Dad, or honoring God…)
Susie: “Never wake up your brothers!”
******
Jimmy: “I can’t talk. I have too many hiccups in my tummy.”
******
Me, prompting Jimmy to help me remember my grocery list on the way to the store: “What do we need again at the grocery store?”
Jimmy: “Apples?”
Me: “Yup.”
Jimmy: “Eggs?”
Me: “Yup.”
Jimmy: “Pancakes?”
Me: “Um, no.”
Jimmy: “Monkeys?”
Me: “Um…no.”

Susie, after I tucked her into bed: “Mom, what I need is a long winter’s nap.”
Well, the ‘don’t wake up your brothers’ rule IS very important !
Love Jimmy’s ideas for the grocery store!
Thanks for the smiles!
I could really go for a long winter’s nap too!! Love these!!
