Stewart, on being sick (with a totally long-suffering look on his face): "Mama, I hope I get better before I turn six." (FYI, not until July)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Stewart & Paige were reading Calvin & Hobbes when I heard this:
"No, Paige, that is a boy. Boys have eyelashes. See, I have eyelashes." [looks deep into her eyes]
Yes, you do have great eyelashes, buddy. --------------------------------------------------------------
Paige was in the car, looking at a movie we borrowed from the library... the same movie I'd told her three times not to look at because when she was "looking" earlier the disk fell out of the case...
me: Paige, I told you not to look at that movie any more. Put it on the seat I sit in when Daddy drives right now.
[Paige sticks out her tongue, bangs the DVD case on the seat next to her three times, then chucks it in the general direction of the front passenger seat]
me: Paige Marie! That is not okay! You may not do that. That movie is from the library, and if you break it, we will have to give them one of our movies.
** I realize that the library will not actually take one of our movies in exchange for a broken DVD, but if we have to replace it, that will mean we won't be able to buy one of the movies we'd like to, so in effect we're "giving" them one of our movies, right? Okay, peeps, I was trying to explain fines to a three-year-old, give me a break **
--Fifteen minutes later--
Paige: Mama, I wish Parker or Stewart would break a movie from the library, and then they would have to give the library one of their fingers.
Wow. and Yikes. Do you think she got the general idea, or do I have to explain it again?

oh my gosh!!!! you have the funniest life in the world! i love it! . . . and i'm REALLY excited to be a part of it again really soon!
Somehow kids do understand things, even though they get some weird ideas. I remember (because I saw it in cartoons) thinking that if you got shot in the rear end it wouldn't really hurt you. How goofy is that?
Yes, I'm afraid your oldest son is a clone of our oldest son. What's a mom to do? And taking a finger? Gotta love the reasoning power of kids. Thanks for the great Friday morning chuckle!
These are so awesome!!!
Maybe Parker will become the cereal sheriff like his dad. :D
Your kids crack me up! Missed you today, but these stories keep me entertained!
I think morbidity starts young...lol!
