"How can you run around on that gravel in your bare feet?" -Me
"I"m a hobbit!" -Max
"Cats don't say No! They only say meow!" -Mira
"(singing) All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth... (repeated 8 times or more)" -Mira
"Well at least we don't have to worry about a Christmas present for you, since you already got it."-Garry
(deer in the headlights look) "What!!?? No!! that was only a song! I don't want teeth for Christmas, am I really only going to get teeth?" -Mira
"Mom! Look at this bee on my shirt!"-Harrison (walks into the house petting the biggest bumblebee I've ever seen)
"ummm no! Take the bee back outside, don't bring that in the house." -Me
"But mom look it's a nice a bee!" -Harrison
"Look what followed me home. Can I keep it?" -Harrison referring to a baby killdeer that actually did follow him home, we took the baby back to his very upset mother and then had to do it again the next day when we found the bird back in our garage. And again a third time when he found another bird and let it go in the house 5 minutes before I had to go to work. Poor thing had to stay locked in Harrison's room till we got home from school and had to find it. Anyway, it's funny how you can read that line in a comic strip or in a joke, but never actually believe it's going to come out of your children's mouths....but there it does, just like the "Mom she's touching me or the are we there yet?" that actually happens in the car. And in fact happens so much that the kids now have to have assigned seats in the car if I'm going anywhere with them.
After spending an hour convincing the kids to come help put Christmas lights on the house this is the question I get asked the next day.
"Hey mom? Can we go play on the roof?" --Harrison and Max
"Ummm...NO!!"---Me
