Oh Sam

You won't believe this quote.  How he learned it, I have no idea.  (Well, perhaps I do, as I know his sisters very well.)

We were in the grocery store, and as I perused something on the shelf, he said, "Look Mommy!  Cheetos!"  And he proceeded to put the bag in the cart. 

I said, "No, Bud.  We're not buying Cheetos.  Please put those back." 

As he took the bag back to the shelf he lamented, "Ohhhh Mahhhhm.  You bwoke my hawrt."

Damn cute, I tell you.

Jane's future blog?

Jane's been practicing her writing in one of those preschool activities books where you can trace letters, etc.  She was so proud of herself when she copied the word astronaut.  Brett said, "Jane you're getting pretty good at writing your letters.  Next thing you know, you'll have your own blog!"

To which she replied, "DAD!  I'M ONLY FOUR!!!!"

Okay.  So maybe when you're six.

So Sam was asking anatomy questions while on the changing table.   As we walked downstairs he was holding Big Bird and asked,
Sam:  "Big Bird's penis?"
Mom:  "I don't know?  Maybe it's hiding underneath all those feathers."
Mom to herself:  "Poor Big Bird."

So after talking our ear off in the car tonight with 1001 questions, Charlotte quickly paused, thought a minute mili-second and said, "Oh, now I'm going to switch to another series of questions."

Yes.  We laughed out loud.

So this time, it's me!! Well, actually, it's a funny bumper sticker I saw today that made me laugh OUTLOUD!! It was on a totally P.O.S., old-model BMW, that was dark gray and hadn't had a waxing-job in decades. 

The bumper sticker read:             

                     DRIVE IT LIKE

                     YOU STOLE IT

I was right, huh?  Funny.

I will totally adopt this mantra as I cruise around UP in my Honday Odyssey.

Kiehl Quote of the Day

So this is Jane, our 4 1/2 year old. To say she can be hysterical, is an understatement. If you spend any time at all with her, you can attest to that. She's also such a sweetie and is always trying to help others. The other day in the car I asked her, "Jane, when you grow up, can I live with you?" She replied, in a nice voice, "No." "No?" I said. "I can't live with you when you grow up?" In the sweetest, most matter-of-fact voice she said, "No. But you can still be my mother!"


Okay Jane. I will be.

Charlotte:  "So Dad?  Will you still pay for my college if I go to Wazzu?"

Brett:  "Sure.  If you don't get in anywhere else."

Kiehl Quote of the day

Mind you, she's only "almost 8", and as Brett will say when reading this, "she is your daughter", however, you have to admit she is well trained. 
"I only like to get purses from two places.  Coach and the Dollar Store."
When good taste clashes with your innate obsession with finding the best deal.
