Once Again, The Things They Say.

With spring break coming to a close as T and M get on the school bus tomorrow morning, last week's days off were filled with fun, adventure (some call that exhaustion), two birthdays and of course, funny things the kids had to say.

Sometimes I just can't resist sharing.

From T, on the possibility of hosting H's playgroup friends at our house:

"Can I play outside if they come over? I really don't feel like being a role model. "

On M, always thinking of the newest family contests:

"Let's have a contest and see who can go the longest without eating."

"Then you won't have to buy as many groceries."

From H's little lips after I told him that Lightning McQueen doesn't have accidents in his underwear:

"Lightning McQueen doesn't wear underwear because he doesn't have a butt and he doesn't go potty."

T, being especially kind on my birthday:

"We're going to get a coffee." I said as we loaded into the van.

"Ugh." M sighed.

T jumped right in and said, "It is her birthday!"

H, learning to express his frustration and irritation, in the right context and all as J accidently spilled some water on him.

"Gosh Darn-it! Mama, daddy got me wet!!!"

And my favorite one this past week, in the car, T offers to recite the second half of the Old Testament books in the Bible.

"Why don't you recite all of the Old Testament?" J asked.

"I don't know those ones. My book doesn't have them."
