They Keep Us Laughing

There is not much regard for privacy of a mom. A closed bathroom door is an invitation to knock and ask for things, or tell (not so) urgent needs.

A while back I was in the bathroom and heard the kids charge in the house loudly calling for me. They hunted me down and found the closed door. (You can run, but you can't hide.) Normally I don't even let them stand outside the door and talk to me while I'm in the bathroom, but they said Buddy the dog had something that looked like a deer leg in the yard. I told them to leave it alone and I would check it in a little bit.

A minute or two ticked by and into the house they came running again. This time the bathroom door opened just enough to allow room for a kid's arm to shoot through, dangling a deer leg. "See?!"

I repeat. There is not much regard for a mom's privacy.

Micah and I were loading the dishwasher and as he closed it he said, "Oh, I forgot to put soap in there." I asked, " Do you ever turn on the dishwasher with no soap in it?"
"Sometimes I do."

Niiiice. That explains why some loads are crustier than others.

We've been reading through 1 and 2 Kings during school time. Felicity heard me read "God raised up so-and-so as the king." She asked, " Does that mean he raised them from the dead?"

Cassie: Why is it called Jumpstart Preschool when you don't jump?

Micah, asking about large wall map ,"Why do we have to have this big map up here? Is it to cover up the dirty spots on the wall?"

Cassie:
A long long time ago before I was born I  was just air. I was a cloud, then God made me.

Cassie: I like the clumps of butter on my biscuit, but I like them better in my mouth.

Micah: "I know how to spell "onesie". A  '1'and a 'Z'."
~~~
Cassie, "Do girl lizards have eyelashes?"

Camie was getting the "when I was a kid" talk from me. I said we didn't even have internet, we just played painting games or space games on the computer. "You mean back when they had car horns you squeezed and they went "kaDOOOga?" She was serious.

Cassie says

"I don't know how to fold my clothes and put them in the dresser. I just know how to cramble them in there."

"Micah says we can live a hundred miles."
