Time for Cuddles
Joseph climbed into my lap and said, “Even a Joseph on a mission has to stop for some cuddles!”
When I Grow Up
Me: Maddie, what do you think you might want to be when you grow up?
Maddie: A mommy. Like you.
Me: Really? That’d be great. Do you think it’s easy or hard to be a mommy?
Maddie: Hard.
Me: What will you do when you’re a mommy?
Maddie: I’ll do like you do and make dinner…for my little girl like you make dinner for me.
Whiskers
Me: Maddie, what did you do with grandpa this morning?
Maddie: Grandpa shaved off his wood sticks. Daddy has wood sticks too–coming out of his face.
Tooth Concerns
Me: Oh, my tooth hurts.
Maddie (hesitantly): Do you want me to kiss it?
Me: Thanks, Mads, but maybe you could kiss my cheek instead.
Maddie (relieved): ok.
(Later that day.)
Noah: Mommy got her tooth pulled.
Maddie: Does she still have a tongue? She needs her teeth to eat with!
(She came home afraid to approach me but very interested to see the pulled tooth, which of course I brought home to show the kids. I’ll spare you the photo of that!)
Eyebrow Troubles
M: “This hat makes my eyebrows sweaty.”
My Neck
J: “Hey! My neck is in control of my head!”
Lunch Bag Backup
Me: Joseph, I can’t find your lunch bag. Will this be okay?
J: Well. It is weird. But it’ll be fine, mom.
Shhhh.
J: What’s this say?
Me: It’s for a silent auction. Yet another school fundraiser.
J: An auction where you aren’t allowed to talk??
A Time to Disobey
J: Mom! The leprechaun left green footprints and green pee in the toilet and stickers and…THIS! A fruit roll-up!!! Can I have it now? (6am)
Me: No. What? No.
J: Mom–pleeeeeaaaase. I always obey you. But now, I’m going to have to disobey you. I really want it, so the time has come–the time, for me–for me to disobey. (Ba-ba-buuuhhhh) I’m gonna do it. I’m going to–disobey! And you can’t stop me.
Tree Painting
Joseph, why did you paint the tree?
I just wanted to add a little color to nature.
