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.
…picture of the tree:
A Break from Joseph
Joseph yells from the basement, “Maddie! Where are you going? Come back!!”
“I have to go potty,” she answers, appearing at the top of the stairs.
She sits down on a stool at the counter.
“I thought you had to go potty,” I say.
“No, I don’t. I just wanted to come upstairs.”
From the basement, Joseph calls out, “Come back when you’re done, okay??”
“Ok!” She yells back, then looks at me. “C’you get me a lil’ snack?”
Jobs
Joseph’s teacher gives the kids weekly jobs. This week he is weather person. I asked what the best job is.
“Messenger. Because if you see something boring on the schedule, like Shared Reading, you can take the note to the office and walk slowly with your best friend in the hall.”
Scones!
Me: Oooh, Mads–I know what we should make today: scones!!
Mads: Yeah!!!
Me: Do you know what scones are?
Mads: Ice cream!!!
Me: No, they’re like biscuits.
Mads: Biscuits?
Me: Biscuits.
Mads: Can we make both kinds?
My First Person
Me: Maddie, are you drawing people?
Mads: Yes!
Me: How exciting, your first people! Tell me about this one…I see the eyes…
Mads: It’s daddy. Those are his eyes.
Me: Wonderful! And these here, are they legs…and arms…?
Mads: Those are the hooves. I’m drawing my first person!
Pizza
J: Mom, I’m going to wash my hands so I can help with the pizza!
Me: It’s ok Joseph, I’ll just make it.
J: What, you don’t want a pizza made with LOVE and CARE??
Me: Alright, have at it.
J: Maddie, wash your hands and come on!
(Oh boy.)
Hear This
Joseph: Mom, why was the king a foot tall? (I don’t know, why?) He was a RULER!! Haahaha.
Joseph: You know what that is? (A joke?) It’s a PUM. (A pum?) Yep, a pum. (And what does that mean?) It means it can be used it two different ways.
Time For a New Car
Maddie says: Grandpa your new car is dirty. You have to get another one.
All Grown Up
Maddie: Mommy, what are these words?
Me: It says, My Little Bible.
Maddie: Who are these people?
Me: Those are children, and that guy there is Jesus.
Maddie: Hey! He growed up!
