Johnny lying on his snow "bed"
Watching Mike make lunch:
Johnny: When I’m a Dada, I won’t know how to cook. Just like how Mamas don’t know how to juggle.
Discussing the future:
Lily: When I grow up, I want to be nothing.
Johnny: When I grow up, I want to have big teeth.
Johnny: We should name our baby Puzza. That’s a cool name!
Lily: No, it’s not.
Johnny: At my next birthday party, I don’t want any grown-ups. Because with grown-ups it’s no fun.
Catching up at bedtime:
Mike: What did you like in kindergarten, today, Emma?
Emma: My math test.
MaryAnne is a craft loving educator, musician, photographer, and writer who lives in Silicon Valley with her husband Mike and their four children.
Love your kids’ quotes, especially the grown-ups not being at birthday parties. J is completely opposite. He always wants to invite his teachers.
Lily wants her teachers to come to her party this year…
Each of these quotes made me smile.
I wonder if Emma was the only person in her class that considered the maths test the highlight of her day. I would be tickled pink if one of my cherubs said that.
I love your kids’ quotes. It’s great that Emma likes math now!
I love these! When I was pregnant with Katherine, Caroline wanted to name her Hippo! Wouldn’t the world be a funny place if we let our big kids name the babies :) I needed a laugh today- these quotes were perfect!
LOVE Hippo! My brother apparently wanted to name me Train =)
Math TEST in K?! I walked into my daughters K class to volunteer the other day and they were having a test too and one little girl was crying, so traumatic!
Kids say the cutest things! I love the “our baby” and gender roles ; ) so great – reminds me of Family Circus. You are going to have something very similar to Family Circus soon!
Always makes me smile!
“My math test”…that trumps all!
Your quotes are always precious!
C loves math too. R likes writing.
I love their quotes, especially the one about naming the baby!
Even though the news from my parents is particularly difficult just now, I couldn’t help but smile seeing Johnny on his “bed.”
Puzza is a pretty cool name!
I’m glad he made you smile – that would make HIM smile!
We are all keeping you and your parents in our prayers.
Her math test? That is cute. Abby hates math right now, which is so sad. She’s making it harder than it needs to be.
LOL about naming the baby Puzza.
Hopefully Abby finds math fun soon. Emma hates her kindergarten homework…
Kids are so funny! My three-year-old wants to be the “blue man” from my son’s little league football team when he grows up.

Ha ha ha, it always cracks me up to hear kids theories about when they grow up.
Love it!
I can’t begin to explain how much happiness it brings me to hear that the thing that Emma liked the most that day was her math test.
Me, too, Mike! When I read that, I thought, “wow, this girl is going to go far!”
