Mike, explaining bedtime from a night when he put all three kids to bed on his own:
Well, first we were talking about black widows and brown recluse spiders, but the kids thought that was too scary. So I told them about less-scary spiders, but they said, "Dad, this isn’t helping." So we talked about butterflies and they fell asleep.
Driving home from school:
Johnny: Emma, I think the girls in your class are all so pretty! But just the girls.
Emma: Maybe because the girls have fancier clothes than the boys.
Johnny: Yeah. The girls do look so fancy! But the girls are just so pretty!
Reflecting at bedtime:
Emma: I think sometimes when you be too fancy, you look kind of funny. Like the stepsisters in Cinderella.

Reading these really made me smile :)))
Oh my goodness! These are precious!!!
Emma’s got the solicitor phone call thing down, huh? ;)
Ah, these are cute! Emma is certainly right about the best time for junk-mail related phone calls…
When my middle son was about 6 weeks old we were visiting at my sister’s home and I had laid him on his blanket on the living room floor next to where I was sitting. We adults were chatting and my nephew, 4 years old at the time, laid down beside my son to look at and talk to him. A few moments later, I noticed my nephew had his toe in my son’s mouth and my son was sucking away on his toe! I frantically said, “Oh no honey, we can’t put toes in the baby’s mouth!” My nephew immediately removed his toe and said, “Yeah, cause the baby will get slobber all over me, right?” LOL
That’s hilarious!
The junk mail one made me laugh. :-)
They are so funny! LOL about “NEVER” being the best time to call.
So cute! Great to write them down!!!
I think I would sleep much better talking about butterflies, too. :)
I LOVE Emma’s response to the junk mail ;) she’s learning well…
