Time

Joseph (age 16): What time is “quarter to one?”

Madeline

Interesting design choice

Maddie (13): Mom, why does our garage have so many lines and dots?

Me: Um…that’s joint compound, honey. It covers where the drywall meets or where screws are (or in this case nails, because it’s built poorly)

Maddie: Ohhh! Thanks for explaining that to me. I’ve been wondering that a while.

Me: Sure thing, Mads

Joseph

Although obstinate would also work…

Me: Joseph, you’re being obstinate.

Joseph (aged 16): Isn’t that where you don’t have sex?

Me: That’s being abstinent.

Music

5/9/24
Joseph and I were talking about music. (Our tastes overlap in zero categories.) I said, “I just really hate country music.”
Quick as a whip, Annika pipes up, “What about city music?”

Annika

Bikinis

2/19/24

Maddie and I were looking at a bikini top on Target’s website. Noah says, “Ooh nice. Should I get a matching bikini?”

Quick as a whip, Annika pipes up, “That’d be a BIGkini!”

Annika

Clear That

Annika: “Give me a moment. I need to clear that from my mind.”

Clear what?

“Uh, you just pulled a hair out of your bra.”

Madeline

Pep Talk

Maddie, to Annika: I love that you started cleaning up your room. I just hate that you haven’t finished cleaning up.

One Long Class

Joseph had a morning dr appt and was thrilled to miss band. But then I told him what time it was…

What?! It’s only 9:10?! Band is a long class even when you are not in it!!!

Annika

Where the Counter Ends

Annika: I was on the counter but then I rolled over and there was no more counter so I landed on the floor.

(Broke elbow)

Annika

Tree

Think we should get a real one or a fake one?

A: A real one! I like watching it die.
