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
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.
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.”
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!!!
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.

Green Hackers
Annika, explaining… You know Maddie’s two favorite movies? Well one is with that girl and Tuk-Tuk. I forget what it’s called. And you know my teacher’s favorite? She loves the Green Hackers! (The Green Hackers?) Yes, she has everything even a plate. (A license plate?) No! A plate for lunch. (It’s a movie?) No, it’s a baseball team. She has a shirt and all kinds of things, she loves them. (Oh, the Green Bay Packers!) Yes! So if we pack our lunch we put our clip by that one—you know, ‘cause—packers… (Gotcha.)
