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

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?”

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.”

Pep Talk

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

Joseph

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.

(Broke elbow)

Tree

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

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

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.)
