Quotable Quote #13

B-boo cracks me up! She has some serious issues when it comes to people not walking straight. It's hysterical to walk with her in a group of people because it drives her crazy to have people walking crooked in front of her. Sometimes, just to have fun, I'll purposely start walking at an angle, pushing her over a bit…and it drives her bonkers. She's a very organized teen (that's why she's been working with me all week!), even when it comes to something as simple as walking through a mall…or a store.

Take Costco, for instance. We were walking down the aisles today and I need to go left. So, I started to curve to the left; only she didn't like that. So we have the following conversation:

B-boo: "Mommmm, walk straight!"

Mom: "I am walking straight. I needed to turn left. I'm curving."

B-boo: "You're curve isn't straight! Your making a swurvy curve instead of a smooth curve."

I never knew there was such a thing as a swurvy curve. Ah…she makes me laugh…and that brings me joy.

For more joy, visit Good, True and Beautiful.

Quotable Quote #11

I was at a friend's home the other day, talking to her husband while she was out of the room. We were discussing her lack of the ability to say, "No," when her 4 year old son piped up,

"I know how to say no!"

His father replied that indeed, he was very good at saying, "no."

To prove it, the little man proudly showed us.

"NNNNOOOOOO!"

Yup, he's pretty good at it! Maybe he should give his mother some lessons!

Quotable Quote #9

B-boo and I were working on her final essay for her health today, when the Talented One started printing.

We waited.

And we waited.

Finally, she spoke up.

"What are you printing? A tree?"

Ya just gotta love her.

Quotable Quote #8

Random quotes from the past week (I'll let you guess who said what!):

"Mom, today is National Doughnut Day! We should go to Dunkin' Donuts or Krispey Kreme so they can sell us free doughnuts."

Friday night, we were playing Laser Tag and I had no pockets to put the van keys in, so I asked a certain someone to hold them for me. The reply?

"Mom, why don' t you just put them in the van?"

(Um…that would ruin the purpose of locking everything else in the van that we couldn't carry in.)

After a rather stressful day of dealing with some issues, a friend said it well,

"There should be a statue of limitations on how long a parent is allowed to mess up their children."
