Holiday Spirit

My daughter has been singing holiday songs for a few weeks.  Her most recent song has a slight modification... "Deck the halls with chocolate syrup, fa la la la la, la la la la."

His Opinion

I said to my middle child last night, "Hey come here... I'd like to get your opinion on something."  And he says, "Did you say pinata???"

No Discretion

My daughter and I were sitting together recently, each of us enjoying a small snack.  She chimes in and says to me, "Mommy, you're getting a belly like [my teacher]."  (Who happens to be about eight months pregnant.)

I guess maybe I should do a bit less snacking.

Honesty

My middle child was very honest the other day.  My dad, who is well known throughout the family to lay in the floor and sleep, did indeed lay down in the floor with the intention of going to sleep.  The middle child witnessed this and said, "Granddad, please just don't snore too loud."

From my middle child

Randomly...

"Do you like pimentos?"

When Referring to Her Socks This Morning

"Mama, when I was smaller, these were bigger."

Attitude at the dinner table

(This is a not-so-cute quote, but one worth documenting.)

At dinner recently my husband was telling our oldest to stop talking so that he could eat.  Our youngest said to Daddy, without missing a beat and with a bit of attitude, "YOU'RE talking."

Oh dear.  I have two argumentative and defensive peas-in-a-pod.  Lord, please help me.  When they start plotting together against me, I hope somebody has my back.
