Lillie Kills Us All

So Aiden just came in and noticed that Lillie had left the TV on. This prompted him to start ranting about how she "always" does this, so I said, "Yep. And then we all DIED." So he responded, "Well, we might! She leave the TV on, you guys have to pay a higher utility bill, we can't buy groceries, and WE STARVE TO DEATH, AND IT'S HER FAULT!"

Figurative Nursery Rhymes

Reagan, while reading a book of nursery rhymes, "You know, they never say Humpty Dumpty is an egg. I think it's probably figurative." 🤔 Good call, monkey!

You Get What You Asked For

Someone on an Army wife FB page today asked for some snarky ideas. Apparently there was a typo in an email her husband got from some big-wig in his unit. They are having a "family fun day" or something, and he asked that everyone "bring a desert" as their contribution. Not a dessert. A desert. So this woman was asking for ideas about what to bring.

Most people suggested some kind of desert-themed dessert. Cupcakes topped with crushed graham crackers and whatnot. Aiden, however, said, "Bring a jar of dirt. Maybe throw some rocks in there. He asked for a *desert* so that's what you should bring." That snark is strong with this one.

What...?

We are at the dentist. My kids are so excited. Who are they? Where did they come from? What happened here? 

Octopus don't have fingers though...

After watching a video of an octopus escape a boat through a tiny hole, Reagan decided to narrate what was going on. "Guys, I gotta get out of here. I'm late for my mani-pedi with my friend Tommy!"

No Such Thing As Normal

While we were out and about today the kids were acting more goofy than usual. When I asked Aiden why on earth he was being so weird he said, "Hanging out with normal people wrecks my vibe." That explains a lot.

Try, Try in Rage

Aiden was struggling with his coding quiz today, most likely because his brain was already exhausted from his math assignment, so he went back and re-did it and got 100%. I told him I was proud of him for trying so hard, and his response was, "My perseverance is powered by anger." Whatever gets you through the day, little man.
