Their Lunch Has the Power

Not even sure what my kids are doing with their lunches right now, but what I hear from the kitchen is this: Reagan- "I got a little of the juice!" Lillie- "What juice?" Aiden- "The juice with the power." Lillie- "What power?" Reagan- "The power of voodoo." I really love them a lot.

The Talbot Tribune

Reagan has been learning about newspapers for the past two weeks, and her final project was to get a newspaper and use clippings to show that she understands the different parts of a paper. When she was done gluing everything she needed to her posterboard, she and her siblings got a bit creative.

"Pisces: An unexpected change at work will cause anxiety. Feel threatened by what's going on."

"Cancer: Force unwanted change on someone you don't agree with."

"Say, would you Facebook?" "Would I!" "I'm a ton of friends!" "That sounds kind to me." "You go! See? Only tell me that!"

"Get out of your yard so hunters can find you!"

"Thinking of getting a new family."

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!"
