What would you hear if you were a fly on our wall?
Last night as I'm reading through next week's religion lessons and A6 is memorizing the American Girl catalog:
A6: Why are these dolls so expensive?
Mom: I don't know. (trying to ignore her)
A6: I wish they were cheap.
Mom: I know. (still trying to ignore her)
A6: (silently pondering)
Mom: (thinking maybe she'll leave me alone now)
A6: I KNOW!!! I'll ask Santa for an American Girl doll. Then we won't have to pay for it! That's a great idea! I can ask him for everything I want.
This morning at 5:30 a.m. a cute little blonde boy silently tip-toed into my room, creeped into my bed, leaned over me and whispered into my ear, "Mom, when are we going to make blueberry pies again?"
Then, at 6:30 a.m. I turned on the heat for the first time this season, and I set off the fire detectors. Guess the rest of the kids aren't sleeping in after all.
