Funny Conversations

I guess I will share a couple of our funny conversations.

Hanna: "Mom, can we buy a treat while we are at Wal-Mart."
Mom: "No."
Hanna: "Why not?"
Mom: "Because"
Hanna: "Because cannot be the subject of a sentence. It is only a connector word. You should never start a sentence with because."

I am glad she is learning something in 3rd grade.


The other night our family went out to get ice cream. As we were standing there giving the nice lady our order, Lucy is jumping up and down, "I have to go to the bathroom, right now." So I took her and while we were in the bathroom, I said, "Lucy, you should have gone before we left." Lucy said, "But, Mom, I didn't have to go before we left."

What can you say to that?


At the ice cream shop, they have Kid Dips. They have a rectangle ice cream on a stick. The kids get to pick what flavor it is dipped in and one topping to put on. Imagine these delicious choices my kids made:
Hanna - ice cream dipped in banana (like Magic Shell) with gummy bears on top
Lucy - ice cream dipped in root beer (like Magic Shell) with pop rocks on top


Two words that every toddler/youngest child in the family should know: mine and move
Carly learned these two words this week. Whenever anyone is in her bubble, she pushes them and tells them to move. And she makes it clear when she has something that is "mine."
