Christmas

A conversation the kids had in the car this afternoon

Elle: Alec,  did you know Christmas is celebrating Jesus' birthday?
Alec: oh...wow...it is? So...was he alive last year then?

Baseball

Sam, holding up a baseball: There was a mean guy on my dad's team who said "We don't want you on the team you're too small" then my dad showed him and conned this ball out of the park!

Staples

I just got in trouble with Elle for not telling my parents I stapled my finger, an event that took place 20 years ago.

Elle: There's always a reason to tell your parents EVERYTHING!!

Origami Stress

Sylvie, age 6: Oh, darn it! (origami related stress)
Max, age 10: Sylvie! Watch your language!
Sylvie: (very confused) This IS my language!
