Advent Time

Advent candles lit, Patrick asks: What are some ways you're preparing for Christmas?
Caroline: Eating chocolate?

Remember the Huh???

Caroline was asking us about the Northeast and the Southwest and where they are.

Caroline: And in the Southwest, remember the alamino!

MaShell: The alamino?? What's that?

Caroline: The amalino??

Patrick: Oh my god, she means the Alamo!

Madeline: Elmo??

Caroline: Yeah! That's it, Remember the Alamo!

I need a phone

Caroline: Mom, can I get a phone? I really need one.

Maureen: Me too.

Caroline: Maureen, you are not old enough.

MaShell: Why do you think you need a phone?

Caroline: Because the phones don't work at my school and what if you didn't give me my lunch or what about if it was a half-day and I needed to call you. What about that momma?

Obama or McCain??

On car ride home from Girls Scouts...

Caroline: Are you voting for Obama or John McCain?

Dad: John McCain.

C: I am voting for Obama.

Dad: Why?

C: Because

Dad: But why?

C: Just because…I am voting for Obama; I am voting for brown people.
