Caroline, age 9, said she wants to read, "How To Kill A Mockingbird."

Dine and Dash

At the end of dinner:
Maddie, age 4, "Can we leave now?"
Me: "No, we have to pay the check."
Maddie: "So... We don't just sneak out?"

Higher Ed

Eight-year old Caroline to 5-year old Maureen:
"Kindergarten doesn't really prepare you for first grade."

Who Are You?

Maureen to Patrick: I didn't know that was you. I thought it was someone who looks just like you.

So Weird!

Maureen to Patrick: My berfday is in February and I was BORN in February. That is SO weird!

Meet My Husband!

Maureen: Mom, look, this is my husband! [Proudly shows me a rectangular-shaped rock that fits in her hand.]

MaShell: Wow, really??

Maureen: Yeah. His name is Gravelin....I mean Rocklin because well, he likes to ROCK MAN!!

Later....Maureen was in the bathtub.

Caroline: Maureen, is that your husband IN THE BATH WITH YOU??? AND HE'S UNDER YOUR BOTTOM?? AND YOU TOOTED ON HIM??

The next morning, Maureen woke up crying. I sat on her bed to see what was wrong and when I sat down, put my hand onto the bed, right onto her husband. She had slept on the 2 in rock all night!

Will You Share That Recipe?

Maureen: Mom, when I get bigger, will you share that recipe with me?

MaShell: Yeah, sure. Why do you want it?

Maureen: Well, when I get bigger I wanna make banana bread for my kids cause it's so good.

MaShell: How many kids do you think you'll have?

Maureen: Oh, a brother and a sister and a big brother and a big sister and a little sister and a little brother.

MaShell: Wow, 6 kids!

Maureen: Yeah, and I will be SO old.

MaShell: Where will I be?

Maureen: Oh, you will be dead. I will be old and you will be dead. You will Mom, for real.
