Overheard

EMMA: I didn't know how to do that a year ago.
ME: Yep, the older you get, the more you know. Think how much you'll know by the time you're a mommy!
EMMA: Or when I'm a teenager!

Left to her own devices

Sophie thought today would be a good day to dump all of the laundry room bins on the floor.

Caught in the act.

Whatever. Check out that tummy.

ANDREW (to his friend): There are lots of hot chicks in my class but none of them are my girlfriend.

GINGER and ME (in the other room): What?!


A few seconds later we heard Ethan talking about how he has a girlfriend. Hmmm. Time to have a talk?

UPDATE: On the way home from our friends' house, we had a talk about calling girls "hot chicks," and Ethan got silent for a second before asking, "Does that mean you heard everything?" Yes. It does.

ANDREW: Do you know why it's good to eat ice cream when you're sick? Because you get all the taste and the flavor and then when you throw up you don't keep any of the sugar.

Yes, I have a wonderful wife.
