CALEB: “Mom, you’re a lot smarter than you look.”
ME: “What?”
CALEB: “It means the way you look = not smart. The way you are = smart.”
JACK (5): “You have to be 16 to drive? Do you think they’d make an exception? I’m veewey we-wyable.”
ME: “Definitely (thankfully), no.”
CALEB: Who’s the funniest in this family?
JACK: The cat. Remember when she barfed?
CALEB, *laughing*: Barf! You’re right, it’s the cat.
SANTA: Have you done anything naughty this year?
JACK: Well, right now I’m talking to a stranger.
ME: “Don’t play with the blinds! They will break and Mom will get —?”
CALEB: “… Bored?”
JACK: “Mom, I’m going to tell you how dumb you are. You are zero dumb. You even know not to touch a dead mouse’s soft fur to your face.”
For the church play, Caleb asked if he could make his character more interesting by dressing as Electric Skeleton dressed as a shepherd.
CALEB: “From my observations, fatherhood will be the hardest job for me, but getting into an affordable college will be my nightmare.“
ME: “If you can’t get your own snow gear on, you can’t go outside.” 20 minutes of crying, but lo & behold, they all did it! #AwesomeMeanMom
