July Top Ten (Top Eight)

8- Ethan was telling Brian how he knew that Mom and Dad are really the Easter Bunny. When Brian asked him about Santa Ethan said that he was real. Then Brian asked him about the tooth fairy. His response, “I’m still working on that.”

7- Logan hates getting stuff stuck in his teeth. When he does he cries and tells me his tongue hurts. It took me the longest time to realize that it wasn’t his tongue that hurt. It was that he couldn’t get that darn food out of his teeth.

6- The kids were crying when we told them we sold our house and were moving. They were so upset. I felt bad and quietly suggested to Brian that we do something fun to cheer them up (I was thinking rent a movie or eat some ice cream). Ryen heard me and being the opportunist that she is she decided to milk this for what it was worth. Pretty soon she and Ethan were trying to get expensive stuff out of us. Ryen wanted to go to the movie theatre and Ethan wanted us to buy him a $20 bionicle.

5- Ryen told Logan the he was a bad boy. I told her that she shouldn’t tell people that. Then Logan said, “Yeah that’s a bad word.”

4- Ethan said to Brian, “Dad, don’t you dare make Mom mad. She’s gonna bust you.”

3- Brian pointed out a homeless man on the side of the road. To which Jocelyn responded, “He gots to find a home that nobody lives in. He can live in our home.”

2- At dinner time Brian was talking about nothing in particular. Logan told him, “You’re talking like a man.” We laughed and Brian said, “I am a man.” “You’re a tall man,” Logan responded.

1- At Wal-Mart Jocelyn wandered off as she frequently does. I grabbed her and asked her, “What did I say about staying by me?” “Uh,” she said concentrating. “Stay by you forever?”
Sure that’ll work.
