Things kids say

The true reason I wanted this log was so that I had a place to record the jewels that often come out of my children's mouths.

Sarah Swinden is visiting with us today. There has been a great deal of giggling and general goofing going on. Sarah is 3.5 years older than Charlotte so has a *big* girls view on the world. Charlotte is doing her level best to be a good hostess and make Sarah feel at home. So....as Harald and I were hugging on the stairs, Charlotte said, "Ewww, mummy and daddy are falling in Monkey-Love"

In case you were wondering, we managed not to fall down the stairs as we laughed;-)

just a smidge

Harald and I were chatting with the cashier in the grocery store (and my children did not roll their eyes like I did when my mother did the same). During the course of this uproarious conversation, the cashier rhetorically asked if we were having fun. Simultaneously, we replied "oh...just a smidge"

Instead of pointing at me and yelling "Jinx-bag of chips" Harald asked "how big is a smidge, anyway?"

My reply, "just a little less than a smudge...kerning says so."

Sometimes I am not very good at hiding the geek within.
