THE “WHATCHA BEEN UP TO?” EDITION

It’s been a few weeks since my last post, so by way of explanation, I offer my readership (all 3 of you) a glimpse into quotes from the recent past.

*****

Me: O, stop hitting your brother with your Thor hammer.

*****

O, observing his feet stacked on top of each other as we read before bed: this foot is kind of like a volcano. And this one is like lava.

*****

Dave, hastily removing the faux nunchaku and tossing them in the closet: no weapons unless you can use them responsibly, boys.

*****

O: I love frosting; it’s like a blanket. Except you don’t go through it.

*****

Me: so let me get this straight. Your dad made you a delicious filet mignon and you consumed it in order to… qualify for a post-dinner hot dog?

J: …yeah.

*****

Me: A, put that down! Your dump truck is NOT a weapon.

*****

Otherwise spending no less than thirty-five minutes at daycare pickup as I had already snagged J & O from school first and therefore brought them in to pick up the little bros. Literally every. single. boy. had to have a bowel movement during the pickup process, and one of them clogged the toilet with his over-zealous toilet paper tendencies. But fear not: the daycare director, upon realizing I was still there 30+ minutes after I originally said my hellos in the lobby, assured me it was not a big deal to clog the toilet. After all, she said, when A did it just last week and flooded the hallway, they had cleaned it up no problem, so this clogging solved with a simple plunge was truly no biggie.
