From the little perspective
What's for Dinner? Hopefully not beef!
Here are some funny quotes that I actually took the time to write down:
Seth: (staring at the hamburger helper on his plate) "Is this yucky stuff all you have?"
During the same meal, Carolyn said, "I don't like meat." Rob told her that is was just like the meat in hamburgers and she liked those (not really). She said, "I haven't taste hamboogers before." (grumpy voice)
[I don't normally make it, but we had a box on the food shelves the babies had pretty much mutilated, so I had to eat it before they tore the thing apart.]
We had pasta bake with garlic bread a few weeks ago, and I had put parsley on the bread slices. Carolyn said annoyedly, "Why is there salad on my bread?!" (My mom who was in town for the night wondered with her...why did Mommy put salad on ALL the bread. The reason...b/c this mommy is too lazy to make 4 different versions of the same meal. They can pick whatever it is off or out!)
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Seth often expresses concern that he doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. (Everytime I point out that he has a long time to decide. It's ok if he doesn't know what he wants to do now.) The most recent time, he said, "Everything I can think of I want to be I need a van or a car." (to get to work! no kidding! I guess he doesn't realize he will learn to drive one day!)
The time before that when he was talking about it, Carolyn said (in her normal grumpy voice), "I don't want to do ANYTHING when I grow up!" (which is pretty appropriate b/c she doesn't do ANYTHING now either!) We suggested a few things, like being a mother, that she could do for her 'job'. She didn't want to do any of those. She didn't even want to be a princess (Seth's suggestion). She finally said she likes to draw. Rob said, "Then you want to be an artist." She said, "I wish I could be an artist but I don't know anything." (Ah, a moment of humility! Record this...b/c it doesn't happen often!)
What's in a name?
"My name is Carolyn Bailey. My 2nd name is pink. My 3rd name is purple. My next name is red."
