Hallie:
*"Mom, when I have kids, I am going to name the girls Junior Bow, Junior Heart, and Junior Star. I am going to name the boys Ryder, Taggert, and Asher."
*One day at dinner: "Mom, why don't you want another baby?"
Me: "I do, but not right now."
Hals: "Because it is hard work?"
Me: "Yes, it is hard work."
Hals: "Well why do you do hard work for us?"
A few minutes later:
"Mom, does Heavenly Father make babies?"
Me: "Yes"
Hallie; "Is that ALL he does??"
*Me: "Hallie do you feel sick?" (We were having bouts of sickness at our house)
Hals: "Not necessarily".
Me: "Do you know what that means?"
Hals: "No. What does it mean?"
*After I was singing (quite loudly and off key I might add) while getting the kids ready for bed: "Okay, mom, Okay. That's enough. That's making my head hurt."
Jace:
*Hallie to Jace: "What do you say for giving me a headache?" (after Jace had been screaming)
Jace: "Thank you for giving you a headache."
*"Mom, we get to go trick-or-treating?"
Me: "Yes, but not for a few weeks"
Jace: "And we get candies?!"
Me: "Yep"
Jace: "Ohhhhhh, that's very nice. That's very nice."
Similarly,
* (After I got home from doing a supervision for a family who recently adopted)
Jace: Did you get to see the babies?
Me: Yes, I saw the baby!
Jace: (whispering): "Ohhhhh, that's sooooo nice."
*One night Jace was whining unrelentingly that he wanted medicine (why he thinks having medicine is a privilege, I have no idea), so when he wouldn't quit, I finally went into the kitchen and got him a teaspoon with water in it. I was certain I was quite clever and that would do the trick since he usually gets medicine off the teaspoon. Not two second after he drank it, he said, "that's not medicine! That's water!" Not so tricky.
*Me: "Jace, how do you know that I love you?"
Jace: "I just remember, Mommy!"
I have a few hilarious ones from Jace that are not so appropriate for the interweb, so I won't post them. He will thank me later. :)
