Nathaniel needed a new hockey jersey and he had outgrown his old Oilers one, so he wanted a new one like it. He and Justin looked online one night while I was out with Gabrie and Lillie and when I came home they told me they ordered one. Nathaniel showed me the one and I asked what size they ordered. After looking at measurements, and comparing it with his last Oilers jersey, I told him it probably would be too small. He and Justin argued for a minute about whose fault it was...
Dude: you never should've trusted me me with this!
Me to Nathaniel: You're getting leaves all in my house!
Pennie: Daddy bought this house!
Dude watching TV: How did he just pull his shoe lace undone so fast?
Justin: It probably wasn't double knotted... most adults don't double knot their shoes.
Dude: (embarrassed) Ohh...
Justin: That's how I know you're still young!
Addie eating cheese dip: This stuff is changing my life!
Addie: Can I walk around with Juliette when I'm 10?
Me: Juliette will be FIVE then! She won't need you to hold her.
Pennie: Your heart is in your tummy right?
Dude: No, it's in your chest.
Pennie: No, it's in your tummy.
Dude: Alexa, where is your heart?
Alexa: I don't have a body.
Dude: Alexa, where is MY heart.
Alexa: I found an article that may help you. *Reads us a paragraph about hearts*
Pennie: Ohhh.
Gabrie: Wait a minute! (Runs to the kitchen and comes back with a ruler). That's way too close!
Gabrie: Does this sentence have direct "quotients"? (Quotations)
Pennie: Alexa, call the cops.
Me and all the other kids: NOOOOO!
Addie: Pennie, are you gonna live with Mama and Daddy forever?
*Pennie nods*
Addie: Me too.
Pennie: Cause they're our parents. Right, Addie?
Addie eating chicken soup: Mama, could I just eat the chicken?
Me: No, eat all of it.
Addie: Please? I don't like it.
Me: Nope, you have to eat it all.
A few seconds later....
Addie: ugh, I'm a vegetarian now!
Me: You just asked if you could just eat the chicken...
Nathaniel telling a story about how he failed at making lunch.
Lillie interrupted him, trying to tell it herself.
Nathaniel: Lillie, stop interrupting me.
Lillie: What, you're a bad story teller.
Pennie: Why would they make that cake? It has glass in it. And if people eat glass, they'll swallow it and their heart will stop beating. Right, mama?
Pennie: Hey tickle monster! I need a drink. Pause!
Okay, unpause.
Pennie: Wait, is that cottage cheese? I love cottage cheese! It's a kind of yogurt I like.
*Singing rock a bye baby to Juliette*
Lillie: Down below baby cradle and all.
Nathaniel: It's down will go baby, cradle and all.
Lillie: When the bell breaks the baby will fall.
Nathaniel: It's when the bell rings!
Me: It's when the bow breaks.
Sometimes I make a list of chores for the kids to do before they can play a video game. This particular time they each had three to complete.
Me: Let's see who can get all three done first!
Kids running off to complete them: Yeah!
*And then there's Penelope*
Pennie: Nah...
Pennie: I heard the door ding bell.
Pennie: Why are babies so cute?
I was telling Nathaniel about our upcoming schedule for hockey and co-op.
Dude: The Tuesday after Monday? *laughs* I mean the Tuesday after practice.
Also this month, Pennie used the word "edible" correctly.
