*Addie bumped her head on the cabinet door and got a goose egg*
"Mama, I got a bump on my head. It really hurts. I think I've got a concussion!
Addie- Mama, remember the 'larry dogs'?
Me- The what?
Addie- The 'larry dogs', that we saw in the field.
Me- Oh, the prairie dogs!
Addie- Oh, yeah. Pennie called them that.
Pennie- No, I didn't!
Nathaniel- I don't feel very good. I have a headache and I feel dizzy.
Me- I'm sorry, Bud. Have a snack.
Later...
Nathaniel- I think I know what was wrong with me earlier. I was driving a really small car earlier (on his video game) and doing a bunch of turns.
Me- ...
Nathaniel- I think it made me dizzy. I'm not even kidding!
Addie- Julie can stand by herself! I'm about to have happy tears.
Me- What happened to your leg?
Pennie- I dunno, something.
Me- What happened, Pennie? Does it hurt?
Pennie- It's a long story...
Me- Are you okay, Lillie?
Lillie- Yeah.
Me- What are you doing? (she was staring into space)
Lillie- Thinking.
Me- Thinking about what?
Lillie- School.
Me- What about school?
Lillie- Math. I need to get faster.
*Justin helped Pennie fix her bandaids on her leg*
Pennie- Hmmm. Not too shabby.
Nathaniel- You know what the biggest news in hockey is right now?
Me- What?
Nathaniel- Joe Thorton shaved his beard. The biggest news in hockey is that a 41 year old SHAVED HIS BEARD! (Outraged because he misses real hockey news)
Me- Haha, okay.
Nathaniel- It is pretty shocking though. (normal voice)
*Gabrie fell out of a tree and got the wind knocked out of her*
Addie, telling us what happened- She got knocked out of the wind!
Gabrie- Not having lunch messes up my schedule.
Me- Your schedule for what?
Gabrie- My eating schedule.
Lillie, writing the date on her schoolwork- It's the 18th right?
Me- Yes.
Lillie- And is it still the 2020?
Me- Yes.
Lillie- Geez, when is the 2020 gonna be done?! (I think we're all wondering that.)
Me- Will you get Julie a onesie, please?
Lillie- Yeah.
Addie- Why?! IS SHE ONE NOW??
Pennie- I don't get why Julie is sucking on me.
Pennie, crying about not getting to watch TV.
Justin- You should just have your own show. Call it "The Pennie Jean Show".
Pennie stops crying and says- How about "The Snack Show"?
Pennie- Mama, can you tuck me in?
Me- Daddy just tucked you. How many tucks do you need?
Pennie- ummmm... 60?
Pennie says "nikedown" instead of "Nightgown" and "usic" instead of "music".
*One morning the girls played outside right after breakfast. It was beautiful out, sunny and only 68 degrees. The girls though it was freezing and dressed in full winter gear*
Pennie- It feels like snow out here! Cold is not my best. Warm is my best!
Pennie- I'm not a killer, I'm a toddler!
*Headed out of Midland to visit family in Arkansas, stopped at a red light*
Pennie- Oh no! We're in traffic!
*Driving through Wichita Falls, I'm guessing she saw a billboard*
Lillie- I just saw George Washington! He was orange.
Gabrie- That was President Trump.
Addie- Daddy, you have to choose. Would you rather be eaten by an alligator? OR be eaten by a bear?
Justin- Are those my only options??
