While Ryan and I were discussing various favorite music from the 90s, Mark piped in and said, "You know, I'm the best thing that happened to the 90s!" Oh WOW!!! He must get his humility from his father!!!

Marina was playing with her plush kitty beanie baby, when suddenly she informed me, "Kitty is licking her coo-coo...just like Lacey do!" Yes, people, 'coo-coo' is what we call it in this house. lol!

This one puts me over the edge! I sent Reese to school with lunch money the other day. (Mainly because I didn't have time to pack him a lunch). It was his first time purchasing 'hot lunch' at school, so I clearly prepared him for the situation, not wanting him to panic when he didn't find his lunchbox in his backpack that day. After school, I drilled him about lunchtime. "Reese, did you give your lunch money to your teacher?? Did you get hot lunch today?? Did someone help you?? What did you eat??" To which Reese replied, "I had chocolate milk." Hmmm.....chocolate milk. "What else did you have Reese??" "Nothing. Just chocolate milk." Instinctively, my motherly feathers were ruffled, and I wanted to know why in the world my child was not fed lunch! Before accusing the school, I asked Reese again and again, "Are you SURE you didn't eat anything?? Nobody gave you lunch?? You only had chocolate milk??" To which he gave me the same reply. Only chocolate milk. Hmmm.... So I called the school office and nearly chewed out the first unsuspecting lady that picked up. She transferred me to Reese's teacher, who assurred me that Reese HAD eaten an entire lunch that day. He had been given a choice between nachos and a cheese sandwich...and he'd chosen the cheese sandwich. Having been hasty in accusing the poor teachers, I quickly covered my embarassment by thanking this teacher and telling him I had been SURE Reese was misrepresenting the truth. (I know, I lied!) Phew! Hang up the phone....and go confront Reese. "Reese, are you sure you didn't eat lunch?? Not even a cheese sandwich??" Reese looked up and said, "Yeah, I had a cheese sandwich...and chocolate milk....AND applesauce." What?!? My goodness, child!!! I'd just been duped by a 6yr old!
