Summer Memorial

I'm already missing our fantastic summer activities!


It's the 3 months of constant nagchatter that kills me. And I quote:

"Mom? Can I light stuff on fire?"

"Mom? Is George Washington still alive?"

"Mom? Can you just cut my hair a little longer?"

"Mom? Do bears really eat poorage?"

"Mom? If I hit Shiney right now, can I still have my ice cream?"

"Mom? Will a pink eraser take nail polish off the carpet?"

"Mom? Did Old McDonalds have a french fry?"

"Mom? When is my popcorn tree going to grow? Cuz it's been a long time since I planted my popcorn seeds."

"Mom? Was my head this big when I was born?"

"Mom? Did we used to live in an apartment or in a condom?"

"Mom? Will the toaster roast my marshmallows? Cuz they're not popping back up."

"Mom? If we pretend to be good, can we invite our friends over?"

"Mom?" *in tears* "Was my fish stick REALLY Nemo?" *big brother laughs*
...
Back to School Silence is BLISS.

And those quotes are a HUGE reason why I want kids. While silence must be nice, adults just can't think of questions like those. ;) You gotta love it!
