SV 21: Quotes

Let's see if I can remember a few of the things the kids said today...

Shelly: I'll be little stinker and you be the tackler.
Archer: No, I want to be little stinker!
Shelly: Ok, you be little stinker and I'll be big stinker.
This was followed by a brief wrestling match on my bed.

The child who is making the most noise (Archer) says: I can't take it anymore! She's being too noisy!

Archer: This car is going to the junkyard!
Shelly: WAAAHHH! NOOO!! Its not junk!
Archer: Too late, its already in the junkyard.

I stopped walking to look at something out the window.
Archer: Why did you stop? What are you looking at? What are you doing? Mom, what are you looking at? Mom! What are you doing?
Notice that there wasn't a pause between any of those questions for me to answer. He just keeps going, non-stop.

Shelly said no one wants to play with her, I told her to go ask her brother to play a game and he said the game he's playing is "only a one person game." She came back to me crying and I told her to go find her own "one person game" to play. So she went and announced it to her brother, "I'm going to play my own one person game!" Now they're playing together.

Archer: Mom, I saw an ant!
Me: Did you step on it?
Archer: No, I don't have any shoes on!
Me: Its really little and you're big.
Archer: But its red.
This conversation continues on in circles with Archer refusing to have anything to do with killing the ant and me trying to convince him it can't hurt him. At some point I'd like the kids to not be afraid of everything. Or have the kids be able to kill an ant on their own. I guess we're a little ways away from that yet.

Archer and Shelly: Mom, what are you making? What is it going to be? What's it called? What is it? Mom! What is it? Mom!! What are you doing!?
Me: I have a limit of 1,000 questions per day and you've reached the maximum.
Archer and Shelly: Why? What does that mean? Why why?
Me: No more questions!

Does God get tired of our questions? The same ones over and over? Does he close his eyes and shake his head and wonder when we'll just be quiet and trust him, wait for the answers to arrive in due time?
