Archer and Shelly come running into the room, Archer says to me, "She's going to tell on me!" Archer, you're telling on her that she's going to tell on you? Both of you go play nice.
Shelly was at a sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa and Archer said to David, "I have no one to play with!" What did we hear? "I have no one to fight with!" Sigh. They play nice usually. But there's the fair share of fighting too.
One or both say "I'm hungry!" five minutes after we finished eating a meal. What do the parents hear? "Its been five minutes since I told you I don't like the choices, dropped crumbs all over the floor and spilled juice on my clothes. Can I do it again please?"
Shelly finished eating a piece of bread and some peanuts for lunch (this was all she would eat, I tried offering her things like turkey but she refused). She then came to me and said, "I'm still hungry." I looked around and saw some tomatoes sitting on the counter, "Do you want a tomato?" "I don't LIKE potatoes!" And now she says, "What does T O H L spell?" She's been listening to her brother to much, list random letters and expect it to spell a word.
Shelly told me to watch her ballerina dance and started counting down from 10, when she got to 8 she switched from shouting the numbers to singing "la la la" in a high-pitched delicate voice and started gracefully swirling around the kitchen. What a perfectly lady-like little flower...
We don't want to leave anyone out... I was changing Elijah's diaper and said to him, "Honey this smells TOXIC!" I was rewarded with a nice big smile. I guess the diaper wasn't so bad. :-)
