where to start?

Me: "What's wrong with Aaron?"

Chris: "You want me to shrink your kid?"

Me: "Yes."

Chris: "I don't know where to start."

Henry answering the question he wishes was asked

Drew: "Henry, is this the best day on earth?"

Henry: "I don't care what planet we're on."

An Online Conversation

I HAD to have white chicken chili yesterday

so I took all of them to the store

which I keep vowing never to do again

they were so good

7:13 PM there was this family there at the same time

had the same # of kids

and the mom and dad were both there

all they did was yell and the kids were ALL over the place

this woman was openly scowling at them

meanwhile, my angels stood calmly by my side or sat quietly in their seats

she stood there and stared at us for a minute

it was neat

Rachel: good job boys!

7:14 PM me: she got a major kick out of Aaron because we were picking the ice cream and I was reading the flavors to Austen and Henner

and every time I said "fudge" Aaron would give her the thumbs up

so we got fudgeRachel: lol!!!!I love him!!!!

Austen washed and chopped a garbage bag sized load of rhubarb that was got from the Woods with me. He's been working the whole time. Now he's stirring the glaze for the rhubarb crunch we're making He had to stop and go pray for "kids who eat junk food and who's parents don't know that home made is best" Crazy kid. I didn't have the heart to tell him that with the amount of sugar in this recipe that it's probably junk food too.

Henner to Elizabeth

Henner to Elizabeth: "Yeah, you're cute but you're not smart and you're zero and you're beautiful"

Literature vs. Science

You may or may not have heard about our Edgar Allan Poe action figure (A souvenir from a March Meeting held in Baltimore) WELL... It was of late rediscovered. Henry has again been carrying the thing around. He was showing me some of the features and components to "Eggar" or "The Black Guy" when (Edgar wears black because as we all know, he was kind of a macabre character) I decided to ask him, finally, "Why do you like that toy?"
He replied, "I like him because he's black and he's Eggar and he's not the white guy."
The white guy?
Einstein.
Yes, we have an Einstein action figure too.
Literary Win
General Relativity FAIL! Take it.

too many brothers

I was holding Elizabeth yesterday and Henner kept saying "I like him a lot, do you like him too?"

I couldn't figure it out- him who??

WHO IS HIM? So I asked.

Elizabeth.

He still doesn't know that babies come in two genders.

Too many brothers.
