Conversations with Children and Other silly occurences

Pics: Daddy's helpers; Jeriah "making a line"; and Eric's lates home improvement project, the tiled shower downstairs and our new paint job

Mommy and Clay

"What are you doing mommy?" (Clay)

"I am sweeping the floor."
"Oh, that's great! .. I am getting some water." (Clay)

Daddy and Jeriah and Mommy

Background: Jeriah had a nightmare about a bug, so he came in our bed for awhile. While I was in the bathroom, Eric was telling Jeriah he just needed to "squish" the bug next time he saw it. He was telling him he could "squash them with his feet or run over them with his bike......."

Jeriah lays his head down and says, "Daddy, I wanna go to sleep now" (In other words, 'be quiet and go to sleep, daddy. It is not time to ride bikes.')....

...............................

I come back in the room to lay down and Jeriah is taking up most of my spot, so I say,

"Jeriah, how about you scooch over that way more and 'squish' your daddy instead of me."

Jeriah is quiet for a second and then responds, "Daddy is a bug?"...(pause from Jeriah and laughter from me)..."I dont want to 'squish' daddy."

Things in Odd Places

1. Calculator in fridge (Clayton, a couple yrs ago)
2. Liquid sweetener in dishwasher (Jeriah, a couple days ago). I searched for this one for about 10 or 15 minutes before I found it!
