Merry Christmas!!

Who's Rob?

So, today, while we were in the car, we were discussing about how it would be hard to see if air was colored, and Aaron said, "Well, it be good, because burglars couldn't rob a bank." and then said, "What's a burglar?" and Dad explained that a burglar is someone who robs things, and Ginny replied "Oh. Who's Rob?"

Dinner Time Advice

The kids were having a kids only dinner tonight, while the grown-ups were relaxing in the living room. Here's a snippet of their conversation that left me in tears of laughter...

Alli (being all grown up): Ginny, you need to finish your food.
Ginny (being 4 and ornery): Why? You're not the boss of me.
Alli (being reasonable): Well, you don't have to, but it's good advice.
Ginny (being inquisitive): What's advice?
Alli (being helpful): It's a suggestion; something that is a good idea.
Ginny (being logical): Well, Alli, here's my advice. Go to timeout!
Aaron (piping up): Worst advice *ever*!!

Socks

So, this morning, I overheard Ginny talking to Dad about what she wanted for breakfast, when out of the blue, Ginny said, "Dad, I love you.....But I don't have any socks."
Which is odd, because Ginny DOES have socks.
Tons, in fact.

Mom Can Make Anything

Ginny was pretending to whistle and blow on a flute yesterday... After awhile, it must have gotten old not actually *having* a flute, because Ginny asks, "Mom, can you knit me a flute? You can make anything!"
