Quote of the Day, part XLIV

Me, during Family Home Evening: "How can we repent of 'persecuting your brother'?"
William: "Pick me! I just barely did it!"

Jacob, when I showed him the twin coverlet I had purchased for his bed right before we moved:
"I like that. Whoa, wait! Are we really going to get beds that big?"
Me, thinking that this boy has been sleeping on a camping cot on the floor for entirely too long.
This move didn't come a day too early!

Misunderstanding

We were cleaning up the house yesterday and our neighbor was over visiting so she could hold Audrey.  Isaac came out with Michael's Mexican bull whip and said, "Don't worry, Mom.  I've got everything under control," then he pretended he was going to whip anyone not doing their jobs.
"Isaac.  That's not necessary, nice try though.  Go put that away." 
"I don't know where it goes.  Jake got it out."
"It goes in my closet."
My neighbor's eyebrows flew up and she said, "Oh! Well!  That's one I'll just have to keep to myself."
We had a good laugh about it.

How else does you neighbor think we mothers of big families keep our kids under control? Spanking is so old school.

No, spanking with wooden spoons is old school. Bull whips, now that's the future!
