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!

Jimmy P

Me:  "James, what is all that doing in your bedroom?"
Jims:  "I don't know.  It seemed like fun."
Me:  "It's not gatorade though, is it?"
Jims:  "Nope.  I don't think you should drink it.  Or anybody really.  Except maybe Isaac."
Me:  "That's mean.  Get rid of it."
Jims:  "What?!  But that was a lot of hard work!  Besides, it's convenient since the bathroom is all the way across the hall from my bedroom."
Me:  "That's about 6 feet.  I don't feel sorry for you.  It's also a health hazard so please get rid of it."
Jims:  "Okay."  [mumbles when he thinks I can't hear: "Sheesh!  This is a waste!"]
...Ironic.
