Sloan: “Hey Mom! What if I had a fire bootie?”
Me: “Um…what?”
S: “What if I had a fire bootie? Then, if a dinosaur started chasing me, I could just toot and it would be like a rocket and I could get away.”
Me: *silence* There’s really no way to respond to that.

Sloan: “Tia! Stop copying me.”
Tia: “Stop copying me.”
S: “Tia, stooooop.
T: “Tia, stooooop.”
S: “Mom, Tia is copying me.”
T: “Mom, Tia is copying me.”
Me: “Tia please stop copying Sloan. That bothers him.”
Tia: “Well I can’t help it. My bwain tells me to copy and I can’t say no to my bwain.”
Me: “Well, you’re gonna have to learn to say no to your brain, honey, or you’re gonna have a lot of trouble in life.”
Sloan: “Yeah. And some of that trouble will be with me.”
Someone tell me again…how long until school starts back up?

Hysterical! And please tell Tia that Mommy’s readers wish they could say no to their bwains more often too!
Funny stuff Kelli! Thanks for the morning laugh.
Love it!! I laughed out loud reading this. It reminds me so much of me, Summer, Randy, and Seth growing up. One of my favorites is when Randy called out from the back seat of the van, “Moooom!! Seth hit me!” and then Seth pipes up from the back of the van and says, “No I didn’t…I missed!” As if that would vindicate him! (= Love you guys!
Hilarious! I can’t wait ’til hailey and caleb start playing with each other!
Love this! My christmas letter last season was all funny stories of what the kids said and did. It was peoples’ favorite! I’ll send you a copy on facebook. 🙂
Hahahaha…I LOVE your kids!!!! I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of trouble our 6 could get in together:) …Maybe someday they will have the opportunity!
