The day we were leaving for our 4th of July weekend at the Holiday Inn:

Aaron: Did you pack for me, too?

Me: No. I already packed for four people and figured that was enough. (Followed up with an ever so faint a**hole)

Last weekend in Grandma's pool:

Me: Jacob, how did you hurt your lip?

Jacob, with a recent red cut on his bottom lip: Oh, this? I hurt it in Florida... you know, in that mean cat pool?

(Referring to the "Kiddie" pool that he cut his lip in nearly three months ago)

Two days ago while getting ready to head to the beach:

Me: Who tooted?

Silence.

Me: Jacob? Did you toot or was that Austin?

Aaron, with a very guilty grin: Man do I love living in a house with three other boys.

A couple of weeks ago, just before bedtime:

Jacob: Mom, these are my nuts. They hold my pee.

Me: Ahh, thanks for letting me know. And who told you they were called nuts?!?!

Jacob: I learned it all by myself.

Me: Fabulous.

And one more...

At bedtime, when Jacob would not. go. to. bed.

Me: Jacob! If you do not get in bed and be quiet right now I am going to take your fish away!

Jacob: What about the snail?
