Always Entertaining

An Izzy story:

When I tucked Izzy in the other night, I noticed a list taped to her wall that reached almost ceiling to floor.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“My Christmas list,” she answered.

I cracked up.

A Luke story:

Luke says to me, “Mom, I’m not one of those people who thinks it’s all the president’s fault that we have a bad economy. I mean he has a lot of responsibility.”

First thought: Did he just use the word economy? Second thought: “Luke, have you been reading Newsweek?”

A Wyatt story: 

Wyatt was hopping up and down as we looked at toys in the store.

“Wyatt,” I said, “Do you have to go to the bathroom?”

“No.”

“Are you doing a pee-pee dance?”

“No.” Starts jumping feet out and in. “This is the pee-pee dance.”

An Annie story:

Seeing outdoor Christmas lights: “Mom, it’s more Christmas!”

Seeing Santa on TV: “Mom, it’s more Christmas!”

Seeing Christmas trees at the elementary school: “Mom, it’s more Christmas!”

Seeing Santa at the Santa lunch: “Mom, it’s more Christmas!”

You get the idea.
