Conversations with my kids this past week

Holly: “Hey Elizabeth. What do you think about Asher babysitting you this weekend?”
Elizabeth: “Asher. Asher. We all fall down!”

Holly: “Excuse me everyone. I just want you all to know that I lost two pounds. (striking a pose) Can’t you tell?”
Daniel: Um, yeah. Your boobs look smaller.

While watching a video on the Bible story of Joseph, Daniel didn’t understand why Joseph was sent to Jail. I explained it the best way I could:
Holly: Well, you see, Potiphar’s wife tried to kiss Joseph. But Joseph was like, “No! I can’t kiss you. You’re married.”
Daniel: Huh. It’s just a kissing problem. Kind of strange to go to jail for something like kissing.

Daniel: Mom, where’s dad?
Holly: Where he always is.
Daniel: On the toilet?
(Good guess. But what I was going for was the office)

Daniel: Mom, I need to start keeping a journal.
Mom: Why?
Daniel: Because all famous people write in journals.
Mom: Oh really. Who do you know that is famous who has kept a journal?
Daniel: Barack Obama.

At chocolate world:
Daniel: Can I get starbursts when we’re here.
Holly: Hershey doesn’t make starbursts.
Daniel: Who does?
Holly: I’m not sure. Maybe Mars.
Daniel: (thinking, thinking) Do they ship the candy to earth on rockets?

Holly: Lizzie, I’ve told you a thousand times to stop playing with the mirror.
Daniel: No, more like ONE-thousand times!

While going through some of our storage:
Daniel: Look what I found mom! An old-fashioned plate. How old do you think it is?
Holly: Well, it can’t be that old. I got it for a wedding gift.
Daniel: No, this was definitely used by the old-fashioners. Wow!
