Our Take

“Pretend we are keepie-uppie players. Professional, almost all the way.”  “Why does someone always ruin my life?!”

 Conversation with Hailey… Hailey: I love naked cats. Me: What’d you say??  Hailey: I love naked cats.  Me: Oh.  Hailey: They’re so cute. The pink ones. Mostly. 

 Conversation with Hailey (while reading history)… Hailey: If they want beds, they could use the sheepness. Me: What’s it called?  Hailey: The stuff on the sheep. The white stuff. Me: Wool?  Hailey: Yeah. And they could just get off the wool and then use the…thread…and just put the wool in, and, um…sew it up. Or if they had horses they could use hay.  Me: Uh huh. Uh huh. 

 Conversation with Darby… Darby: I took so long to come down because there was a blanket hanging off of Rory’s bed and it looked like a skeleton.  Me: So you were trapped in bed by a skeleton blanket?  Darby: Yeah. And I was going to throw my sword at it, but I didn’t want to poke my arm out to get it. And I really needed to go to the bathroom, so that was bad.  Me: How did you escape?  Darby: I just looked harder at it and saw it was just a blanket.  Me: Did you say a blankie?  Darby: A blanket. But it looked like Smeagol or that creepy guy with the chubby face…or a lady. 

 Conversation with Lindsay (wearing a very fancy dress)… Me: You look beautiful, but I just don’t want you to ruin your dress. I don’t wear fancy things on normal days. Lindsay: I just have a lot of dresses. Me: So wear them!  Lindsay: I just want to wear shorts and short sleeves. Me: You USED to always want to wear dresses.  Lindsay: Yeah, but…fashion changes around me.
