Sounds suspicious to me

Momma:  "What are you doing, Elsie?"
Elsie: "Nothing you need to know about."

Chess Players for President

Jonathan (13 yrs)  "Instead of a presidential election, they should just have a chess match."
Momma: "Do you think winning at chess is a good indication of a good president?"
Jonathan: "Well, there would be a lot less wars."

We're related

"You know what the strangest thing in the world is? I am related to people I do not relate to."

Jonathan, Age13

Loud

"I like loud. It is my happy place."

Thomas, age 9

Super Hero Day

This week is spirit week at Thomas and Elsie's school. Tomorrow is Super Hero Day. Elsie cannot think of anything she wants to wear, despite my suggestions.

"Momma, I only know of two super heroes and I cannot dress like them. The only two real super heroes I know are God and Jesus."

Icing

"Sometimes I look at the snow on the front yards as icing on the cake." David (age 10)

Gross Stuff

Yesterday David (age 10) brought home a form from school for me to sign about the S.H.A.R.E  (Sexuality, Health, and Responsiblity Education) Program at school.

"You have to sign this. I don't want to go to it." (David)

"Why not?" (Momma)

"Because Daddy already talked to me about all of that gross stuff and I don't want to talk about it at school." (David)

Do not wake me up

David and Jonathan share a room.

"David, do not wake me up in the morning. And if you do, RUN."

Jonathan (age 12)
