Sometimes I like to mess with my children.

Gabbers: Mommy? Can I have a treat from my Halloween basket?

Me: Yes, wait a minute.

Gabbers: I want to choose!

Me: Okay, you choose, I eat. Okay?

Gabbers: No, Mommy, they are mine.

Me: Can I eat you? You are mine.

Gabbers: No, I am a people. People don’t eat people.

Me: But you are meat. And I eat meat.

Gabbers: No, people only eat food-meat. They don’t eat people because they have bones inside them to keep them unflat.

I admit that I have cannibalistic tendancies when it comes to my kids also. I just love to bite their earlobes! Cute conversation!

So that's why I'm chubby?? Too many bones to help me stay inflated???? Now you tell me!!

Messing with your children is your parental right. I like this one.

My new one is whenever DD comes up to me with a story she always starts with "Guess what?" So lately I've been guessing. And I mean guessing. I'll say anything and everything that comes into my head until she is like, "Mom let me talk." Recently we were with my sister when I started guessing and she turned to her and went, "Can you stop her, please?"

Very cute! I have far more than just bones in me though to keep me unflat!

haha! Too cute.

By the way, how did you get buttons at the top of your blog? (home, about, blogroll, kiddie kwips, etc...)
