My friend Dara shared this story the other day about her witty daughter Dori:
"Yesterday my seven year old and I were standing at the screen door watching my husband trying to pull a cracked limb out of a tree with my truck (using a tow rope). I looked down at her and told her how beautiful she was. She said, "Mom! Really? Right now?". Then followed that up with, "Actually, this is the perfect time to tell me that because we might all die"!!!!"

Tales of work
Stories from working at the newspaper:
Me: "Miss O may I ask why you wish to cancel your services?"
Miss O. "we just don't do things like that"
Me: "things like what may I ask?"
Miss O: "ya know things like read the paper or watch the news, ya know that kind of stuff"
Me: (to myself of course) uh yeah I wouldn't be admitting that kind of stuff OUT LOUD to people!
And we wonder why people are so ignorant!
Mr X "I just recieved a bill from you all and I don't why 'cause I'm not due till May"
Me: "Uh sir...I'm not understanding what the problem is"
Mr X (raising voice) "well this is the 11th and I'm not due till May why are you sending me a bill now"
Me: "sir that's your bill FOR May---most bills are sent a week or two before they are due. Seeing as today is April 11th we've mailed that bill to you now so you can pay it for May"
Mr X: "oh"
Me: "Miss O may I ask why you wish to cancel your services?"
Miss O. "we just don't do things like that"
Me: "things like what may I ask?"
Miss O: "ya know things like read the paper or watch the news, ya know that kind of stuff"

Craziness
April 9th 2011
Me: "Caitlynn why did you throw Meaghan's stuffed animal at the wall?"
Caitlynn: "Because I have throwing issues."
April 4th 2011
Meaghan and Charlie and being their typical selves and fighting like two wild banshees! My solution? They each pay me $1! I've never seen such a reaction on their faces...I may be onto something here!
April 1st 2011
Made rice krispie treats with the kids...wasn't exactly the loving moment they show on TV...it was more like this:
"wash your hands"
"oh, good God don't put your finger in there"
and my favorite..."if you lick the spoon you'll burn your tongue...told ya so"

Caitlynn: "mommy I've been practicing my whistling. But I can only do it through my nose."
