1. The most important question to be asked in our house for the next 20 years or so
Me: What did you do at school today:
Matthew: First we took a picture. That was fun. Then we took another picture. That was fun. Then everybody sitted down like a pretzel. Then we put on our listening ears. (here he counts his fingers) Four. That was number four. Then number five, we all sat at tables!
(Ahhh-he's already making lists. He is his mother's child.)
2. More spill-over from Bindi (sorry this goes on a bit)
Matthew: Guess which animal I am this morning, mom?
Me: A cheetah?
Matthew: No. I'll give you a clue. I'm orange and white.
Me: A tiger? (apparently I'm pigment challenged)
Matthew: No. I'll give you two clues. I'm orange and white and I live in a cave.
Me: A lizard?
Matthew: No. I'll give you three clues. (can you tell he's a bit into numbers lately) I'm orange and white. I live in a cave and I like to eat meat. (any guesses anyone?) I'll give you four clues. I'm orange and white. I like to eat meat. I live in a cave and I like to jump on rocks. Here's five clues. I'm orange and white. I live in a cave. I like to eat meat. I like to jump on rocks and I'm a wild dog that lives in Australia.
Me: (finally) A dingo?
Matthew: YES!
3. Guess who's in charge of Mom
Me (as I grab Joseph's hand from diving into the toilet water): Ahhhh. Who left the bathroom door open?! Matthew, did you leave to door open? You know you are always supposed to close the door.
Matthew: No. Did you leave it open Mom?
Me: Actually, maybe I did leave this door open.
Matthew: Is Jesus going to put you in the corner?

Ooohh, I laughed out loud on this one. That is just too funny.
I would actually like to see Jesus put you in the corner.
Oh my! does Jesus put people in corners? I missed that lesson.
and you need to learn this and teach it to your kids.
House Rules
1. Mom is always right.
2. If Mom is wrong, see Rule #1
If Jesus puts you in the corner do you have to tell your Bishop?
hilarious, emily. I love all three moments!
I just caught Dirty Dancing on tv last weekend. Remember the line "nobody puts Baby in the corner"? Maybe the same thing goes for moms.
