Today, Angie and I were talking about my blog post from yesterday, and she said, "The thing is, people probably think you are exaggerating. I have been here and seen it and know that all that stuff happens." She is willing to vouch for me.
Ceci just came out of the bathroom. I guess Henry is the one on the toilet.

i was just exaggerating when i said you were exaggerating in your last post. also, would you please decipher #10 for me? i have no idea what that is. it's pretty amazing to hear how your kids perceive you (you specifically and as an example of parent/kid relationships in general). i have so many thoughts about this but i can't write them down, so i'll have to talk to you about it at some point. so interesting. . .
I know you were exaggerating when you said I was exaggerating. I wrote that just to exaggerate your exaggeration. What part of number 10? The part about me knowing things? Because I am pretty sure that was a prophetic word. The part about the bonus and leapster? If you substitute the word "your" in for "an" then I think that it makes more sense. I think she meant we would get our own Leapsters. (Handheald educational computer game for children.)
This is hysterical... and so something I could picture you doing as a mom. And it's such a good idea... even 5 years from now your kids will think their answers are hilarious and you will have further proof that you are one super cool mom. :) Two questions for you... did you come up with this fun survey all on your own or find it somewhere and did you blog their answers as they gave them or store the information mentally to blog later? Either way... it's still funny.
Thanks! One of my friends put this on her Facebook page, and I copied it. I typed their answers as they said them. I would have forgot them otherwise!
i hope you got the stiffness out of those towels! wouldn't want those moody boy's to hurt themselves while drying off.
I'm stealing this idea, just to let you know. LOVE IT! Poor mommy, in Ceci's eyes, all you do is laundry...And I love how Henry's knows you love him because you "just do"
