Jeff: Can't we stay up late tonight? It's Friday.
Mom: It is 7:30, by the time we get home and you get your pj's on, brush your teeth, fight with your sisters, and get a drink it will be way past your bed time and you will have stayed up late.
Jeff: Is it okay if I spend time reading a book instead of fighting with my sisters?
*He does take his responsibilities as an older brother very seriously and I know would feel he had shirked his duty if he missed any prime fighting time.
Another One
We are thinking of taking the kids to the Grand Canyon in a couple of weeks and at dinner we were dropping hints about summer time plans, I said, "We might go see a big hole." Tessa caught on quickly and said, "Oh, I know, we're going to the Turley's." (Friends of ours who had to replace their main plumbing line and had to dig a huge trench in their backyard.)
*I'm grateful that they haven't got big expectations for family trips and fun yet :)

I love hearing your kids conversations. They make me smile.
I hope you shared that conversation with the Turleys - too funny!
Ha ha, those were great. Gotta love my favorite kids!
You've gotta love a fella that would rather read a book than have a good brawl... ;-)
Who knew Turley's yard had potential as a tourist destination!!
Wow, that sounds like an affordable trip. Maybe we'll come along and bring popcorn:)
I can't wait until they are in high school and you can get out Grandmas book of funny grandchildren quotes and embarrass them!!!
Love what Jefferson said. That is really cute.
