My 8 year old daughter had lost a tooth recently and my husband was the one who usually took care of the “tooth fairy duites” but he was out of town on business . That night I forgot to put some change under her pillow. She woke up devestated that the fairy didnt leave her any money for her tooth.
I felt terrible!!. But I decided she was old enough that I should tell her the truth about the tooth fairy.
I of course I did NOT want her to tell the younger kids that there was NO tooth fairy. So I first told her I had a very big secret to tell her & to make sure she didnt tell anyone this secret.. I proceeded to tell her that the reason she did not get any money from the tooth fairy was because usually her dad was the tooth fairy and beacuse he was gone out of town I was supposed to do it but forgot and that is why she didnt get any money. I then handed her some change for her tooth.
I thought things went well until I over heard her telling the nieghbor girl that she had a really big secret to tell her.. “”My daddy IS the tooth fairy” apparently she took me very literally and was very excited to find out her daddy WAS indeed the tooth fairy!!

My 5 year old was not happy about doing chores and in a frustrated voice asked me “Mommy, why do you make us do all of YOUR chores?”
Apparently they are used to me doing everything LOL

Not so much said but did….My 1 yo was aggrivating her 3 yo sister. 3 yo was getting upset and said she was going to hit 1 yo next time she did somthing. I told her God wants us to turn the other cheek when someone is mean. When 1 yo bothered her sister again 3 yo promptly grabbed her sisters cheek and turned her head to the other side. She must be very literal

Those are adorable, Mary!

I just posted a video on my blog of a funny little exchange that my daughter and I had, not too long ago. She’s my youngest…and my spunkiest.

our youngest: Daddy, what’s a muslin?

Daddy: muslin? a kind of fabric

our youngest: Oh. I thought it, you know, the people who believe something different.

Do my high school students count?

My favorite is from a sophomore paper on Romeo and Juliet:
“…because Romeo was abscessed with Juliet…”

It rained for three days straight here in Michigan and we let the kids go out and play in it. Several hours later my almost 4 year old Dru comes down the with his hands up in the air and shouts out, “God is going to flood the earth AGAIN!”

I reminded him of the rainbow….

Tonight when we were talking about whether or not the kids would watch a video, my 4yo told me that daddy made an “incision” that they wouldn’t be watching a movie. My husband thinks she has been to the doctor way too much!
