All of your comments about your own laundry woes made me feel like I'm not the only one and maybe my kids are normal, so thanks!
Anyway, every single time Snip and Snap (10 and 8) are in the back of the mini-van, their conversation is an adventure. Yesterday it was about legs. (Keep in mind that neither of them are the least bit overweight. In fact, Snip might be UNDERweight.)
Snap: The tops of my legs are kinda fat.
Snip: The top of EVERYONE'S legs are fat. I mean big around. Mom, is that mean?
Me: No. (I knew what she meant)
Snip: I used to think something was wrong with my legs 'cause if you stare at them for a long time, the little red lines under the skin start to look funny.
Me (thinking this could be a teaching moment): Those are your veins and capillaries. Remember we studied those?
Snip (totally uninterested): OK.
Snap: Yeah, I used to think I needed to go to the emergency room because my legs would be so skinny, but they got fat when I sat down.
Snip and Snap: HA HA HA HA HA
Me, thinking to myself: Yeah, laugh it up while you can, ladies. Laugh it up.
Yee ha!

that is hysterical...i love kids. my b just said today that she was glad she had on her zipp-ty-do-da jammies since it was so windy. crazy kid!
super fun that ur from indy...and the same age too...weird. i'm just saying.
thanks for stopping by my blog today too!
Too funny! You will have to remind them of this conversation one day! Mamarazzi sent me over to show you some love today! Have a great one!
Yeah, I remember when I could eat a whole bag of chips and not gain an ounce. Sigh. Those were the good ol' days!
This is hilarious because I used to think that EXACT SAME THING!!! And yeah, it's not so funny anymore. Thanks for coming by and saying HI. I was feeling too overwhelmed by the drama that is my daughter's life (although this week it really was warranted!) to get too excited about the tornado. To me it was like a really bad interruption of my already too busy, drama-filled day! Ha ha. But yes, the big metal car body shop that they kept showing yesterday on FOX is DIRECTLY across the street from our favorite restaurant that we WERE at all the time (when life was more affordable!) We just ate there on Sunday. Also, two of the homes we house-hunted before settling here were mowed down. But can you believe that about half the people ALREADY had their houses re-roofed yesterday? I was IMPRESSED with how hard people were working to get those neighborhoods cleaned up. The missing trees are almost all that is left to show for an F3 hitting there just TWO days ago! I can't believe it!
Funny, Funny, Funny. I love how kids can be entertained by the simplest of things.
An answer to your question is that yes Lord Willing we will have another baby. I am o.k. either way.

p.s. My Dad took the picture of us.
Ba hahahaha! Gotta love their "fat leg" perspective. I remember thinking that too when I was, what, 15? HA! Little did I know.
Blessings,
~Toni~
Oh boy...I don't even have to SIT...for the "fat-ness" to appear.
It took a while for JJ to get close to me again, but yes after our date things slowly got better... fat legs and all, lol!
I remember thinking that I when I was young, but sesame street helped me realized I was wrong when I saw the videos where monsters were loosing their lap, elbows and knees! LOL!!!
They are too funny. I hate to sit down and look at my thighs in shorts.

I'm interested in learining about veins. :) I just can't wait until I have kids of my own...
I love kid conversations. You're really good at getting them down.
Happy Valentine's Day, Sniz!
Kids are so funny! Love your comment at the end. Laught it up NOW. LOL
Haha! Fun story! When we were wee ones, my brother was forever tormenting me about my legs being fatter than his, even though he was older. I used to HATE it when he did that! (even though it was the truth.)
My legs are still "bigger 'round the top" than his, but oh well. My grandmother was called "Thunder Thighs", so what can I say? It's genetic. :)
Honestly, I don't have big legs or big anything. My thighs just look big because I have hardly any hips....or because I'm just so muscular. :)
Thanks for recording these hilarious exchanges. Always good for a laugh!

LOL! I love reading the conversations that your kids have..Yeah, just wait 'til their legs start getting dimples :O
