The other day, Matthew was playing a video game where cartoon characters are racing each other in cars when we heard him say, “They are driving like idiots.” Andrea started laughing, but I paused trying to figure out where I had heard that before, right down to the inflection in […]
Benjamin was asking one of his normal questions about how humans are made (“What is under our skin?”, “What is blood?”, etc.) when, out of no where, Matthew asks, “Girls are not human, right?” I laughed and asked him if he meant “Squirrels.” “No!” “Girls?” “Yes! They got funny hair […]
A lot of people, when they come back from California, come back with wine stuffed in their suitcase. When I came back from California, I came back with Chocodiles stuffed in my suitcase. For those of you wondering what a Chocodile is, think Twinkie covered in chocolate. When I was […]

I’ve been known to mutter some choice words when completely frustrated while driving. This doesn’t matter whether the kids are in the car or not. The other day I was driving home with the kids I had to slam on my brakes to not hit a car that cut me […]
