(He had his chin turned all the way over to his right shoulder)
I wish it could go 'round. I never get to see my back!
****Holly: I know what "Passed away" means now.
Ariana: It means to pull up the anchor and push your boat away.
Holly: blank stare..........
(I then proceeded to clear the confusion between "cast-away" and "passed away")
****We homeschool and so I teach the kids handwriting lessons. We were talking about sloppy handwriting and how the computer has introduced an even lazier generation as far as penmanship is concerned. After the lesson I tried to reiterate the message by asking the kids,
Mom: "So, what is one of the biggest problems in our generation?"
Ryan: "Barack Obama" (Bu-dum---ching! :)
****And this one is old but good. My mom was visiting and we surprised the kids with a trip to feed the ducks and then McDonald's afterward. Ryan was four or five and liked to read labels, but didn't always get them right.........
Ryan: Yay, yay, yay.......can I get Hick in my happy meal?
Me: What is Hick?
Ryan: It's the red stuff.
Mom: What red stuff?
Ryan: The Hick!
Me: Do you mean ketchup?
Ryan: No, I mean HICK. (getting a little frustrated that I don't understand.)
Me: I still don't know what Hick means. You'll have to help me choose it when we get there.
We pull up to McDonald's and Grandma saves the day. She spots the Hi-C fountain drink.
We laughed till we cried. We still call Hi-C "Hick" to this day.
Kids keep life fun and interesting.

I just love your kids! They are so funny and clever and just plain cute.
Handwriting *is* one of the biggest problems -- so I hope you'll add the following resource to any list of handwriting solutions that you maintain:

haha!! I love what kids say! And your kids always have clever things to say, they are so smart just like their parents!
I can still vividly remember the "HIC" day. We laughed til we cried. I think we were so tired we could have laughed ourselves to sleep if you hadn't needed to drive back home.
So funny Chanin! Kids are hilarious! Zoe would have said the same thing about GW three years ago!
