Me: "B, I don't think I saw your report card. I need to see your report card." B: "Mom, you do not want to see it." Me: "Why? What's it going to tell me?" B: "MOM, you DO NOT want to see it!" Me: "Why? What's it going to tell me? You were bad?" Shakes his head in agreement.

Loud Talker

At Christmas every year we have the kids do a grab for each other. We try to keep which child got which a secret. Inevitably it starts to slip out by Christmas. This year I was shopping for one of the grab gifts with Brendan & Audrey. Brendan mentioned to me who had him. When I asked him how he knew his response was, "you talk loud, mommy." Apparently I ruined his surprise!

Brendanism

While watching all the Black Friday commercials last night...
Me: "Brendan, what do you want for Christmas?"
Him: "Everything."

Boyisms...

While my mother was on the telephone at my house the other day, I was trying to listen to her conversation so that I would be able to help her if necessary. I had asked Brendan to stop talking several times. Here is how the conversation proceeded...
Me: "Can you stop talking? Do you ever stop talking?"
Him: "Sorry, I have a mouth."

Today all the kids were playing in the Kulik's yard across the street. All were rolling down their front lawn. Patrick stopped at one point and lied in the grass. While lying there I asked him to get up so he didn't get any ticks. I told him that if he didn't get up and got ticks who would remove them because I wasn't. His response:

"You have to, your my mother."
