Quotes from the kids:
Me: Quit jumping on the couch!
Emily: I'm not jumping, I'm bouncing. I'm bouncing real high.
On the way to school...
Anthony: Mom, if I tell you something do you promise not to get mad?
Me: No, but I can try.
Anthony: Every morning when you tell me to brush my teeth, I really lay back down for a minute.
Me: I'm not mad, but I'll be watching more closely.
Anthony: And I took one of Daddy's pepperment pattties and stuck it in my pocket.
Me: Take it out so it doesn't melt and eat it or put it in your backpack for later.....(For a minute I was really proud of his honesty, until it occured to me what his motive was) Why did you feel this sudden urge to be honest?
Anthony: (just as I suspected) Because I wanted to eat it now without you getting mad at me
