kiddie quips

Jonah came to me and asked if he could play a batman game that he saw on a commercial on TV. I said, "No, we're not going to buy that." So later that day I told him he could go upstairs and play computer games. Seth and Jonah play pbskids.org all the time. It's on my favorites list, and they know where to go and how to get to the games. So after some time I headed upstairs to check on him. He's was playing a batman game! I was so surprised. I asked him HOW he did this. He said, "I googled it." So I took him to the google page and asked him to show me what he did. He typed in this: batmangams. I couldn't believe it. Jonah (4 years old when this happened..now 5) feels no boundaries to what he can do - he doesn't feel held back by anything. If he has a want or a need, he thinks why not figure it out myself and make it happen.

Just today Jonah asked me if we still have birthdays after we die. Sometimes kids have crazy questions and it's hard to know what to say. I thought this was a cute one. What kid can imagine heaven without birthday parties. I'm sure we will have plenty of parties :).

Kyle was in his home office working on the computer. He was frustrated because he couldn't find the cordless mouse. Kyle said, "Wheeeere is the mouse?" Violet was nearby and answered , "Snake ate it." (we have a pet snake)

For my birthday my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law came over for lunch and cake. All the kids and adults were served cake and were happily eating away when we hear Violet shout from her high chair, "Hey, I want cake." We had forgotten to serve her cake. It was funny - especially the "hey" part, but maybe you had to be there. Or maybe it's just cuz I'm her mom!
