Because I Can't Make This Stuff Up

Okay--wasn't going to post over the weekend, but I just got off of the phone with my dad, who is taking care of my kids.

He relayed this conversation that occurred on the way to the movies:

J: Pampa, they (indicating her siblings) are being mean to me.

Dad: Who's being mean to you.

J: All of them.

C (sounding indignant): I just told her that everyone knows that those talking lips in the Dairy Queen commercial are a cartoon except babies and her.

Dad: Well, C, that wasn't really nice, was it?

J (holding up a small chunk of cement): So, Pampa, would it be okay if I hit him with this?

Dad (while trying not to laugh hysterically): Ummm, no. It's pretty much never okay to hit siblings with concrete. (to my step-mom) Where did she get that thing, anyway?

Sue: It's part of her concrete collection.

'Nuff said. This is exactly why I am currently on vay-kay in the high desert.

I just love that she ASKED if she could hit him. That's a good kid. ;)
