Kids Say...

I have been writing these down in my book, but not getting to post them on the blog so there's a lot of them this time!

I knew I was raising boys, but being the only woman in a house full of xy chromosomes has its ... repugnant moments:  Sitting at breakfast one morning Seamus started screaming.  Derek was sitting beside him and gently and quietly assessed the situation, put his finger on one of Seamus's nostrils and said, "Blow".  Seamus promptly blew a cheerio out of his open nostril, picked it up, and ate it.

The boys took off running and Seamus shouted, "I'm fast!"  Luke quickly pulled ahead and Seamus shouted just as joyfully, "I'm slow!"
