Overheard
today
Buddy: What are counselors?
Mimi: Hmm. They're helpers...like Santa's helpers!
-------
yesterday
Buddy: Mommy can we go to golf today?
Mimi:(whispering so parents can't hear) If we clean up all of our room without being asked then I think they will say we can go to golf, or feed the ducks or to the zoo!
-------
This wasn't overheard, as I was supposed to be an active participant in the "conversation." This was tonight after the kids were in bed.
Sweetsa: (poking her head through a small gap between the door and the frame.)Mommy, Mimi talking!
Mom: OK. Go to bed!
S: Mommy Mimi TALKING!!
Mom: Ask her to please be quiet, and get back in bed, please.
S: MOMMY! MIMI TALKING!!!!
Mimi: (calling out from her bed) She wanted to come up on my bed and I told her No!
Mom: (laughing) Sweetsa, please get back into YOUR bed, and leave Mimi alone.
S: (heading back to bed, with that universal taunting inflection) Told mommy, Mimi!
two minutes later
S: Mommy, Buddy talking!

Oh Bethany - we have the same problems - with talking and tattling!! I think kids should be able to share a room - teaches them not to be spoiled, how to get along and share the work etc... But oh at bedtime - How I want all of them to have their own room and their own quiet. Falling asleep would be so easy then.
How cute! Those kids just keep you laughing.
My kids have separate rooms right now, and they still bug each other (and me!) at bedtime!
That is hilarious! Your little Sweetsa cracks me up!
