in my family. Here was ours tonight… while watching COPS (a regular activity in our house), the girls got all whiny upstairs while ‘trying’ to get to sleep. So I stopped our t.v. watching and yelled up to them.
Me: What’s wrong?
Emi: Abby won’t keep the door open and I want the door open but she wants the door closed.
Me: The door to the hallway has to stay open.
Emi: When can we have the door open?
Me: When you’re ten [had to come up with something]
Emi: When we’re ten Grandma’s going to take us to France.
[insert the beginning of my laughter along with Ron and Joseph who are with me]
Emi: When we’re eleven we’re going to go golfing.
[insert more hysterical laughter]
Ron: When I’m 40 I’m going to go to the bathroom.
[insert laughter from ALL members … 1st and 2nd floor]
Joseph: Look! A squirrel.
Totally off topic in a matter of seconds … this is exactly how our conversations go ’round these parts. Regularly. 🙂
