Emphatically no

Me: "So did you talk to [boy you like] today?"

Sarah (nonchalantly): "No."

Danny: "What's up? Do you not like [boy you like] any more?"

Sarah: "Heck to the no! I still like him."

You're the servant

Jack: "Daddy bring me a drink."

Danny: "No, you come get it."

Jack: "But you're the servant of everybody."

(Danny wants everyone to know that for the record, he did not get the drink.)

Delirious children on the trampoline

Sarah gets her head stuck in the trampoline

I was told my assistance was needed, so of course I grabbed the camera...

In spite of what you might think, I am not God

Caid: "Mom, if God made everything, who made God?"

Me: "Um, I don't know. God just is. He was just there."

Caid: "Oh, so he just appeared and made everything?"

Me: "Yeah, I guess?"

Jack: "Why did God make everything?"

Me: "I guess he was bored and lonely. I don't know. He's just God. He can do what he wants to."

Caid: "What's tae-kwon-do?"

Me: "It's sort of like karate."

Jack: "Like kung fu?"

Me: "Yes, sort of. I think."

Caid: "Isn't Jack too young to do tae-kwon-do? I think it's too violent for him."

Me: "I think he'll be okay."

Jack: "Why is it called a Master?"

Caid: "Do you think he'll get hurt?"

Me: "A what? No, he'll be fine."

Jack: "Why is it a Master?"

Me: "What in tae-kwon-do? I don't know. That's just what they call it."

Caid: "Jack! Mom doesn't know everything. She's not God. If she was God she would know the answer."

Well, if you really cannot....

Danny: "Jack, when we get home you need to take a bath."

(silence.......)

Jack: "I am sorry Dad, but I cannot take a bath."

If Jesus and Mario got in a fight, who would win?

The other day Sarah and Jack were playing Super Mario on Wii.

Jack: "Sarah, you have super skills at Mario."

Sarah: "Thanks, Jack."

(a few moments of silence)

Jack: "Jesus has super skills too."

Ms. Tracy and Ms. Sue will be so proud! I know I am...

Point well taken

Me: "I'll be there in a minute."

Sarah: "Can you make it like a minute a minute, not like one of your minutes?"

(I better hurry - I think my minute's up!)
