It's been awhile - maybe my kids have been quite lately or maybe they just aren't as funny (or maybe I forget to write things down!). What ever it is - here's a few gems from recent weeks.
* Recently, the boys and I were driving into town and it was raining. Nate says, "I wish we lived with Papa and Nana that way Papa could drive." I asked him why and he said, "Because Papa can drive in anything and never stops even when it is raining hard.". This stems from one time several years ago when, on the way home from my parents, I had to stop on the expressway due to severe weather. Well, I was tired of hearing that "Mom can't drive in the rain" so I told them the truth - the reason I had to stop was because we were actually in the middle of a tornado so all of the cars had stopped on the expressway - I had no choice but to stop. (For real - the tornado went above us and touched down on the other side of the expressway) I figured this would nip that story in the bud. NOPE! Josh states, "Well, if Papa had been driving, he would have just driven right out of that tornado!!".
* The boys were discussing their future jobs. Josh wants to be a State Police and has stated that he will tell his boss that he cannot work Saturday and Sundays. Nate is going to be a City Police and said he will never work Sundays because he loves church too much AND he will tell his boss that he won't work on rainy days. They won't be as busy anyway and won't need as many people. HA!
* Nate has decided that he also wants to be a storm chaser; and on days he isn't working, he'll be a father. hahaha
