That
happened over the last week or so...
#1 - G
got in trouble at school on Monday.
Apparently, she hijacked a little boys coloring sheet and started
coloring it FOR him because he wasn't coloring it to her satisfaction. She
maintains she was "helping" him.
What a little control freak...no idea where she gets THAT from! :)
Yes, we
had a talk when she got home...but it was definitely one of those times I had
to hold back the smile.
#2 - C
is supposed to be memorizing the 10 commandments for school over the next two
weeks. He was given the option of
memorizing a 10 commandments song and singing it for his teacher OR a list of
the 10 Commandments and saying it for his teacher. Monday, he said he wanted to sing the
song. Tuesday, he came home and said
he'd changed his mind. (I assumed this
was because he didn't want to sing for his teacher...I was wrong :) When I asked him why he changed his mind, he
said "The song has more words. The
list has less words. I'd rather do the
list." Mr. Pragmatic. :)

Last week I found a copy of a R*bert F*rber July Flower print at Goodwill. I was pretty excited because I'd seen them
before and really like the vintage look. It was $5.00 and snatched it up. I showed it to J and he was so-so on
it...said it looked old :) But he agreed
to hang it in our bedroom for me this weekend.
After he put two (one hole was too low for my liking...he's very patient
with me) holes in our still freshly painted walls, I hung the picture up. Here is the conversation that transpired:
Me: [as I was hanging the picture] See, isn't that pretty...Huh...J, what is that in
the vase at the bottom of the picture.
Is that a drawing of naked men? What are they doing???
J: That's...HO NOW! That's three dudes...SKETCHY!
Me: [Taking the picture down and putting in the
To Donate pile] I'll go steal another picture from somewhere else in the house
to cover up those holes in the wall.
(I
hadn't noticed previously but sort of hidden in the vase was a
"bonus" picture...kinda looked like the style of Leonardo Da Vinci's
David...not sure what that style is called)
