Conversation #1: "Did you ever wonder what would have happened if Noah kicked a big hole in the ark? Or maybe a big elephant?"
"Well, that story sure wouldn't have had a happy ending! I like stories with happy endings, don't you? I don't like sad endings."
Conversation #2: T: "B..., do you play with your sister?"
B: "Sometimes, but sometimes I'm just mean to her."
J: "Yeah, brothers and brothers go together, not sisters and brothers. Hey, B...., what if you and I were brothers?"
B: "That would be cool. I'd like that!"
J: "Or what if I had a sister your age and when you grew up you could get married. Then we'd be brothers. Or maybe cousins? Mrs. Grissom, what would we be?" (I tell them the answer)
B: "I'm not getting married! That would be the worst thing I could do!"
J: "Yeah, you'd have to buy a house and then you would have a mortgage payment. (Since when did 7 yr olds know about a mortgage payment?) It's best just to live in the car." :)
Still having dreams! One of them last night involved school again. (I think I need a break!) I had a mother and aunt come in the room and gang up on me trying to get her daughter excused for a very "dumb" reason. I told them very firmly and with great conviction that it would not be excused and that the child should be in school doing her job learning and not at the mother's store helping clean up her messes. I gave great valid reasons and was really giving a good lawyer demonstration, when, in waltzed my principal with 3 huge dogs! (We're talking horse size!) She paraded them right into my classroom and disrupted the whole scene. Right through the door she came being dragged by the 3 monsters. (She got a good kick out of this. I did wake up feeling pretty proud of my demonstration in the dream. You would just have to know what is going on at school to understand. Obviously, I haven't had this exact scenario). :)

I just love to hear kids conversations...I can guarantee though...I had no idea about morgages at 7 years old. In addition - I think I am having sympathy dreams for you...last night I dreamed I had a black baby?????????? Where did that come from????? Maybe doing baby cards for my friend is giving me these nightmares!
Oh boy! That's funny! Well, I also dreamed mom had quads...
Oh dear... I shutter to think of what Parker's conversation might entail next year!
(When my brother and I were in school, we would come home and discuss all that was "going on" at school and my parents would just hate it! They made us not talk about school stuff during supper!)
Hey Jenny!!! You FINALLY got your snow day! YEA! Are you out sledding down the driveway??? :)
Too funny! Kids are great. And I agree, mortgage payments? I MIGHT have known about a house payment but certainly didn't call it a mortgage payment.
Putting my Joseph hat on nice and tight (OK maybe too tight), here is the interpretation of your dream. The three huge dogs represent the three BIG boys you will end up having over the years, and they will be dragging you around against your wishes, making you forget all about the big mess that needs cleaned up. This is when you will call the mother and aunt for help to clean up even though it sounds like a bad excuse!!
How's that?!?
Well, it was worth a laugh! But, as you recall...you have 1 boy that you so affectionately call "The Tank."
