I want to be a monkey

This morning at breakfast we each named one favorite thing we want to do this weekend: Andrew: I want to put our Texas stickers on the car window! Dave: I want to have dinner with mommy. Me: I want to have a picnic dinner in the backyard . . . in our nice clothes . . . and take some pictures . . . Sarah: I want to be a monkey.

My voice

Andrew says he wants his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese (sigh). Me: Hey, what about the movie theater! A: No. Chuck E. Cheese. Me: How about our house? A: No. I want Chuck E. Cheese. Me: What about The Pink Cottage? Remember the pirate party? A: Chuck E. Cheese sounds good. Me: Funtastic Punch? (gasp) The Park! A: (looking me in the eye) I want to have my birthday at my house and my party at Chuck E. Cheese. Now, stop messing with my voice.

We're between Dora episodes on Nick Jr and Sarah wanted to know where Dora went. I swear, I said this to her . . . verbatim, "Doras'll be on back." What?! I'm so tired today . . . On the upside, she knew what I meant without further explanation. Like · · September 11, 2011 at 5:34pm Cindy Childress likes this.
