Hey Mr Postman!

I have a nice quiet attic home office where I work most days. The other day I hear the door open and someone starting up the stairs. It was Timmy, coming up unbeknownst to anyone else in the house.

"Daddy, I'm coming up to your Post Office!"

I know a secret... I know a secret

Admiral Boom Frog

I've always had a complex about how my voice sounded on video, etc. This quote from Dahia doesn't help that complex... even if I was talking through the baby monitor.

Dahlia: "Daddy sounds like a combination of Michigan J. Frog and Admiral Boom over the monitor."

Telling it like it is

"The problem with my flashlight is that it is broken."

Old fashioned trail mix

Talking about food for our camping trip, Honoria mentioned this idea:
"Mommy, we should make trail mix and put chopped twinkies in it!  We have not had that for a LONG time!!"

I'm pretty sure she didn't even know what a twinkie was.

Purely Hypothetical

The kids were on a roll asking each other hypothetical questions like, "If you could legally buy a moneymaker for five dollars, would you?"

Then Honoria thought she could get in on the fun too,
"If you saw a store that said "moneymakers," and you went inside, and all they had was tiny airplanes, what would you do?"

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!!!??

Honoria defines beef cattle

"Do you know what beef cows are? They are a kind of cows with beef inside."
