Living in a State of Confusion

Sam: You want to give me a chocolate chip cookie.
Me: I didn’t make any today.
Sam: I can have one.
Me: Wait… are you asking me or telling me?
Sam: I’m telling you.
Me: Your Jedi mind tricks don’t work on me.
Sam: You want to give me a cookie.

Maggie: Poopie.
Me: Do you really need to be changed or are you just saying that?
Maggie: No.
Me: No you don’t really need to be changed or no you’re not just saying that?
Maggie: Yes.

Sam: Poopie is rude. Don’t say poopie. We don’t say poopie, right Mommy? Poopie is a rude word.
Me: Ok. That’s enough, Sam. Thank you for the reminder.

Sam: mommy-Mommy-MOMMYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
Me: yes-What-WHAT?
Sam: Not you. Pretend Mommy.

Maggie: Sammy?
Sam: Yes, honey?

Me (to Sam, who is squatting on the floor and hopping along while looking through binoculars): What are you?
Sam: What am I?
Me: Are you a bunny?
Sam: No.
Maggie: I’m a bunny!!! Ribbit!

Maggie: (chomping gleefully) GUM!!!
Me: Did Nonnie give you gum?
Maggie: YES!! (opening her mouth to show me)
Me: There’s nothing in there.
Maggie: I eat it!!

Sam: May I have some of that chicken?
Austin: This is spicy chicken. You want to try it?
Sam: (licking the sauce a bit and then leaving it)
Austin: Did you like it?
Sam: Yes. I would like to not eat some more.

UFO sighting? What do you think?

House for rent…

1bedroom 1bath house for rent
Lots of natural light. Open floor plan.
Newly renovated!!! Old sticker carpets carefully removed to reveal glowing plastic floors.
Fully furnished (food already in the fridge too)!
Friendly, helpful management on hand to refill the toilet with sippy-cup water. They’re big, loud, and a bit nosy, but always there when you need them.
Cheerful neighborhood full of farm animals and matchbox cars, who will probably stop by to visit often.
Some privacy issues, but otherwise a great place to live! Don’t miss this one!
