Zombie Children

Overheard

Rachel (as she cuts another slice of homemade, cheese-less, vegetables and sausage topped pizza): "Olive do you want this baby piece I cut for you?"
Olive: "don't want baby pizza. I want daddy pizza!"

----------------------------------------------------

Hannah deciding that she would rather go to the gym with me than to the store with Rachel.

Hannah: "I want to go with Daddy."

Me: "You don't want to go to the store with mom? You'd rather go to the gym with me."

Hannah with a sad, accepting-the-reality-of-the-situation face: "I need to get strong. Heber's really strong. But I'm not really strong."

---------------------------------------------

Rachel: "Heber, you can do chores or you can take a nap. Which option?

Heber contemplating his decision: "Ummmm, I want options."

Overheard (Inspired by Big Sis)

Hannah waddles into the kitchen in the morning with her pajamas soaked in pee.

Hannah: "Daddy I didn't pee the bed. I just slept in my bed and woke and I was wet." (Like it's a perfectly normal occurrence).

Me: (with rolled eyes) "Ok well take your shirt, pants and underwear off anyway and get some clean ones on."

On the way to the bathroom.

Heber: "Hannah did you pee the bed?"

Hannah: Again with the story to Heber.

Heber (confused): "But how did you get wet?"

Hannah: "I just went to sleep and woke up and I was wet."

Heber (not really convinced): "Oh."

Hannah: "No Heber! No!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Me: "Heber and Hannah eat this vitamin C and it will help you not get sick."

Heber: "It will make our cough get better?"

Me: "Yep."

Heber to Hannah: "You suck on the vitamin and your cough won't get better. You eat the vitamin and your cough will get better."

My Little Secretary

Should Rachel be worried about my new secretary?
