Background (names and numbers have been changed to preserve our bank account)
Sometimes life requires the memorization of numbers. In order to help Rachel remember them when occasion permits, I like to let her use a trick that has always helped me—i.e. associate the numbers with a famous athlete's number.

Example:
Rachel: "What's my new PIN for my checking card?"

Me: "It's easy just remember Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher."

Rachel: "I can't even remember those names let alone a number that they mean."

Me: "Just trust me."

So today I got a text from Rachel.

Rachel: Do you remember my new PIN? All I can remember is that it is a football player's number and it might have a 5 in it.

I busted. Up laughing.

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."
