Micah is playing house with the neighbor girl, Arlen.
Arlen: Micah, I need your help, you need to get back to work!
Micah: I’m on a mandatory break. I’ll help you when I’m done.
Trying to explain life and death to the kids and Brin asked if we could just get our cat Mac stuffed because he’s softer than her stuffed animals and it might be cheaper than “burning him up into ashes”. 😬
Micah: “I want a berry with 100 seeds.”
Sarah: “Uh, strawberry?”
Micah: “I don’t know! It has 100 seeds!”
Sarah: “What color is it?”
Micah: “I don’t know. It has 100 seeds!”
Me: “Here’s a picture of a strawberry.”
Micah: “Yes! See, I told you!”
Brinley: “Can I have a piece of toast?”
Sarah: “Sure.”
Brinley: “Scraped.”
Sarah: “Sure.”
Brinley: “With nothing on it.”
Sarah: “Okay.”
Brinley: “Plain.”
Sarah: “So you want a piece of bread.”
Brinley: “Yes! That’s it!”
Brin to a rock she found in the dirt garden: “Your time here is done, rock. You had your chance, but you wasted your time here.”
Micah: “I need a straw.”
Sarah: Gets him a straw.
Micah: Proceeds to drink his remaining maple syrup from breakfast.
Brinley: “Look at this room! I’m organizing!!!”
Mommy: “That looks great!”
Brinley: “What does organizing mean?”
I asked Brin to water my begonias. She got water, came back, and said, “Here’s the water for your pooptonias!”
Brinley was getting on her pajamas and said “I need to wear my slippers!”
I said, “oh for sure” and she said “no, for night!”
