I’ve gotten slack about writing down the things the boys say thinking, “Oh, I’ll remember this one.” \u00a0Unfortunately, by the time David gets home from work, I can’t even remember what someone said two hours prior. \u00a0I think it’s called occupied brain space. \u00a0So I’m back to scrawling the gist of things on notebook paper. \u00a0That way when I’m retired and have “absolutely nothing to do today” just like the two people at the grocery store yesterday who insisted the other should go first, I’ll be able to hang out and read old quotes and remember these days that are brim full and running over.<\/p>\n

Adam’s Math problems are growing more complicated now that he’s hit fourth grade. \u00a0The other day he had a long addition string that looked something like this: \u00a0 31 + 14 + 27 + N = 90. \u00a0He was laboring over it when he looked up and said, “Do you know how I think of it? \u00a0It’s like straining out the evidence.”<\/p>\n

Stinkbugs are flooding our house, just as they probably are every other house in the country. \u00a0If there’s an area that is still unaffected, let me know. \u00a0I may want to move there. \u00a0Unless you’re further North than I am. \u00a0I declared war with a tissue in hand when Adam piped up from behind me, “Be careful, Mommy. \u00a0These bugs engage in chemical warfare.”<\/p>\n

Liam was sitting on my lap, coloring, when he reached toward the jar of colored pencils rooting through toward the aqua one. \u00a0“I think I’ll choose awkward,” he said. \u00a0If only I didn’t choose that color so often inadvertently. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But the funniest QOTD happened not at our house, but while Liam and I shopped at T J Maxx. \u00a0I rounded an endcap where a twenty something male store associate engaged in animated conversation with a female shopper in her fifties. \u00a0“………And they had one of those ovulating<\/em> fans ……..” \u00a0He didn’t miss a beat, but I heard little else as I shot around the next corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
