Children

A few observations:

Dateline 14.02.09

10AM
Me: Sarah, please stop climbing on the couch
Sarah: (From her perch upon the top of the couch) I'm NO-OT!

7PM
Mike: Sarah, no running in the house
Sarah: (Skidding to a halt) I'm NOT, I'm just walking fast.

8pm
Sarah: (Doing something annoying which her parents are attempting to ignore: "WHAT???"

8:30 pm
Me: (While Sarah is attempting for the 5th time to insert a whoopee cushion beneath my backside) Will you please stop that - I am getting to be in a crabby mood.
Sarah: Says nothing and continues her attempt to get mom to make a funny farting noise
Mike: Sarah! Did you hear what Mom JUST said to you?
Sarah: What? I didn't know what you meant.

We also have a few new residents in this house:

The one who manages to spread slimy toothpaste spit from one end of the bathroom to the other and to wipe it on everybody else's personal towels.

The one who uses up all the toilet paper, except for the last two squares which are glued to the roll, so that it isn't necessary to replace it.

The one who never, never, never closes the back door - leaving it wide open so as to heat the entire neighbourhood.

Cheers,
Margo
