“Mom, you said I can be anything I want when I grow up, right?” asked Cody last night. “Yes, you can be anything you want,” I agreed. “I want to be a McDonald’s worker,” he proclaimed. “A McDonald’s worker?” I stammered. “Yes, what’s wrong with that?” he demanded. “Nothing,” I said. “But you can do [...]

While I was gone on another training trip this weekend, the kids’ dad, Glen, took them out for cheeseburgers. “Dad, look at this,” said 6-year-old Logan, as he pulled sesame seeds off the top of his bun. “I’m picking the seeds off of my cheeseburger so I can plant them and grow more cheeseburgers!”

After a showdown with Cody this evening, in which I gave him several opportunities to stop arguing with me before taking away the object of his desire, Logan decided to issue a threat of the most dire kind. “Mom,” he said, looking at me gravely. “If you don’t give Cody another chance, I’m going to [...]

While on the way to pick the girls up this afternoon, Logan became unusually quiet. “Are you awake back there?” I called. A short silence ensued before he answered. “Yes, Mom. I’m still at 100%. I’m always at 100%”

1. On weekends or other free mornings, your kids inevitably wake up at an unearthly hour, making it difficult, if not impossible, depending on their age, for you to catch a few extra zzs. 2. Conversely, on school mornings or when they have to get up by a certain time, your kids are sure to [...]

Logan’s ongoing and long-term baby obsession has taken on a new low. Called to school to pick up the aforementioned child early because he had an on-again, off-again headache and tummy ache, I was leading my offspring, who didn’t seem sick at all, past the playground on our way to the van when his kindergarten [...]

“Who’s there?” I answered Cody. “Owl,” he replied. “Owl, who?” I dutifully answered. “Who else would you expect to be there?” he laughed. I must have looked puzzled because he said, “Don’t you get it? An owl says ‘who’!” Evidently he doesn’t quite get the concept of a knock knock joke, but he’s well on [...]

Logan and I arrived early at the K-5 spring concert yesterday afternoon, a rarity for me, who is always running 5 minutes behind. We stood in the doorway looking for the kids’ grandma. She found us before we even saw her. “I was looking for you in the bleachers,” she told me. I gave her [...]

How many times a day do you find yourself saying the following (or at least feeling like it’s daily)? * No more tattling. * Eat your food. * Don’t hit your brother/sister. * Pick up your socks/shoes/backpack/coat/toys. * Wash your hands. * Stop tattling. You know I hate tattling. * Get back in bed. * [...]
