As some of you may know, I work at home. Being home most days, I see and hear all sort of behind the scene quips that make my family life feel like a crazy, ove
r the top sitcom. A funny, but loving family having everyday adventures. Let me share a few of the gems I’ve overheard just recently, from my office/lare in the basement that make me scratch my head. You can mentally insert a phony laugh-track between each, if you like.
Annie on the phone, in a very serious conversation with her sister:
“Look, Lis, I don’t care! If a vampire loves a vampire that’s fine. If a werewolf loves a werewolf, I'll live with it. But when a werewolf falls in love with a vampire, that’s where I draw the line. It’s unacceptable, they are eternal enemies! It’s going against the natural order of things. No, they could never co-exist! EVER!”
Clark (3) eating a bowl of cereal in the kitchen all by himself in silence:
“This is freaking good.” [long silence and more chewing]
“Mmmmmm. This is really freaking good…”
Ava (7), working child-slave labor for my company:
[storms upstairs, then yells down from the top step]
“I’m going to start my own business, so I can fire you! But I won’t fire you because I won’t even hire you! My business is going to have a party every day, and we’re not going to invite your business, because you guys are boring and had me do stupid stuff! If you ever want my business to help you, I’m going to make you pay tons of money, like five dollars or ten dollars, but then I’ll still tell you ‘NO’!”

First, I would like to ask Ava if I can get in on the ground floor of her business. I need some extra cash, like 5 or 10 dollars. Tell her I'm not boring.
As for strange things my family says, the one I hear most often goes something like this:
Isaac: Alayna, you're 95 years old.
Alayna: Quit calling me numbers! Mom, Isaac's calling me numbers again!
(He's big into math and numbers are his friends. Maybe Ava could hire him as her accountant.)
Brook: Avery you are a turtle.
Avery: NO I AM NOT A TURTLE!
Me: Brook stop calling Avery names, she doesn't think its funny.
Brook: Avery, you are a nice girl.
Avery: NO I AM NOT A NICE GIRL! I'M JUST A GIRL! AND A PRINCESS!
Ahhh. good times.
Kids are hilarious, but kids aside Anne is hilarious! She's absolutely right about the incompatibility between vampires and werewolves by the way. We really need to hang out more!
Todd, We have all been sitting on the edge of our seats for two weeks now waiting for your next post. What are you actually working or something...?
