Biology

Eight-year-old Sarabeth: "Mommy, my digestive system already has a lot to carry. I can't eat the rest of my pancakes."

Enough is Enough

Four-year-old Christopher, after doing a few workbook pages with me: "Mommy, I am not available to do any more of this."

Career Choices

Eight-year-old Sarabeth:  "Mommy, I might not be a fashion designer after all. I might be a mythological scientist."

Location, Location, Location

Love your snow creation, Christopher...

Well, When You Put It That Way

Mommy: "Sarabeth, do you want to pay me to put your dishes in the dishwasher, or do you want to do it?"

Moment of Silence

Sarabeth, cheerfully: "Oh, I'll do that."

In school, Christopher saw a photo of Icelanders cutting up a whale. This made him sad. He explained, "I don't like them doing that to one of God's creatures."

Hawaiian Holiday

Took Sarabeth to hear Handel's "Messiah" at Christmas when she was eight....
She asked if we could leave right after the "Honolulah Chorus."
