And mercifully, that was so

Saturday night we were all wiped out from having a fun time at church.  I was laying in bed, when I heard Robert start singing.  He was singing at the top of his lungs, and, at first, I couldn't make out the words.  Turns out he was singing a song he made up, "This is that  last loud song of the night!"

And how exactly is this different from every other day?

As their mother prepares for an weather emergency, the boys decide the most pressing issue for them is to play as much Wii as possible, in case the electricity goes out.

That boy knows his chemistry

Jon to Robert:  "Would you rather go to school, or jump in a lake of acid?" After thinking a moment, Robert said, "If it was a lake of vinegar."

Yes, I do

Jon:  Do you think ninja school is a waste of time?

File under: smart kids, dumb actions

Robert thought it was a grand idea to stick a broken pull tab (from a soda can) between his front teeth, while I was driving.  It was stuck for a few minutes, until he managed to get it out of his teeth.  I told him to throw it out of the car window.  We never throw trash out the car window, but I thought I was in serious danger of losing my mind, especially if he decided to do it again, or swallow it accidentally.

Will it ever be enough?

We spent most of the day out, first at IHOP, and then at Chuck E. Cheese.  As we were pulling into the garage, Robert declared, "The whole day wasted!".   His anguished tone made me believe he was serious.  My bulging eyeballs made him think I was serious.  Fortunately for all, he wasn't serious.
