Sofia: What would happen if you didn't have a mouth?
Tim: You couldn't poop.
Kris: Gross! Dad means to say you couldn't eat, Sofia.
Sofia: And then you couldn't poop?
Kris: Well, yes, that's right.
Gabe: And you wouldn't have a home for your teeth!
Sofia: And your tongue!
Gabe: And your tonsils!
Sofia: And your lungs!
Kris: What? Wait --
(Conversation disintegrates from there...)
Gabe: Mom! I just saw a car that was illegally parked.
Kris: What? How do you know?
Gabe: Because, Mom, (with an eye roll) -- I READ the sign!
Sofia: Mom, are you really old?
Kris: (laughs) Older than you are honey, but not REALLY old.
Sofia: Are you George Washington old?
Kris: (laughing again, remembering her cousins just took her to Mount Vernon) No, sweetie, I am not George Washington old.
Sofia: So you're not going to die soon, right?
Kris: That's right. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
Sofia: Mom, I want braces.
Kris: What? Why? We're going to hope you don't need braces.
Sofia: Because they're pretty, Mom.
Kris: Who do you know that has braces Sofia?
Gabe interjects with clear "duhhh" tone in his voice: Charles, Mom. Remember? Charles has braces.
In re-reading these conversations, I'm realizing I sure say, "What?" an awful lot. I'm sure that's true. The kids are always saying things that stop me in my tracks. They must think I'm deaf. lol!

So cute!
Jane put my "followers" on my blog when she was here and I know yours is wrong as well as Bill's. I 'll try to correct it but if I can't, you can do it when next you come here.
K - they are too stinkin' cute and clever for their own good. :)
Adorable.
I'm finally catching up on blogs! I just love being able to read the conversations that I miss with you living so far away, but it also makes me miss you all even more! Is Gabe getting ready for school? Eli goes back tomorrow- but I don't!! :)
