Ada’s outfit yesterday

Chad: Eli, you’re going to get hurt.
Eli: Ow! You’re right.

Chad is weed-wacking in the yard and stops for a moment…
Ada: So, dad… you might quiet down.

At P.F. Chang’s
Ada to the waiter: What’s your name?
He answers
Ada: What’s your second name?
He looks at me
Me: She means your middle name.
He answers
Ada: What’s your last name?
Me: I’m sorry, she’s chatty.
Yikes, I hope he doesn’t think we’re going to follow him or something!


Me: Kids, I need to go vote, and you’re going with me.
Eli: Why are you voting?
Me: Because it’s time to vote for a new mayor.
Eli: Why?  Is ours making bad choices?
Me: Well, we just get to vote every four years for the same one, or a new one.
Eli: Who did you vote for?  Is he going to make good choices?
Me: I hope so.
Ada: I think it’s time to vote because our mayor is on vacation.
Eli: ARE WE GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE?!?!?
Me: No and no.

Grace: What’s for supper?
Me: BBQ ribs.
Grace: (beginning to hyperventilate) Mom, I don’t like bbq OR ribs, and I especially don’t like them when they’re together!!
