Dropping the kids off at school…
Me: Bye Ada!  I hope you have fun at your field trip!
Ada: OK!  I hope you look good at work…
You seriously need a healthy dose of self-confidence to be a mom.

Me: Eli, breakfast is ready.
Ada: Breakfast is deserved.
Me: You mean breakfast is served.
I think she meant what she said… 

Eli’s looking out the car window at some crazy clouds
Eli: It’s like the white clouds are the cops and dark clouds are the robbers.  And the cops always win.

Ada: My hair’s getting hard to brush.  Can I get it cut?
I like her thinking…
Me: Yes.
Ada: Before school?
It’s 8:30 on a Tuesday morning, so… no.
