Hunter (while watching me sign the bottom of a check): "Mommy, is that your name in French?"

Commercials, and how they affect the rising generation

The other day I was shopping at Costco with my kids. I had to buy a Dawn refill, so I grabbed one and stuck it in my cart. Hunter asked what it was, and I told him I use it for washing dishes and cleaning in the kitchen. He then replied very adamantly, "Mom, you need to buy Oxiclean, because it cleans EVERYTHING, really, Mom, everything. You can use it in the kitchen, bathroom, and for the laundry." I was quite impressed by his Oxiclean knowledge, but not enough to fork out the big bucks :)

And the Best Kid award goes to...

Today on the way to church, my kids were asking me about marriage. Hunter asked why didn't everybody get married. I told him that not everybody found their true love in this life (we watch a lot of Disney movies...). Then he asked if once we get married we have to live with our wife or husband. I told him yes. Then, my sweet little princess spoke up, almost in tears, "But Mommy, I want to live with you forever!" Ha! I've heard other parents tell similar stories, but its never reached out and squeezed my heart like when it was MY child :) Needless to say, she can have whatever she wants!!!
