spy

after reading the word spy in our reading text...

connor: YOU'RE a spy.

me: how do you know?

connor: (with a disgusted look) because you went to russia...and you LIKED it.


if those are the only qualifications for a career in espionage, then i guess he's right.

tickles

"i'm ticklish in places you don't even want to know about."

snake

jaxon: (worried): tyler just told me that people who were born in 2001 will be half snake and half human when they're older.

me: what year were you born?

jaxon: 2001

me: (thinking he was joking) uh oh, jaxon.

jaxon: (expression changing from worry to panic)

me: are you worried about this?

jaxon: a little. i don't want to be a snake.

shower

upon completion of our skeletal system unit, i got this note:

dear miss a,

yesterday when i took a shower i was naming all the bones i was washing.

love,
savanah

name

dominick: i know your real name.

me: that's nice.

dominick: but i'm not allowed to say it here, because that's disrespectful.
BUT!
(with a sly look and a conspiratorial whisper) when i get home...i'm going to say it...a lot...very loud...in my backyard...with my brother

and at that he sat back, with a triumphant look on his face, and continued working on his math, while i was left with the image of dominick and christian in their backyard shouting my first name over and over at the top of their lungs.

i hope he did it.
