It’s not the first or the last time I say this: you’re my favorite.

Bahahahahahahaha. We trained her well.

We’re introducing our kids to the top notch movie “kindergarten cop.”

our kid said “wait: is that really his sister?”

I said: “no. They’re police officers pretending.”

Our kid said “why is she lying?”

And my husband said “that’s what police officers do.”

😬😳😳😳😬

STOP.

I got an email from @theodramatist.com about our cat. But it was was really from our kids who took Chris’ iPad to play “veterinarian.” (They also trapped two out of three cats in a room for this game).

It’s a weird and wild world.

I do love that the “Game” is capitalized. That’s appropriate.

They’re FINE.

STOP. I’m cheering for my boys.

A police officer in leather jacket with moustache who is visibly not 38 but in his 50s or even 60s.

To really show you how things have changed from the early 90s, this police officer from Home Alone was 38 years old.

So… I was watching a reel of Amy Grant singing a Christmas song. And my kid says “is this a country song?” No. “Is this rap song?” No. “Is this a Romance song?” (And then I just laughed)

Right? I feel like God sings this song every day. (And still loves us)

@theodramatist.com

Overheard my five year old making up her own song in the bathtub. The words were “oh yeah, yeah: people are dumb dumb dumb. People are dumb. People are so so dumb.”

I love when Christians say stuff like this as if it’s not the actual point of Advent. (Posted by my CATHOLIC aunt btw)

She also said that the upcoming Christmas pageant is “the most important thing she’s ever done.”

Our 9 year old let me know that she’s talking to her gym teacher about “going back to church” she said “I told him he should go to dad’s church!” @theodramatist.com and I are raising evangelists and I don’t even care if that’s a brag.

The child I have with @theodramatist.com just said:

“It’s weird to think that we’re mammals. Because, like: we could’ve been fish.”

I just fixed a non-working garbage disposal ALL by myself: while holding a flashlight from my mouth.

Plz. Bow because I am a QUEEN.

Yeah. But I had to real quick make a skeet about my dad.

You had a wild night, huh?

Staying at my parents house tonight. There are THREE bathrooms in this house: and I just found my dad brushing his teeth in the kitchen.

My five year old asked me at bedtime “mom. Does God love the Devil?”

(The answer here is ‘yes.’)

But the point of this post is to say: keep asking questions like a five year old: and never ever stop.

@theodramatist.com

Our five year old has discovered “The Greatest Showman”
I caught her today making up her own song that had these lyrics “It doesn’t matter what you look like, it doesn’t matter what you sound like: God loves you: and you should be you: because you are so cool.”

Just overheard my 9 year old say “WELL I’M NOT GOING TO BE A PRIEST.”

Fair, girl, fair.

@theodramatist.com folded laundry and put some of our 8 year olds clothes in my pile thinking they were my size. I’ve never loved him more. (But also: WUT.)

Oh. They’re your kids too @theodramatist.com

My kids played “church camp” for literally 6 hours today and I am so happy.

I made this quilt a few months ago: in response to the current political landscape. The title is “who’s my neighbor?” It’s relevant every day, but especially today.
