I have a rule at dinner that you have to eat as many bites of food as you are in age. So for Hannah, 6 bites. For Noah, 3. Here's what happened:
Me: Hannah, you need to eat 6 bites of your soup before you can get up from the table.
Hannah: Well, then I guess you need to eat 32 bites before you can get up, mommy!
Me: uh...ok.
Here are a few more...
Me: Noah, tie your shoes. I mean, Hannah tie your shoes!
Hannah: Mommy, it's ok that you forgot my name. You're old. You forget things.
Me: I'm not old! I'm 32! Oh good grief. I'm arguing with a 6-year-old.
Hannah: Mommy, am I going to die?
Me: Well, at some point, yes. But not for a very long time.
Hannah I'm glad you're going to die before me so I can see what happens.
Me: Well, I'm glad I could help you out.
Hannah: I lost my first tooth!
Me: Yea! Go put it under your pillow and the tooth fairy will bring you a quarter.
Hannah: Mommy, I know you and daddy are the tooth fairy. And instead of a quarter can I have an IPad?
Me: Uh...no.
