Must be some kind of alien creature...

We were talking about outer space and the planets. I told the kids that nothing lives on any of the other planets. No people, no animals, not even plants.
D said, "Not even a marmoset?"

A real threat

K was angry at Papa. He said, "The next time I sleep over here, I'm bringing rocks so I can throw them at you!"

A man, a plan, a canal...

I was reading "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" to the kids. On one page, it says that Mike Mulligan and Mary Ann dug the canals... I wasn't sure that the kids knew what a canal was, so I asked them.
K answered, "Yeah, a canal is a river that's smelly."
