Poor child

--------------------------------------
Me: Your brother is a baby and he cries less than you do.

Sam: That's because when he cries, you feed him. When I cry, you tell me to stop crying.

OK...so you got me there...
--------------------------------------
Sam: There's some horrible creature in the pantry closet.

Me: Like what, a mouse?

Sam: NO...Daddy says there is a horrible creature in there...not a mouse.

Horrible creature in the pantry closet=excellent place to hide Christmas presents (and years worth of therapy)
--------------------------------------
R: Do you like school so far?

Sam: I HATE school!

R: What do you hate about it?

Sam: Homework!

Kindergarten homework...it only gets worse from here kid.

Sorry, just got done with classes this week. Sam is right. We need to change Kindergarten.

Oh, Sam has inherited his mommy's quick wit and way with words! That first one makes me laugh and laugh. :-)

The homework part? That doesn't make me laugh. Sigh.

Mom

My mom insisted on living independently. She wanted to live in the two-story house she and my dad built in the 70s, despite the fact that da...
