Thoughts on Life

Here's one that should make our Grandma's happy.
Mac and Jilli were looking at a pamphlet with a bunch of headshots on it.
Jilli: "Grandma" (pointing to one of the faces)
Mac: (looking over her shoulder) "That's not our grandma. That lady is old."

The boys started riding the bus this year and each day they ride it I go outside and wait for them to arrive. After one particular day Mac greeted me with:
Mac: "Mom, it's embarrassing when you wait for us outside."
And then when he could tell that it hurt my feelings (could it have been my bottom lip quivering? :) he followed up with
Mac: "I mean I like it, it's just a little embarrassing, but I do like it, mom!"
Needless to say I haven't been back outside to wait for them.

Kristi told me about a conversation that she had with Beckam on the way home from school.
Kristi: (to Kylene) "Hey sweetheart!
Beckam: "Sweetheart?!?"
Kristi: "Yeah, that's what I call Kylene sometimes. What does your mom call you other than Beckam?"
Beckam: (After thinking thoughtfully for a second) "She calls me her Sunshine and she says "Hi Sunshine!" to me."
