Whistlers' Mother

"NO PARKOUR ON SUNDAY!!!"
My boys are fans of American Ninja Warrior. I had to yell at Carter on the way out to the car from church today....little dinguses. He was doing it through the church shrubs. It felt a tad disrespectful. More than anything it was a fun thing to shout. It wasn't a really loud screamy shouty yell, more of a slightly higher-pitched admonition. But yes, I did have to consider which one of us was being more irreverent, the parkour-er or the shouter.

Two of my children have picked up Mom's whistling habit. It's as if they're wearing collars with little bells - we can tell right where they are at all times. I was asked to fill in for the Primary piano player today...was playing a song and soon heard someone whistling along with it. I looked over and sure enough, it was my Rosalind. Awwww.

Later: Eatin' lasagna. DON'T JUDGE ME.

George G: I would only judge you favorably for lasagna...
Me: ONLY JUDGE ME FAVORABLY
Erin G: Ha! That's actually what everyone MEANS when they say "Don't judge me".
Me: You are correct madam.
Ernie: How dare you eat lasagna...are ya too good for spaghetti or something ?
Me: Yes. I am. I look down my nose at spaghetti.
Ernie: Me too.. Only stuffed ravioli and manicotti for me please.
Me: Exactly. No ricotta = not happening
Ernie: Do you remember when Gran used to substitute cottage cheese... I felt like haha Gran, stupid great depression.....lol
Me: Yeah but I liked it.
Ernie: Me too
Melissa C: Next FB screen name....Garfield.
Me: I was tossing around Taft actually
Melissa C: Literally? Gross. Mans been dead a century or so.
Me: Which made him easier to toss...he lost quite a bit of weight
Mel: Now I AM judging you. So there.
Me: You CHUBBUCKS
Jami L: Makes a fine breakfast.
Me: It does.
Jason K: There are no judgments, only if that is not vegan style Lasagna.
Me: Five cheeses. All from a COW (unless they slipped something else in there)
Mel: Pot
Me: Pot. Pot?
Jason K: I am sure that Natalie would never let that slip through her keen sense of smell. Besides, I think Brian might have caught it as well. It is legal in that neck of the woods...
Mel: Caught it, but snickered as she ate it...
Me: This being WA, you never know. But I meant sheep cheese or goat cheese or yak cheese
Mel: It is Vegan too, so no worries.
Jason K: horse cheese
Me: Cat cheese
Mel: Horse cheese is better than horse buns. (horse buns horse buns)
Me: I one the horse buns
Jason K: but not as good as hot crossed buns
Mel: I two the horse buns... *snicker*
Me: Maybe there was pot in it.
Mel: At your house? I don't think we need to ask. It's always assumed.
Me: Is it?
Mel: Hee... No.

Later still: I had to shout, NO TWERKING BEFORE FAMILY PRAYER
