The Inspiration

We were visiting my parents and my grandmother was there. As we were leaving to head home, our 5-year-old kept hugging his great-grandmother over and over and telling her, "I just can't stop hugging you!" My grandmother was loving it! After a couple of minutes of this, we were finally able to convince him to join us in the car to leave. Giving her one last squeeze, he said to his great-grandmother, "Bye! Call me when you die!"

This is our inspiration. The truly hilarious, way-better-than-fiction, actual sayings and experiences with the wee little folk around us is what this blog is all about. We invite you to share the joy!

Inappropriate Children's Toy?

The latest craze at our house with our 6 and 7 year old sons are Beyblades. These whirling, spinning battling tops became a favorite topic after the brothers got them from Santa in their stockings. Our 10 year old daughter, A, seemed really rather taken aback with the whole thing, although she seemed to think the Beyblades were kind of entertaining.

A few days ago when I was talking to my boys about them, she heard me talking about the toy, and finally our birds and bees-educated girl just couldn't stand it anymore.

A: "What is that toy called?"
Me: "A Beyblade."
A: "Ohhhhhhh! All this time I thought you and the boys were calling it a Babe Laid!

No... no, we weren't!
