notable quotes

some notable quotes heard around our house lately

"not fair!"
-- Jillian, when the rules of our mancala game meant I ended up with more rocks than her (this is a common quote from Jillian used almost every day when she feels there has been an injustice against her...which is often)

"what's the point of that?"
-- Kyle, when I told him even though we had computers back when I was in school, the internet didn't exist yet

"what's the point of that?"
-- also Kyle, when he found an old 500MB USB key...he wondered why they made one so small

"it's Kyle's fault!"
-- Jillian, when I told her to stop flipping over the couch (I should note at the time she said this Kyle was sitting at the other end of the couch playing his video game...)

"STOP JUMPING ON THE COUCH!"
-- me, to Leah, several times a day

"it's okay that you yell sometimes mommy, we all make mistakes"
-- Leah, when I apologized for losing my temper and yelling when I got frustrated (my sweetie-pie!)

"I know"
-- Leah, whenever I tell her she's smart, sweet, funny or anything along those lines...gotta love the confidence of a 4 year old

"for 2 matching hair ponies, is it okay if one yellow has sparkles and one doesn't?"
-- Jillian, while braiding Leah's hair

And my favourite...

"I tried a tall blond but I didn't like it"
-- Jeff (a non-coffee, non-tea drinker), when he told me what he ordered at starbucks during a breakfast meeting...I suggested he stick with short brunettes
