For Rochelle, from The Journal:
"Dad is being so mean to me! He called me a smart alec tonight. (Psh) Whatever an 'alec' is. (Yes, because that wasn't smart Alec at all...wonder why he would've called me that. Meanie.)
"I'm SO upset! Last night, I closed with Brian (A guy from work who I swore to marry one day...never happened.), and we got into a big fight. See, first, he ate my cookie...." What???

Other Randomness:
:::walking back to class from a meeting::: "Wait, there were five of us, where did the other person go?...one, two, three, four...Oh...yeah, we're five people. Good thing I chose accounting." -- Me
My four year old niece ten minutes after my eight year old lost a tooth -- "Aunt Mandy, I keep pulling and pulling, but why won't my tooth come out?"
After School:
Warrick: Mommy, I'm the best at science in my whole class!
Huston: And I'm the fastest reader!
Madilynn: And I'm the best at being have! (She thinks when I tell her to behave, I'm saying to be have.)
My niece: And I'm the shortest!
Emma's teacher: We finally got assigned seating. With four year olds, it takes some time because some personalities just don't need to sit near each other.
Me: Emma, I saw where you sit at school.
Emma: Yeah, I sit on ducks, but I used to sit on boats.
Me: :::I knew that teacher was talking about my kid!::: Were you fighting with someone?
Emma: :::The kid who can kick anybody's ass::: Well, some kid pushed me.
Me: So...what did you do?
Emma: Nothing. Until the next day and I punched him.
Is it wrong that I'm a little proud of this? Yes. The answer is yes. So I only cheered for her silently in my head, while I told my daughter that we don't hit anyone, even if they have it coming.
