Children can be creative. It is my job as a parent to teach them to behave properly without squashing their spirit. It is a fine line between those two ideas sometimes.

Here are some Things Said Recently Around Here:

  • Wife: No climbing on the table!
    (This one is common)
  • Me: You can’t have your medicine until you eat some more meat.
    (Gamma likes his medicine a little too much)
  • Wife: There’s a fly in the house.
    Gamma: Where’d it go?
    Wife: Is it in your nose? (kidding, of course)
    (pause)
    Wife: No! Get your finger out of there…the fly is not in your nose.
  • Wife: Do you love me? (sung to the tune from Fiddler on the Roof)
    Gamma: Noooo. (sung back)
    Wife: Boo hoo hoo (pretend crying)
    Gamma: Yes! (he changed his mind)
  • Wife: Do you love daddy? (sung to the tune from Fiddler on the Roof)
    Gamma: Noooo. (sung back)
    Me: Boo hoo hoo (pretend crying)
    Gamma: No! (not changing his mind)

A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Proverbs 17:22
