I'm putting my kids in the funnies

There are many reasons to love kids. And there are many reasons to love my kids. They are funny, cute, sweet, and brutally honest.

For instance....

Recently home from school, Cade initiates an interesting conversation:
"Mom, do you know Mrs. C? I like Mrs. C. She's a nice teacher. I like Mrs. W., too. But not Mrs. L.
"Why don't you like Mrs. L?"
"She's only sometimes nice and has a loud yelling voice when she's mean. You know, kind of like you."
"Hmmm. Sounds like I need to work on being nicer, don't I?"
{Savvy pipes in}
"Well Mom, you're doin' the best thatcha can. It's a lot of work takin' care of us wifout Daddy. We know you're trying your hardest to be nice."

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at that one. I may have done a little of both.

Here's a sweet conversation I had with Sav the morning after we took Kyle back to the airport.

"Mooom. I miss Daddy. I miss him too much."
"You should probably call him today and tell him that."
"I know. But I don't want to."
"Why not?"
"Because. Whenever I tell him I miss him, he tells me he misses me more, and I don't want him to tell me that because it's not true. I miss him more."

And for the cute:

"Oh my heart is so excited, it doesn't want to wait! It's so excited to see what it's like to play soccer!"
