Grace: So Mom...I have to tell you what happened to me yesterday. Well...I was a little out of control and didn't really hear the bell. So...I noticed that my whole class left without me and I had to go to the principal's office so that someone could take me to class.
Grace: Um Mom...I kind of got in trouble today.
Mom: Really??? What happened?
Grace: Well. I was touching Ms. Sousa's stuff and had to go to timeout. She said if I did it again she would send me to the principal's office.
Mom: You know...the whole time I went to school I never went to the principal's office. I was so afraid of getting in trouble. I didn't even want my name on the board.
Grace: Well good for you Mom. My school is much lazier. (?????)
(In the middle of a meltdown after being asked to go put on a tank top and take off the long sleeve shirt in 100 degree weather)
Mom: Emma, I asked you to go put your tank top on. Where is it?
Emma: I don't know. It ran away.
(Shopping for birthday supplies in October means that Emma sees more Halloween monsters than she needs to)
Mom: Just cover your eyes and say "I don't like you."
Emma: Just take me home so I can hide from the monsters.
