Funny things heard around my house this week

Thomas: "Matthew, when you are President of the United States one day, do you promise not to make a law against spinach?"
(Thomas loves the stuff, Matthew loathes it.)

Mary Beth says when I lean over to kiss her lips, "Mommy, please don't mess up my lipstick."

At school the other day, Mary Beth and I put on visitor stickers that happen to be black and white that day. Mary Beth puts hers on her black shirt and says, "The sticker matches my outfit." She then looks at me with a disgusted look on her face while I put the sticker on my red shirt, "But the sticker doesn't match your outfit." The secretary said she would try to give me a matching sticker next time!

me: "Mary Beth, please go put the drink in the fridge."
Mary Beth: "If you do it for me, I will give you a surprise!"
(Wow, I probably use that bribe a little too often!)

Thomas was sad yesterday and Matthew volunteered to help cheer him up by offering his "Bling bling". (a cheap gold necklace from the grocery store).


Matthew filled out his Book About Me. Under what noises he is good at making, he wrote "Beet boxing".

Also on this book, it asked how many beds were in his house. He wrote "2". I almost argued with him until I realized that the boys were sleeping on a palate on the floor until their bunk beds come in (this Sunday! shhh!). Yes, Matthew will have his memory book where he can read forever that our family had 2 beds for 5 people!

This next one is no representation of Matthew's spirituality, I just thought the timing was funny:
(Waking the boys up on Sunday morning)
Thomas rolls over and says, "We get to worship God today!!"
Matthew rolls over and says, "Who won the football games last night?"

Thomas reassured me the other day, "Don't worry Mommy! I am going to go to college, then play a little for the NFL, and then I will come home to live with you again!"
