"Michael, Daddy is going away for a few days so it is just going to be you and Mommy. You need to be on your best behavior."
"Mommy, when Daddy gets back can we give him a parade?
I start hysterically laughing. "I don't see why not."
"Mommy, you are laughing at Daddy and it is not nice."

"Mommy, when we move does Foster come with?"
"Yes, because Foster is part of our family. He is our dog and we love him."
"No we don't."
"Michael that's not nice. We don't leave Daddy at the old house when we move. The whole family moves together."
"I don't think we should take Foster."

At an Orioles game, we all know how I feel about mascots. I don't mind the Oriole though, it follows my rules.
"Mommy, where is the sparrow?"
"The what?"
"The sparrow? The bird? On the field?"
"The Oriole?"
"Whatever Mommy. Where is it?"
"Don't say whatever Michael, it is rude."
"Mooooommy, where is the Sparrow?"
"Michael, it is an Oriole and I think it went inside."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
"Why?"
"Sometimes they do that."
"Why?"
"Ask your father, he likes baseball."

Hysterical! Kids are insane. As is, possibly, you.
Do you think Michael would like another dog that looks an awful lot like Foster to come with you as well? Because I have one of those that I am getting pretty annoyed by. And then you’d always have a spare.
The other day Hailey said we should trade the dog in for a bird. The hell?
My kids insist that the Nationals Eagle is a chicken.
They hate it when he goes inside.
