My Little Creationist
Ah.... the huge sigh that bursts from my motherly lungs...
I bought some cereal with a gorilla pictured on the front. And instead of saying "ba-puh!" (his word for grandpa...), he points to it and tries every animal he knows.... bear? doggy? MEOW!!! (not moose... he knows it's not a door hinge.)
He already knows that a gorilla is an animal, not an ancestor. I pitty anyone who tries to tell him he evolved from a monkey.

Annoying Myself
Man Ian and Clark! You guys are big enough I shouldn't have to pick up after you all day!!!
...I wish I could be upset at them right now. They're perfect angels and make my day so much brighter and easier.
Nope... it's me. Don't you love it when all your pet peaves are things you constantly do to yourself?
I unloaded the dishwasher, put Clark down for a nap and then walked back into the kitchen to see half the cabinet doors wide open. I was the only one home at the time tall enough to reach them, so I squelched the urge to be annoyed at it, nicely closed the cabinets, then...
CRUNCH!! I turned around and stepped right onto a crumbly biscuit I hadn't yet swept up from Clark's breakfast. I swallowed hard and told myself I couldn't really be upset at something that was my fault, so I turned around, walked into the open dishwasher, realized I had put last night's dishes in the sink - without running the garbage disposal, had to touch nasty old food, and then went to wash the counters to find STICKERS. I made an apple pie and stuck all the stickers from the apples directly to the countertop.
I found this equation written in crayon in my home-ec book:
Mom + produce stickers + countertops = I get raisins for desert tonight!
Okay, so I didn't really, but we did live on the edge and welcome raisins back into the house, much to the tot's delight.
