Grantism, Claireism, and Tessism

One day this week (following the time change), Grant came home with his school work. In his math class, the students have 1 minute to complete a page of 25 math problems. Grant usually completes them all, but this time, he had only completed about 15 of the 25. I asked him what happened and he replied, "I don't know, the minute seemed really short. I think maybe the minute got messed up because of the time change on Sunday."

Our neighbors had a Halloween light display. Our kids loved to go look at it. One time, Claire kept walking up closer and closer to their front door. I told her to come back and she replied, "Do you think I'm a burglar or something?!"

The other day, in preparation for becoming a nurse, Jessica was shadowing at one hospital and then volunteering at Mission Arlington's medical clinic. As I was taking care of the kids, Tessa asked, "Where's mommy?" Since she was doing things preparing her to be a nurse, I said, "Mommy's at work." Tessa looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Mommy's not a boy!"
