Just Plain Funny

Yesterday, Brant and I were sitting at the table eating. Madison and Porter come in at a full run. Madison is chasing Porter. She's yelling at him, trying to get him to stop. After they've made two full circles through the living room, kitchen, and entry way, I tell them to stop. I ask Porter, "What did you do? Did you take something from her."

He says, "No!"

"Madison," I say. "What happened?"

She replies, "I just want to be a princess, Mom."

I think for a minute and say, "Okay. You can be a princess. But what does this have to do with Porter?"

"He won't hold my hand!" She whines. "And if he doesn't hold my hand, I can't be a princess!"

Porter jumps in, "But I don't want to hold her hand!"

I talked to her into letting Lane hold her hand so she could be a princess. That was a satisfactory arrangement to all three.

I fried eggs for the kids yesterday morning. While I was cutting Porter's eggs, he starts screaming, "Aaahh! Aaahh!" (like someone is killing him.)

"Porter!" I snap. "Stop screaming bloody murder."

"It's not me!" he says in agony. "It's the eggs! You're killing them."
