Snippets
Talking with children on the phone...
Me: "So, what was my hairspray doing in your bedroom?"
Angsty Boy:"How should I know?"
Me: "Well, I found it in one of your drawers..."
Angsty Boy: "Ok, hypothetically, this could be why it was there...."
--------------------------------
Me: "I found a spoon and a Gerber multitool in your room. Something had been burned on them. Do you know about that?"
Emo Boy: "Oh, I found those on the way home. I meant to tell you about it."
Me: "Um, No. Those were ours."
Emo Boy: "Oh."
Me: "...?"
--------------------------------
Talking with hubby about the packing
Me: "I discovered when I was packing my classroom, that if I sort it all out and just fill boxes as stuff is found, it works better. It takes a longer and it's a mess, but then it comes together all at once and it's organized."
Hubby: "Cool."
*later*
Hubby: "Oh, just shove all their clothes into one box. They're going to share a room anyhow and they can sort it out themselves.... Why are you giving me that look?"
*later still*
Hubby: "See, just don't even bother sorting that. It's already packed. Throw some tape on it and call it good... Why are you giving me that look again?"

After watching Black Sheep
Hubby: "That was a wonderfully horrible movie. It was so horrible I think I want to watch it again."
