Convo in Scrivnerburg–March 30, 2012

Conversation in Scrivnerburg:
Nathan: "Mom, Andrew just put his [chewy thing] on the dirty floor and then put it back in his mouth!"
Mom: "That's kinda Andrew's problem, isn't it?"
Nathan: "But it's disgusting!"
Mom: "Says the boy who ate a pepperoni and jelly sandwich for lunch."

Convo in Scrivnerburg–March 5, 2012

Conversation in Scrivnerburg:
Caleb: "Is my room clean enough to play Wii?"
Mom: "Can you put these stuffies somewhere?"
Caleb: "We keep the stuffies on the floor in case our heads fall off our beds. Then we can just grab them and protect our heads."

Convo in Scrivnerburg–January 23, 2012

Conversation in Scrivnerburg:
Andrew: "Can I have a pet monkey?"
Ken: "You can have a pet toothpick. You could call him Splinter."
Ken again: "Or you could get a pet potato and call him Wedgie."
Ken again (to Dale): "You could get a pet piece of Velcro and call him Sticky."
Dale: "No."
Ken: "It's better than calling him Hooker or Loopy."

On the list of the weirdest things I've said:

"Kristi, why are you flossing Nathan's toes?"

Learnin’ ‘em right!

We're learnin' them right at Scrivnerburg Academy. Test review question: Who was the general commanding 8,000 men who was sent against Quebec?
"Oh! I know - General James Bond!"

Hmmm…are they getting this?

Preparing for a test at Scrivnerburg Academy:
Mom - "What two materials were used to make linsey-woolsey fabric?"
Nathan - "Wool."
Mom - "And...?"
Kristi - "Wildcat."
...
Mom - "Okay - what material was used for the 'LINSEY' part of 'linsey-woolsey?"
3 kids - "Thread."
(at the same time) Austin - "Eisenberg."
Hmmm...for some reason I'm thinking no one is getting this lesson.

 

(And just in case you don’t know, it was linen and wool, as the name would suggest.)

Random much?

Random convo with Kristi:
Kristi - "Mom! 36+46=82!"
Mom - "Yes! Hey - 27+34=61!"
Kristi - "Yep." then she walks away as if we just had the most insightful discussion. Funny girl.
