Caleb and I were having a goofy "competition." He was trying to gross me out, and I was responding with things he detests.
Caleb: Pumpkin Pie!
Mom: Eww! MUSTARD!
Caleb: Moths!
Mom: Earwigs!
Caleb: Gavin staying awake all night for weeks!
Mom: You win.

Snack time!
(Frustrating) Conversation in Scrivnerburg:
Gavin: Can I ha snack?
Mom: Yes, you can have a snack. What do you want for a snack?
Gavin: Snack.
Mom: Okay. What do you want to eat?
Gavin: Snack.
Mom: What do you want to eat?
Gavin: I want a snack.
Gavin: Can I ha snack?
Mom: Yes, you can have a snack. What do you want for a snack?
Gavin: Snack.
Mom: Okay. What do you want to eat?
Gavin: Snack.
Mom: What do you want to eat?
Gavin: I want a snack.
Well, duh. He wants a snack. He must be Ken's boy - *what* he eats doesn't matter as much as the fact that he *does* eat.

Gesundheit!
Conversation in Scrivnerburg:
Kristi (in a disgusted tone): "Dad! My cat just sneezed on my feet!"
Nathan: "That's good! 'They' say it's good luck when a cat sneezes on your feet!"
Everyone in the room looks at Nathan incredulously.
Nathan: "What?!? I had to make her feel better about it!"

Labels, labels

We amuse me.

Master Manipulator
I've been traveling all day with my husband and my brother.
Quote of the day from my brother Michael:
We are not troublemakers. I would never encourage that.

He continues...
I just manipulate the trouble that's already there.

Happy 4th of July!
A Scrivnerburg Postulate:
If Gavin holds an object it becomes his.
Therefore, if he carries the hamburger buns in from the car they become his own personal property, suitable for play, cuddles, and leaving on the floor.
This has been a public service announcement.

On a related note - we need more hamburger buns.

I can't think straight
Conversation Scrivnerburg:
Kristi: "I can't think."
Mom: "I believe you think just fine."
Kristi: "Sometimes I think fine. Sometimes I can't think straight."
Kristi again: "Sometimes I think sideways."
Kristi: "I can't think."
Mom: "I believe you think just fine."
Kristi: "Sometimes I think fine. Sometimes I can't think straight."
Kristi again: "Sometimes I think sideways."
Never has she made a more true statement.
