I Want My Shrimp With Tails!!!

As I mentioned in my previous post, my "devils" are back to normal. There is this nightly event when Ethan cries about everything that is served for dinner and Carter ends up with more dinner on the table and the floor than in his mouth...then there is Alec who is there to bully and encourage the others to continue in their antics!!! In this episode, I actually had the camera nearby to capture a typical dinner at our home.

It all began with a trip to Costco yesterday morning...I saw the frozen shrimp and thought to myself..."We haven't had shrimp in a long time...I bet my family would really be excited and enjoy this dinner tonight. They will just love me for the delicious dinner I am going to fix for them. I will make a homemade butter and parmesan creme sauce and add some of their favorite vegetables..."

Boy was I wrong... I need to quit dreaming! Here is just a taste of the drama beginning with Ethan..."I only like my shrimp with the TAILS on them!! blah...blah...blah" I have a video of the drama unfolding...but I'm having trouble getting it to upload. Jolayne...I need your help!!

Deep Thoughts of a Six Year Old

"So who is the first person the baby sees when she comes out of you?"

"When we ate food in the pre-mortal life, our food would fall out of our bodies just after we ate it."

"When we were spirits in heaven and we gave High 5's, Our hands just went right through each other"

"Mom, If I don't get married by the time I'm old, I will just go on a Mission."

"From now on, I'm going to be a 'Thumb's up' guy." What does that mean Ethan? "Than I'm not gonna wet my pants anymore. "

Second Day of Kindergarten:
Teacher: "...and this is the class kitchen"
Ethan: "But this is fake!" "When are we going to the real kitchen?"

"Mom, Can we buy a dog that isn't certain?" What are you talking about Ethan? "You said that you are allergic to certain dogs, so I want to get one that isn't certain."

"Mom, Are you gonna color your hair soon? I'm tired of looking at that dark brown hair. I want it to be lighter...like red."

"I don't like Sundays!" "Why can't we stay home from church like everyone else?" Who is everyone else? "All the people that ride their bikes and play golf !"

" Mom, do we get closer to dying the older we get?" "Yea. I guess so." "So grandma and grandpa are closer to dying than me and Carter?" "Yea. I guess you can say that."

"What was the first bathroom ever???" "I don't know, Ethan? I give up." "Grass and trees!"

"We need to get BAM Toilet Unclogger...it unclogs toilets and drains and cleans stains!!"

"If spiders weren't invented...would flies rule the whole earth?

"I wish I could make 3 copies of myself in a clone machine so if a mean guy tried to take me away, he wouldn't know which Ethan to take."

"If I get bit by a spider...will I be able to climb walls and ceilings?

"Where can we buy 5 teleporters? I bet we can go to a teleporter store" Why do you want 5 teleporters, Ethan? "So we can go to Hawaii."

"I didn't wet my pants...just my underwear."
"
"Hey mom I just found Saturn in my cereal bowl! See the planet..and there's the ring."

"Mom, Did you know that SPACE PACK storage bags are guaranteed to lock out dirt, bugs and moisture. You can store seasonal items and they are made of nylon." "So do you want them or not?"
