So I need to write some things down to document the crazy things my kids say...
The other day it was me and the twiners driving around town taking care of somethings while Sam was in school. I know (at least I hope) that one day the two of them will be able to ride in the car, sitting next to each other without trying to kill the other. But, until that day comes this drive was just like all the rest. Brooke started crying for some reason or the other and I look in the rear-view mirror and ask her what's wrong. She replies with the biggest crocodile tears and says that Brody scratched her. Not believing he could even reach her, I glanced at Brody and with his head buried in his hands looking as guilty as ever I ask him why did he scratch her. He replies... 'but mom, my muscles are just so big'! Yes they are son, and I love you!!!
I was lucky on this same drive to get another funny little nugget from them. I had to run into the camera store to return a rented lens and yes I left them in the car - I was gone for literally 90 sec. Anyhow, I returned to the car to once again find Brooke crying (I swear she is such a princess!!). I ask what is wrong and she said that Brody called her 'missy'. I told her there was nothing wrong with that; that was actually a cute name. Brody then says, 'no mom, I called her missy peanut'. To which I reply, 'ahhh, that's cute Brody, you can call me missy peanut.' In his oh-so matter-of-fact tone says, 'no mom, I call you Mama Scott Herrick!' I love it! I'll be Mama Scott Herrick any day!!
