Setting- after dinner.
Kids ate cheesy chicken & broccoli rice.
Must have bath.
The Hubs in is in our bathroom (we only have one- our house is 80 years old)
Me: Em, can you go knock on the door to the bathroom and tell daddy you all need to take a bath?
(Em runs to the bathroom, some sort of dialogue happens, and comes back)
Me: Well, what did daddy say?
Em: I tell daddy we need take a bath.
Me: What did he say?
Em: I tell daddy we need take a bath.
Me: Yeah, but what did daddy say back to you?
Em, with more inflection (why isn't this lady getting this?): I TELL DADDY WE NEED TAKE A BATH.
Me, sighing (why am I continuing to try to pursue this?): Did daddy say anything to you?
Em: I tell daddy we need take a BATH.
Atticus: Daddy home, mommy! Daddy home!
Just in case you ever wondered why conversations with me seemed so scattered or random. This is what I do all day long.

WOW - this says something about Cole or Em - I'm not sure which :) I ask Cole a question and he gives me some random response that doesn't apply. I ask again and I get the same response. Repeat many many times!! So either Cole is behind, or Em's ahead - or maybe it's just what the kids plan to drive us crazy!
