Dinner time is one of my favorite times of day because it's the one time we all sit together and have a conversation. Actually "conversation" is a pretty loose term when we are speaking of a 7 and 5 year old. Emma has the funniest sense of humor. She doesn't speak too often and sometimes that can be misconstrued as shy, but she just speaks when she has something good to say, and I might add, with impeccable comedic timing.
Tonight we were discussing healthy food and Jeremy made mention of how he is starting his diet tomorrow. I commented back to Jeremy that this discussion seems to take place every Sunday night and seems to be a common expression. Emma, in defense of her dad (man, she adores him), said, "oh yea mom, your common expression is....kids, get dressed & eat healthy". We all laughed and asked her what Landon's common expression is. "Can I bring my DS?" she replied quickly. She made sure to make fun of herself, as any good comic would do, and said..."here is me...why won't Landon play with me?!"
This is a small glimpse into our daily lives where mom is constantly nagging the kids to get dressed, eat better and behave. The struggle to get Landon to go to school, the store, or even the bathroom without his Nintendo (DS), and the ever so dramatic cries that Emma makes when she wants to play toys with Landon and he just wants to watch TV or play video games. It really is a daily event and I just thought it was so funny that Emma captured it so well!
