These Kids Crack Me Up!

Game Night:
Last night, Ethan declares that we need a Game Night every week and Game Night should be on Wednesday (since it was Wednesday) and further, he declared, we should play Chutes and Ladders on this Game Night.

"Ok," I said, "get in your jammies, teeth brushed, and clean up all the Lincoln Logs and we'll play."
(As any seasoned Mother knows, the chance to get your kids to do exactly what you want, and speedy-quick is right before they get to do something they really want!)

So Ethan and Evelyn proceed to clean up all the Lincoln Logs, in such a rush that Alex's carefully built log house got razed. Alex starts to cry (what else is new?).

Ethan (peeved): "Alex! It's Game Night! Not Cry-Over-Lincoln-Logs Night!"

Signs of Candyland:
Evelyn walks into the office with her pants down just over her butt.

Me: "Evelyn, why is your butt sticking out?"
Evelyn: "Because that's the sign that it's time to play Candyland! And since you already saw my butt, c'mon, it's time to play!"

OMG!
