Example 1: Joseph told Emma that she was fired. (He frequently fires us from our respective positions in the family). Without hesitation and with a totally straight face, she told him that was just fine. She had been interviewing and had several other very appealing offers for Emma positions.
Example 2: Conversation between Micah and I.
Me: (Calling out to him as I was walking down the hallway past his bedroom). MICAH!! Stop pretending your name is Geoooorge.
Micah: Why?
Me: Because! I SAID!
Micah: (Yelling back) But I liiiiike the name George.
See what I mean? We are really weird and they respond, unhesitatingly, with their own weirdness. It's pretty much the best evidence ever that we are incredibly awesome at this parenting gig.
Example 3:

No further explanation is needed. Crazy breeds crazy.

HA! I love Emma's smart comeback. You guys ARE crazy... and it's one of my favorite things about your family. :)
ReplyDeleteThat picture is awesome and hysterical.
I find craziness very endearing.
ReplyDeleteI find craziness very endearing. Also, if you recall, Emma interviewed with me for an 'Emma' position. She didn't take the job though.
