Recent witticisms

The funny things kids say are always funnier if you're there--you get the full impact of their voice and inflection, but sometimes you can still get it when it's written down. For example, this evening, Nate was asking Bethany about something she didn't want to answer. She just said, "Just don't worry about it", as she went down the hall.

I think Meagan made up a new word today. Apparently, "Sean's making noise" took too long to say, so she started saying, "He's noising" every time he made a sound. It was really funny.

Another of Meagan's favorite phrases lately is, "Are you serious?" I'm not sure where she picked it up, but for the past several days, she's been asking me that a lot. She'll just randomly walk up to me, and say, "Are you serious?" She asked me that while I was cooking dinner today, and thinking I'd teach her what it means, I said, "Yes, I'm really serious. I mean it." She replied, "Yes, you're mean." Hmmm...not quite what I was trying to convey.
