Overheard

We sent Strider into the bathroom to teach Colsen how to wash his hands properly, and this is what we heard:
"Ok, Colsen, at the beginning you always have to shake your butt for good luck. Good. Ok, then you get some water...."


You know it was a fun craft time last night (some teenaged friends of ours coordinated it while we adults had a discussion at our small group), when Rayna said on the way home:
"We were, like, raining glitter!!"


Strider wanted to know how Uncle Deuce came up with his nickname, so he asked him. Later I heard him explaining it to Pete in a very dubious tone:
"Dad, Uncle Deuce says he's called Deuce because he has the strength of 2 men. But I don't think that's true."


Colsen jubilantly showed Rayna his new contraption -- an old camera, which he always calls his phone, now in his pocket with a rubber band around it:
"It's my clipper phone! Just like mans have! Like Mr. Soup's!"
