Overheard in the New Year

HAPPY 2010!!!  We celebrated the New Year in Cincinnati at my parent's place.  As always we had a great time, and visited some cool places.  The Children's Museum is an absolute MUST for anyone with the under 4 foot set, and we also discovered a new place:  EnterTrainment Junction.  For any train enthusiast this place is da bomb!  Even Aidan admitted it was cool:  "Mum, when you told me about this place I thought it would be boring, but it's really cool!"

Speaking of the things they say..... here are some random tidbits from over the holiday:

Aidan & Quinn were playing with Aidan's new electricity set.  Aidan yells out:  "Quinn!  Don't do it that way - you'll get electrocuted!"

Quinn (rather sullenly):  "So?"

Aidan:  "If you get electrocuted, you'll die and then I'll have no one to play with."  (clearly we know where the child's priorities are)

Quinn:  "No, you'll still have Shannon to play with."

Aidan:  "Yeah, but she just destroys everything...."

------

Aidan & Quinn were in the back of the car on Christmas Eve talking about Santa.

Quinn:  "Santa only gives presents to kids"

Aidan:  "No, grown-ups get presents too."

Quinn:  "No, Mummy & Daddy don't get presents from Santa!"

Aidan:  "Yeah they do - Mummy & Daddy are AWESOME!"

Shannon & me arguing over dinner:

Me:  "Shannon, it's simple.  Once you eat your dinner, then you can have dessert."

Shannon:  "No, it's NOT simple!"

The things these kids say.......
