Don't Laugh...

Tonight at dinner, my wife AJ was teaching our 5 year old to sound out the word 'man' and spell it. Then my wife says, "Daddy is a man."

S (3) looks right at AJ, put he hand on her hip, take her other hand and flicking her wrist forward and points right at AJ: "Don't call him that! He's a Daddy NOT a man!" (in quite the sassy voice).

I started to laugh, but wanted to hold it back because I didn't want to embarrass S. I had a my hand over my mouth but couldn't stop it.  I started snorting because I couldn't contain my laugh as S was staring down AJ.

By this time all the kids are looking at me and they start to laugh because of the way I'm snorting. The older two figured out why I was laughing.

But S turns to look at me, without knowing why I was snorting. In innocent excitement because I was snorting and she was missing it, she says: "Do it again Daddy! Do it again!"

And with that, I really started laughing.

Who slobbers?!?

So after the girls and I were done saying our evening prayers together. I gave them all a kiss goodnight. 'L' asks: Mom why don't you kiss on the lips?

Me: Because I just don't. I don't know.

'L': But you kiss Daddy on the lips....... oh but wait. He slobbers.

Me: What? Daddy doesn't slobber.

'L' Yes he does.

Me: laughed. Okay.

I tried to stand up for you babe. I know you don't slobber, but your almost 8 year apparently knows better than I. We may need to start praying more and harder.

Hypothesis Tested

Apparently, on the kids TV show "Dinosaur Train" on PBS they talk about "testing hypotheses" on the episodes. They propose experiments and then test them to see if the hypothesis is true or not. 

So tonight at dinner, E (5 yrs old) says out of the blue: "Dad, I have a hypothesis to test" [she pronounced it high-pop-isis].

Me: "Oh, what's that"

E: "I have a hypothesis that we can have rice crispy treats for dessert." 

Me: "I think we should definitely test that hypothesis."

And we did.
