Seren: Daddy, can I please get my own BIG coloring book so I can color in it?
Daddy: You mean the coloring book that was one of the items I took away because you didn't clean your room yesterday? Give me one good reason why I should give it back to you.
Seren pleads: Well, Daddy, I have crayons that are waiting to be colored with!
Seren got her coloring book.
Penny: Mommy, Xanderman came from the baby shower, right?
Mommy thinks to self: If they all were gifts from their respective baby showers, did they come with gift receipts??? I think I'm beyond the 90 day timeframe for returns...
No, Seren was not trying to add toothpaste to her cookies, but we did find her in the kitchen with a rolling pin and a tube of toothpaste. Stumped about how to get toothpaste from an almost empty tube, her sisters stood back waiting for Seren to throw a colossal tantrum over who had the tube or the sheer difficulty they faced to remove any gel from the tube, either of which could result in Seren clubbing them or the tube, or all with the rolling pin. However, our Serenity (a.k.a. Volatility) calmly took control of the situation and expertly extracted the gel from the tube of toothpaste by carefully applying pressure from the bottom of the tube to the top using the rolling pin. What a problem solver! Seren saved the day and everyone's teeth that night!
What did the Poop-A-Loo say to the Barf-A-Lo? "Don't eat that."
Seren's self-made joke: Mom, what did the Poop-a-loo say to the Barf-a-lo?
Me (waiting with baited breath): What?
Seren: Hey PEE-P! Get it? Instead of "Dude", it's "Peep", with P-E-E!
Ok, I wasn't around to hear this one, but received the texted experience. It went roughly like this:
Seren (in van on the ride home from school) explains to Mike in a long-winded manner that Xander is asleep.
Mike asks Seren to hand Xander his bottle.
Seren: Daddy, I just got through telling you Xander was asleep.
Mike: I have a lot of things going on right now and I didn't quite hear everything you said.
Seren: I know what it is, SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS (much emphasis on the phrase).
Mike: Why do you think that?
Seren: Because Dory on Finding Nemo has short term memory loss...
Mike: (grumbles that he's been compared to Dory on Finding Nemo).
