Scene: Joe and I are in the kitchen. The kids are supposed to be upstairs getting ready for bed.
Joe: What do you think Hayden's doing?
Me: sitting in his underwear and reading Garfield.
Rylie: (yelling down the stairs) MOM!!
Me: Yes?
Rylie: IS IT SHORT SLEEVES OR LONG SLEEVES TOMORROW?
Joe: Let me look. It says cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon. So medium sleeves.
Rylie: What does that even MEAN?
Me: Short sleeves!
Ry: But Joe said long sleeves AND short sleeves.
Me: short sleeves.
Ry: that doesn't make SENSE! Does he want me to wear both?
Me: short sleeves.
Ry: MOM!! I need your help.
Joe: (turns on vacuum) CANT HEAR YOU, VACUUMING!
Rylie: (inaudible)
Us: cracking up
Joe: (turns off vacuum)
Rylie: MOM I still need your help!
Me: what is it?
Rylie: I can't find my pineapple shirt.
Me: (now upstairs) It's in the dryer.
Rylie: but when will it be done?
Me: Tomorrow.
(check on Hayden, who is in his underwear reading Garfield)
Me: Did you brush your teeth and go to the bathroom?
H: yes
Me: are you lying?
H: No.
R: When will my pineapple shirt be ready?
Me: tomorrow.
Joe: go get ready if you want a story.
Ry: (goes to bathroom and shuts door)
Joe: are you writing all this down?
Me: yes. do you think she's actually getting ready?
Joe: I don't know. It's a toss up.
Rylie: (opens door) I heard that.
Rylie: when will my pineapple shirt be ready?
Joe: you better hurry up if you want a story.
Rylie: I think Hayden's lying about brushing his teeth.
H: I am not! Rylie don't take my sleeping bag!
(As Rylie drags his sleeping bag into her room.)
Our family is ridiculous. I love it.
