It's funny what comes out of your mouth when you stay at home all day with two toddlers. Just now as I was on lunch duty with the munchkids I laughed out loud at myself.
Mary's highchair is right next to the place where we drop assorted mail and newspapers (bad choice of location, I think). Feeling distracted and unwilling to eat she was grabbing for yesterday's unread newspaper. The conversation went a little something like this.
"Mommy! Mommy! This is Barack Obama"
"Yes Mary, that is Barack Obama." (thinking I should make this a teachable moment) "He is the new president of our country. We really hope he does a very good job."
"Yes, he needs to do good job. Ella needs to do good job too."
(and the next sentence is where I laughed out loud at myself)
"Okay Mary, that's enough. Put Barack Obama down and eat your macaroni."
Okay...maybe you just had to be here.

Oh no, it's funny even not having been there.
Being a SAHM with two kids rots your brain...but in a good way, of course!! ;)
