Spoiled "Wotten!"
We recently moved our children to the basement into the two beautiful new rooms that their grandfathers built for them. As an added bonus Deb’s mom got each of the kids a new bedspread. Cassandra was very excited at how nice her bed looked in the new room and exclaimed, “Mom, grandma sure spoils me wotten!”
What Cows Eat
In a conversation Deborah was having with our children about farms she explained to them that if cows eat the wrong grass they can get sick.
Jessica: “Yeah, that’s how Abraham Lincoln’s mother died. She drank milk from a cow that ate poisonous grass and she died. Then his dad married another lady and he was really sad. But he got over it. Abraham Lincoln made it so the black people could be free. And that is why there are so many kids with black skin in my class, like my best friend Alicia. But then a guy shot Abraham Lincoln in the back because the South Americans were mad that he made the black people free.”

What Husbands are For
Deborah: “If you had a husband, what would you do for him?”
Cassandra: “Well, I know what he would do for me...”
“Give me a wedding ring!”

“Give me a wedding ring!”
Hearing Birdseed
Hyrum took a new container of birdseed and poured it out over the dining room carpet. Deborah wouldn't let him play until he had picked it all up. Since there was a lot of birdseed it was going to take him a while. Deborah went upstairs to take care of Seth, Hyrum came up in 5 minutes with a "I'm done."
"You need to pick up all of the birdseed."
"How do you know I didn't do it?"
"Cause I didn't hear you pick it up"
"You can't hear birdseed!"
“OK, do you want me to come check?”
“No”
And with that he went back down and started to pick up the birdseed.
