Favorite quotes of the day

This morning while the kids were getting ready for school, we heard Natalie (8 years old) say this to Kelton.  They were talking about these people who come in and read to Kelton's class.  Kelton thought they were adults and Natalie was correcting him.

[said very matter-of-factly] "Kelton, those people who come and read to you in your class aren't big.  They are in high school.  They are just teenagers.  They don't know everything yet."

I'm going to have to save that one for a few years down the road.  I love how her statement that teenagers don't know everything yet also implies that she thinks that I, as a grown up, do.  I wish she were right on both accounts.

And Kelton (almost 6 years old) made me laugh last night.  We were listening to the radio and some ad or something was on.  I wasn't really paying attention.  All of a sudden, Kelton got really excited and said,

"Work!  They said 'work!'  That's where Dad lives!!"

I thought it was funny, but in case that comes across as sad to anyone, I did clarify and ask, "Dad lives at work?"  He kind of rolled his eyes, like he had realized his mistake, and said, "No, Dad lives here."  I think what he meant to say instead of lives, was "goes."  It was funny though because I'm sure dads and families alike kind of feel like dad lives at work sometimes.  But we are very grateful that they do.  Even though they would much rather "live" at home.  :)
