Thoughts From Bannanie
Approaching the sliding glass window after playing outside…
Annie Mom can I please come in now? Hudson is trying to rule the world!
Me…speechless
Driving in the car to pick up Hudson from school…
Annie Hey Mommy, I think Papa knows Conner.
Me You do?! How would they know each other?
Annie Because Papa teaches, Potions!
Me Oh, no, Annie. Papa use to teach Chemistry, but now he is on a mission with Nana. And Conner never got to be in Papa’s class. There is no Potions…just chemistry…just chemistry…
Annie Oh…

Annie’s World
Sitting in the kitchen at the island…minding my own business…
Annie Hey Mom, I think Gracie is part elf.
Me What?!
Annie She has to be part elf because you are part elf.
Me What?!
Annie Look at your ears. You’re half elf- she’s half elf.
Me…speechless
This morning at the bathroom vanity…I’m pulling Annie’s hair into a ponytail. Shock on her part ensues.
Annie Whoa! I guess I’m part elf too! Just look at my ears!

Shoesday
I told Will I didn’t think I would really go shopping. Clearly, I was mistaken! I couldn’t resist. We won’t even mention the other 3 pairs I didn’t squeeze into the picture.

Hudsonisms
Driving in the car after picking Hudson up from school…
Hudson Hey Mom, did you know that Superman is the man of tomorrow?!
Me I did.
Hudson Well, we’re the same.
Me Really? How?
Hudson I’m the man of tomorrow too. Tomorrow is my birthday!
Me Yes you are, Hudson…yes you are…
Sitting at the island for breakfast while the kids play Old Maid…
Hudson Hey Mom, what is 14 +14?
Me It’s 28 Hudson.
Hudson Wow Mom! You are older than how many cards are in my deck.
Me Oh the irony!…and it should be 29, where is your Old Maid?

Jailbird
Annie Hey Mommy, remember that bad guy that had the brown hoodie that was getting arrested at Sea World?
Me What guy? I don’t remember this.
Annie You know the one that the police officers had on the side of the road.
Me frantically thinking and recalling a guy getting arrested on the side of the road over a year ago on the way to the zoo. The kids asked about why he was being arrested in which case I told them I didn’t know. A slew of questions, then a long discussion of cops, jail and bad choices ensued, not to mention the difference between making bad choices and being a bad person.
Me Oh, we saw that guy on the way to the zoo.
Annie I think he was trying to break into a store to steal a jewel.
Me Maybe, but we don’t really know.
Hudson I think he was trying to kill all the people…or worse, free all of the animals. Then they would all come charging out the zoo.
Let’s just say their guesses were much more interesting than my thoughts on the matter. However, those thoughts were never shared with my children.
