After seeing Twilight at the cheap theater tonight, Alan was making fun of Edward again. We were laughing about the part when Edward tells Bella that he likes watching her sleep. Creepy. I suggested that he could have said something like, "It's fascinating watching you sleep," or "I like playing with your hair while you sleep." Still creepy, but a little less so. Alan, speaking as Edward, said, "I like drawing pictures of me eating you while you sleep." Whatever. I'm still on Team Edward.

I need to watch my mouth

"Abbie, you are not allowed to do that. You need to go to timeout right now." -Emily
"I'm not going to frickin' timeout." -Abbie

I laughed. I know that I shouldn't have, but I did. How could I be mad when I know that she took the word right out of my mouth? Oh my little Babs. If this is what 3 brings, I just shudder to imagine 16.

Sigh.

Something to tattoo on his forehead when he hits 14

"I wish I could still live with you when I grow up, Mommy." -Nate

Inappropriate

The other night, we went over to my in-law's house to use their hot tub. After we got out, Nate was refusing to get dressed. This is how the conversation went down:

"Nathan James, if you don't get dressed right now, I'm going to make you ride home naked in the car. And that would be cold." -Emily
"And inappropriate." -Nate

True, true.
