Starring My Kids

Scene 1: I am in the kitchen. The boys are playing together in the next room.

Cameron: Hey Matthew! Can I pick you up by your feet and hang you upside down?
Matthew: Yeah!
Mommy: NO!

Scene 2: Driving to Chicago. Cameron is selecting a DVD to watch.

Cameron: What should we watch Matthew?
Matthew: Signing Time!
Cameron: Awww, I don't want to watch Signing Time! How about Inspector Gadget?
Matthew: Signing Time! Alex and Leah!
Cameron: Can't we choose something else?
Matthew: Smufs?
Cameron: OK, Smurfs.

Scene 3: I will spare you the details. Suffice it to say that on the drive to Chicago, we were forced to stop at a fast food restaurant in which I can never show my face again. Dozens of wipes, a new outfit and a clean diaper were required.

Matthew: Soo-paa! Soo-paa poopy! Soo-paa doo-pa poo-pa!

Scene 4: The boys are cooking in the play kitchen. I am a customer at the diner.

Cameron: Would you like hashbrowns and bacon?
Mommy: Yes, that sounds delicious!
Cameron (shaking a can): Oink. Sounds like a good pig!

Scene 5: Matthew is eating a pear, which he drops on the ground.

Mommy: Oh, don't eat that Matthew. It's dirty now.
Matthew: No sanks. I eat it. (Takes a bite.)
Mommy: Eww!
Matthew (reassuringly): It's good!

Zack, I look forward to all the fun I'll have with your 3 kids. And Debbie, I have no doubt your 5 kids will be tons of fun!

Well, its not that 3 is the definate number. It's just that when perfection hasn't been achieved, keep going until you get it. Sometimes 3...sometimes 5. I'm thinking with my good genetics, 1 should be enough.
