“When the power is out, everything is different. So we have to do things different too!”
“Like sleep in shorts?”
“Exactly!”
How my house works:
“When the power is out, everything is diff-”
“No, it’s NOT!”
“No girls, the power is out. That’s why everything is dark.”
“No it’s NOT!!”
“We are going to have to do things different. Like sleep in different jammies and no blanket.”
[Catastrophic meltdown]
[Child brings me her fleece Christmas jammies]
“THESE”
“These are way too hot. We need summer jammies tonight.”
"No they’re not! "

I overheard my kids (7 and 9) talking about kissing. One said to the other “Lets practice our French kissing!”

I didn’t have anything to worry about…
