Jellybean (11) quipped this after I announced that not only did I send her prepared water bottle off to school with her sister, this meant that Coco (13) had not one, but two water bottles in her lunch bag. I do blame blogging. Ellen

Roommates
Hey, Roomie!!Eddie
My sons, Eddie and Deacon, go to the same school. The other day they passed each other on the playground.
“Hi, Eddie!” 8 year old Deacon yelled across the playground.
“Hey, Roomie!” 4 year old Eddie yelled back.
There was much rejoicing from the teachers on the playground who ALL rushed to tell me after school. Erin

This is the 8 year old’s response to our incredulity when we discovered him applying Axe to every square inch of his little person.

“Well, Ace said that this stuff makes you grow hair and I want to be bear.”
Sounds like we might need to clarify a few things with the teen. Erin
