cool breeze

It's technically spring. But, since we live in upstate NY, that doesn't mean anything.  Everyone is getting cabin fever so we went outside this morning in the lively 45 degree weather.  A was in timeout, which should not surprise anyone.  He kept trying to talk to me and I kept telling telling him "no talking in timeout."  Finally I say, "I'm not talking to you while you're in timeout."  Ever so quietly, almost under his breath I hear him say "I can talk to myself."

Later, after we had been out for a while, I say (to no one in particular) that I am getting chilly.  I have yet to acquire my New Yorker blood after being in the South.  A tells me "I'm getting so warm from this cool breeze."  I guess we need to start working more on opposites.

HA! Awesome. Paige needed help with opposites too. I said "What's opposite of brother?" and she said "Man?" I guess its kind of close? Still hilarious.

And this is the funniest thing she's ever said to me. We were looking at a willow tree and she said "That looks like a pencil tree." "A pencil tree? Do you mean a palm tree?" And she said, "Yeah but I say pencil because I'm Irish."

Kids make perfect sense.
