Overheard in the house, January 2013 Edition

Overheard in the kitchen, after the bechemel sauce has boiled over onto the stove, as Queen B is about to loose it:

E-Bear: "Mom, are you feeling mad?  Remember what you are supposed to do:

(musical tune from "Daniel Tiger") 'When you feel so mad that you want to ROAR,

take a deep breath,' AHHH, HAAAAA, 'and count to four.'

Overheard in Buddy Bear's room as G-Bear and E-Bear go to wake him up:

Buddy Bear:  "Hi!!"

G-Bear: "Good morning, Buddy Bear.  How did you sleep?"

Buddy Bear: "Geee." (Good.)

E-Bear: "Do you want a book?"

Buddy Bear: "SSSSSSssss." (Yes.)

G-Bear: "Which one do you want?"

Buddy Bear: "Toot Toooooooot!"

G-Bear: "Your Thomas book?  Okay, here it is!"

Overheard in the kitchen as Buddy Bear comes in from the living room:

Buddy Bear:  "MaMA!"

Me: "Yes, Buddy Bear?"

Buddy Bear, tugging at my arm: "MaMa, Uh-oh."

Me: "Oh, dear.  You better show me what happened."


Overheard in the car, commenting on the color of our house:
E-Bear: "Dad, I like green houses.  I don't like skin-colored houses."


Overheard at the dinner table while sharing riddles with Auntie K (who is expecting twins):
Auntie K: "I have a riddle for you.  What has four hands, four feet, and is very, very full."
G-Bear:  "A cow?"
Auntie K (glancing at her belly):  "No, but good guess."


Overheard in the bathroom at bedtime:
Buddy Bear, running into the bathroom:  "MaMa!  Elmo!"
Me: "Okay, Buddy Bear, here is your Elmo toothbrush."
Buddy Bear, jumping up and down and reaching for the toothpaste drawer:  "MaMa!  Too TOO!"
Me, smiling:  "Okay, Buddy, here is your Thomas toothpaste."

Happily Ever,

Queen B
