The following are all things that were actually said/heard around the Madsen household today. I'm willing to bet that a good 3/4's of my readers have said the exact same things, or something eerily close. I'll leave it to you to guess who said what.
"Tess and I enjoyed a late night coughing party. It lasted for hours. She enjoyed my company so much that she absolutely refused to let me leave until she was completely exhausted. *cough*cough*hack*hack*"
-------
"Do you want milk?"
"Yeah."
"Say 'milk'."
"Gulk!"
"Close enough."
-------
"We do NOT throw ornaments at our sister!"
-------
"We do NOT climb the Christmas tree!"
-------
"We do NOT play tag with the tree!"
-------
"We are NOT having a Christmas tree next year!"
-------
"I want a clookie."
"A clookie?"
"Yeah. A Clistmas clookie."
-------
"Spencer, no one in the history of the world has ever been injured by trying on new shoes. Knock it off and put the dang shoes on."
-------
"She put THREE kernals of corn *up there?"
"Yes. Hold her still."
-------
Literally 10 minutes after dinner while I'm in the kitchen cleaning up.
"I'm hungry. Can I have a snack?"
"Are you kidding me? No, you may not have a snack."
"But I'm hungry!"
"We JUST had dinner."
"I want a snack!"
"TOO. BAD."
(Sensing danger and using what little logic the child was born with, he slowly backs away and out of the kitchen.)
-------
*"Up there" was her nose, in case you're wondering. Yes, every family seems to have a kid who sticks weird stuff up their nose, and now we do, too.

I found a web story of a boy who was in fact hurt trying on a pair of shoes.

Not helping, Kevin. Not helping.
I remember our child who secreted something up their nose and we didn't discover it until it had rotted and was oozing...guess there goes my mother of the year award...glad you caught it in time!
