My boots were laying on the floor of my room, where I'd left them after I took them off today. Monkey was standing on them.

Me: "Monkey, please don't step on my boots."

Monkey: "Ok. Please don't make your room so messy."

Keyen was absent from school all last week so I never got to see him, and still haven't managed it this week. Apparently, though, he has been too busy this week to play with Turtle. She was a little annoyed about it yesterday but didn't even mention him today, so I guess the relationship has cooled.

Love

More from Turtle.

"Keyen is my honey"

"Keyen likes rock and roll, and rainbows."

Me: "Tomorrow is a school day."

Turtle: "Yay, I get to see Keyen!"

I am soooo checking this boy out tomorrow.

Snippets

Turtle: "What do clouds taste like?"

Monkey: "Mashed potatoes."

******************************

Turtle: "I'm going to marry Keyen. We're going on our honeymoon in Canada for 30 days and Alaska for 38 days. We're going to get married where Aunt D. got married, but Keyen thought a bench or a rock might be a good place. He gave me a rock on the playground with a heart on it."

Monkey: "I'm going to be your maid of honor and my husband will be your ring bearer."

Turtle, hands over her face: "Oh, brother."

Note: While Turtle has promised to marry a couple of boys in her class, Monkey betrothed herself to Vishnu last fall and has steadfastly maintained that she is going to marry him and only him. I let his mother know. I started to say, "I hope you haven't made other 'arrangements'" but caught myself in time and said "plans" instead.

Turtle: "Mommy, when will we go to Australia?"

**********************************

Monkey: "Mommy, can we go to the bank or someplace that has to do with money?"

******************************

Twin Momma: "...Ok, well if neither one of you wants to go to church with me, then Daddy and I will go to church together and you guys can stay home together."

Turtle: "N000000000000! The law will get you!"

*****************************************

Twin Momma: "Hey Turtle, you've never worn this outfit. Why don't you try it today?

Turtle: "I don't like that! It's a nightmare!"
