Overheard

Just now - during some ready-for-school-early-bonus-lego-time.

Moolah:  "Mama," (play Mama, not this Mama) "Can we ride our bikes"

Moolah-as-Mama "Yes, just be sure to watch out for bears and bad guys because there are lots around here."

Ace-as-Daddy "And they can steal you."

Moolah-as-Mama "Yes.  So take this flashlight. Have fun."

School Carnival

Bouncy houses. Purple sparkly hair, pink and purple sparkly nails, a hot dog and root beer. The carnival is a hit.

Moolah Says

Mama was doing laundry, and Moolah came down in full princess regalia.

"Mama, you are our spy Mama. Ace is the spy brother and I am the spy Princess. We live in a town of spys and I am the Princess."

"Really, everyone in town is a spy?  Isn't it hard for us to do our spy work if everyone knows that everyone in town is a spy?"

(Pause)

"It's a very small town."
