These Small Hours: White & Nerdy

We love Harrison and Rio's teachers and know they are getting a top notch education. Everyone is so nice and respectful to us, and our kids have great friends at school. If you went to an assembly at their elementary school you'd be able to pick out Harrison and Rio quite easily because they are in a minority group - only about 5% of of the kids there are white. So when we saw

this video

we couldn't help but wonder if this would be in our kids' future.

All in good humor.

Say What?

Me: Could you help blow up balloons for Rio's birthday?
Harrison: I can't blow up balloons. I'm not good at it.
Me: Sounds like you need to practice so you can get better at it.
Harrison: I don't intend to.
Me: Why not?
Harrison: I'm never going to need that particular skill.

Nate (out of the blue): Zhu-Zhu pets steal our chicken while we're asleep!
Me: Zhu-Zhu pets like chicken?
Nate: They love chicken. We should put an alarm on the chicken so we can catch them stealing it!

Nathan: Mommy, I'm cold. See? I have goose-dots.

Me: What do you think of the candle that's burning right now?
Micah: It smells better than my pits.

I took a long nap today and when I got up Nathan said, "Next time you take a nap, don't be so tired."

We read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve. After we read "...and laying a finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod up the chimney he rose" Nathan said, "Santa has the Priesthood of Christmas."

Harrison said, "All girls are mistakers."

Me: Do you want milk or water?
Nathan: Milk. Milk gives you life.

Nathan: I'm stronger than you, Mom.
Me: No, I'm the strongest.
Nathan: No, BEARS are!!

A very sleepy Nathan: Mommy, I need new eyeballs. Mine are too sticky.

Nathan saying the prayer before dinner, "Please bless that I'll get macaroni and cheese and not this dinner."

While looking at Nathan, Lynzee said to Micah, "I don't think he's that tan. I think he just needs a bath."

On the way to church Nathan said, "If we were driving a tank that'd be awesome."

Rio: What I like about our new school is that there's no cameras. There's not even any on the bus.

Nathan looked at the rain outside and said, "It's a droppy day."

Rio: When I grow up I want to be a circus performer. Or a veterinarian.

In Primary Rio learned about Satan's plan and Jesus' plan before we came to earth. She told me, "It's important to be on Jesus' side. And Santa's good list."

While putting away boxes, Micah picked up one marked "China" and said, "All of China is in here? I am buff."
