Sunshine

Millie, First Week of First Grade: 8/22/19

Me: Millie, Did you know that *I* have homework for *your* class?!

Millie: What!?

Me: Yes! I have to write a letter that tells all the ways you are special. There’s only one problem: I have to keep it to under a million words. I’m not sure that’s enough space to tell all the special things about you!

Millie: Just say, “She is our Sunshine.” That should handle it.

Nailed it, Sunshine.

Tank after tank after tank

Brounion Colorado camping trip, July 2022, Millie zips out of the tent and asks Aunt Erin for any reading material consisting of anything other than heavy artillery:

“I just can’t read any more of Xander’s book. It’s just tank after tank after tank” 

Hotel California

 Me (frustrated and grumpy as our family was working to check out of our Disney Springs hotel in Florida): I HATE CHECKING OUT OF HOTELS! This is the worst part of traveling. UGghhh I HATE IT. 

Xander (10) : Then you would like the Hotel California.
