Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins

Sometimes I wish the girls would think before they speak. Here are some examples of what I mean ~

S - What time is it?

J - I don't know. Look. You're right there by the kitchen clock.

S - I can't tell time on that clock. It confuses me.

Oh, you make your Mama so very proud!

D - Mom! Where are the rubber gloves???

J - Oh, I don't know. Maybe in the same spot they've been in since you were born????

Or maybe, just maybe, to confuse the hell out of you, I put them in a different place. You better check....

R - {holding the Kitten Who STILL Has No Name near her face} Mom, come here. You have to hear this.

J - I don't really need to hear the cat purring. Again.

R - No. It's not that. Come listen. You can hear her breathe.

Oh, good. Because for the past few months I thought it was a dead kitten leaving those big stinking poops in the litter box.
