Kids say the darnedest things...
Peter B:
15YOS is a typical teenager - he's stinky and he mumbles. This provides context for me misunderstanding what he said when he and his siblings were discussing superpowers they'd like.
15YOS: The superpower I'd like is to be able to mumble myself.
Me: Eh? You'd like to 'what' yourself?
15YOS: Clone myself.
Me: Oh. Right. I thought you said clean yourself.
15YOS: Embarrassed laughter.
12YOS and 10YOD (because they know their brother): Raucous laughter.

I was on a jury this week. The kids have been very interested in the process and what I told them about my fellow jurors. Sandy wanted to meet them and was disappointed that my service was ending. "When you die, can I take your place on the jury?"
Peter B:
All three kids are watching the TV while I cook dinner. A few minutes before I'm finished I go into their room...
Me: Turn the TV off when that show is finished, dinner's nearly ready.
Kids: Okay.
I go back to the kitchen and finish things in a few minutes. I then return to the kids to tell them dinner's ready, only to find the TV still on with a new show.
Me (slightly outraged): I told you to turn the TV off at the end of the last show. Why's it on now?
12YOS: We turned it off, but 10YOD turned it back on again.
Me: Why didn't you tell her to turn it off after what I said?
12YOS: But didn't you know? I'm unreliable!

Proud of my granddaughter Eva, won 3 out of 3 of her Ju Jitsu matches, which considering they banned her glasses, without which she is virtually blind, was some feat.
Peter B:
Would your 10-year-old ask this?
= = = =
13YOS is reading "The Big Fat Cow That Goes Kapow!" by Andy Griffiths* to 10YOD.
13YOS: Here comes Mike / Mike rides a bike / Mike rides a bike with a very big spike.
10YOD: Is he jousting?
* If you have kids, I'm sure they'd enjoy "The 13-Storey Treehouse" and its sequels.
