From the Moms

Astrid’s Mom: At dinner, I asked the girls what they are thankful for. Astrid responded, “I’m thankful for Dean because he is going to marry me.”

Dean’s Mom: Something to be said for a girl who knows what she wants.

Astrid’s Mom: Or one day she’ll boil his bunny a la fatal attraction.

Pants!

Mommy: I know you don’t like jeans, and I respect that, but it is going to be really cold today. Maybe you should at least change into gym pants.

Dean: But… shorts!

Mommy: I know kiddo. Do you remember last night when your legs were cold? A pullover won’t help that.

Dean: [thinks a few beats… maybe… ] Okay. I’ll just wear long socks then.

@#%^&!!! Why won’t you wear pants?!

Exact Change

Dean: Emma is just turing 6 right?

Mommy: Yup.

Dean: But I’ve been six for awhile.

Daddy: Yeah…

Dean settles comfortably back into his car seat.
Dean: Yeah… I’m like, six and a half.

Daddy: Not quite Buddy. You won’t be six and a half until February. It’s more like you are six and a quarter.

Dean: Well… I could be six and a dime.
