Any of my kids (especially Zoe) could easily have a 2-hour nightly sitcom without any writers. I’m listening to my middle three not doing their chores and just as I was about to yell, “BEDTIME!!!!” at 6:30pm, I heard the following conversation and couldn’t administer any kind of stern admonition so I had to just let it go and chuckle as I reminded them to finish their chores…

Talia: Queen, stop. {pause} Queen, no. {pause} Queen, move. {pause} UGH. You stupid dog, just get outside then!

Avalyn: She ain’t listening to you. Say it like Daddy. Like this, “Queen!” {points her finger}

Talia: She’s still there. Any more bright ideas, genius?

Avalyn: {frowns & crosses her arms}

Tre: Both of y’all are doing it wrong. She doesn’t speak English. She speaks German.

Talia & Avalyn in unison: German?!

Tre: Yeah, duh. Y’all, she’s a German Shepherd.

Talia & Avalyn in unison: OOohhhh!!

Talia: Well she gon’ havta just stay there then cause I don’t know no dog talk in German.

These kids drive me nuts… but in a good way. Wait, is there a good way? LOL!
