We do a lot of carpool - we take Mikaela to school, then either come home or go to the park, then we take the little kids crew to preschool, ....insert Mommy working or running errands or volunteering.....
then, I pick up the little kids crew (Xander, and the two children I keep) and bring them home.
then, we go back out to pick up Mikaela, drop off our two extra babies.........
So, many of my most interesting conversations take place in a mini van.
X: When will Daddy be home today?
Me: About 4:00 - he has detention duty today.
X: Is detention inciting?
Me: Do you mean exciting?
X: yes...inciting...is detention INCITING?
Me: No.
X: Why would you want to stay for detention then? What is it?
Me: Well, detention is where kids who don't listen to their teacher and do all their work have to stay after school. They don't get to home when everyone else does. They stay at school and sit quietly.
X: Why doesn't daddy just be a good listener?
Me: Xander, daddy doesn't have detention - he is the teacher for the detention students.
X: Maybe all those kids just like daddy a lot like us, and want to spend more time with him.
Me: .....I don't think so - but I love how you are always thinking!
