Nate- "When I grow up I want to be filthy stinkin rich."
(Silence)
Nate- "Don't worry I'll give money to the poor and to, like orphans and stuff, but I'll still have enough money to live the sweeeet life. When I'm rich I'm going to have a clapper."
Bryce- "What's a clapper?"
Nate- "You know, the thing that turns on the light when you clap and then turns them off when you clap again."
Bryce- "Oh yea. I want a snapper."
Nate- "The snapper hasn't been invented yet. It's just from Night at The Museum."
Abby- "I want a stomper."
Gracie "I want a skipper."
Nate- "Mom, is there anybody who is a multi-billionaire?"
Mom- "I don't know."
Nate- "I at least want to be a multi-millionaire."
Bryce- "I want to be a thousandaire."
Nate- "Uh, everyone is a thousandaire. Well except the poor people."
Bryce- "Mom, are you a thousandaire"
Mom- "I don't know."
(You see I'm tired, and when I'm tired "I don't know" is my answer to every question.)
Check back for more riveting "car"versations. (which by the way are the always interesting conversations that only take place in the car.)

ok, we weren't rich, but we were crazy-butt LAZY...we TOTALLY had a clapper! Except it didn't work when you clapped, so you had to go, "PSSST!" (you know, like you're scaring away a cat...or maybe we are the only family that did that, too) to get it to turn the lights off. The funny thing is that it was in my parent's room, and my dad was a fireman, so he had a plectron (SP?) radio, that played the police calls, and the siren would turn the lights on and off in the middle of the day and creep you out.
How does nate know what a clapper is, anyway? I love it.
we were also lazy enough to have an electric broom (no more bending down to use a dust pan) and a separate fridge just for soda and watermelon...it was WAY to much hassle to make room in the regular frig for all that.
Watermelon? Interesting.
actually the clapper meg is referring to did come with this little brown plastic "squeeze" to sound chew toy type material thing that would make the psssst noise and turn the lights off and on...it just got lost.
i don't remember the plectron turning the lights off an on though. to be fair meg and i had VERY different childhoods since she is 11 yrs younger than i am.

classic!
That is great!! Sometimes I am not sure if we are always a thousandaire!! Maybe he can give us some money too!!! I also totally agree with your issue about the kid and the contest at the party.
The kids pics are way cute and so was that conversation. Seems like things are going pretty well. Would you agree?! Have things slowed down since McKay is now older and so are the other kids, obviously?!! Has Sam's business been effected by the stock market? Can you tell me how you got your blog list to show updates. I can't seem to figure it out and it takes forever to go through to see if people have updated. You're the best.
Nat, thanks on the advice. I got everything changed. I know I'll sound like an idiot, surprise, but one night I spent hours trying to figure that thing out. Oh well, all I have is time.
i looooooooooooooooove it! kids are too funny
That was too cute!
