#9 "Markers" Count Down: Bored Kids = Mischief

Aubrey and her friend had a "late night" the other night and to entertain themselves, they drew. On their faces. And hands.

It reminded me of a nap I took a few years back. I awoke to the boys and Jessica having drawn tiger stripes all over themselves (they drew on the baby sister, of course).

What is it with kids and markers and a clean slate of skin?

"There's nothing better than 'rock-paper-scissors' when there's nothing else to do."

"It's like I have super powers or something because I keep making good choices all day today!!"

"I have to turn my fan off by my bed so I don't blow away the tooth fairy tonight."

"Ugh, I can't get this song out of my head! I need to put something else in there, like a really good secret."

"When I sit on the drain in the tub while it's going down it's like the tub is kissing me."

"Ew, Alex you are in your swimming suit! No wait, I mean your party suit!" Michael: "You mean his birthday suit?"

"Can I trade my "bed-time tuck in" for a "bed-time cupcake"?

"Mom, Alex ran out into the road (while I was singing in choir practice at church) but don't worry, I looked both ways for him."

"Alex pulled my nutcracker's nose off. He's absolutely strong!"

"I think there is someone living inside of me who eats all my food and then it makes me hungry."

"Did you know that the wind is really just Jesus blowing on us?"

On the way to church, Michael: "Jackson, what's on your shirt?" Jackson: "I think I got some fog on it."

"Mom, please don't talk on the self phone when you drive because every time you do you DRIVE TOO SLOW."

"Mom I don't think I should sing in the Primary program. I sing really bad like this: (imitates self really badly moaning) when I don't remember the words."

After eating cinnamon popcorn: "Dad, you can lick my fingers if you want."

"You can't just destroy people. It's so rude."

"I put the 'bikini' on the counter." (zucchini) Michael then explained that a bikini was a girl's swimsuit. "EWWWW!"
