Funny things they say

I keep a running list of funny things the kids say or do that I want to remember and then periodically I post on the blog so I will always have them. 

Coe: Quinn pushed me down

Me: I hope you didn't push him back

Coe: Well I did

Me: Oh no that's not nice. Why did you do that

Coe: My dad said too. If someone pushes you you push them back #parentingfail, #daddyisintrouble

At our parent teacher conference for Mac, Mrs. Leibig was saying how the kids have a really hard time with fact vs opinion Qs.  I noticed Mac had missed a lot of these type Qs on the work he brought home, so at dinner that night I asked him about facts vs opinions.  He quickly told me the difference - one you can prove and one you can’t.  I then gave him some examples and asked if it was fact vs opinion
Me: dad has brown hair
Mac: fact
Me: dad is the best dad in the world
Mac (chuckling): opinion
Me: mac is the best basketball player on his team
Mac: fact
Me: (quizzical look)
Mac: seriously it's a fact b/c you can prove I'm the best
Still working on this concept, but obviously we have confidence mastered

Mac: I hope Mrs lacy has a girl

Me: why?

Mac: So coe can marry Frances, and I can marry the new one, and Coe and I won't have to fight.
