Seth and Jenna have been educating mommy and daddy.

Seth: "Did you know that you breathe oxygen in through your nose and your heart pumps it through your body?"
Me: "Very good! What color is your blood?"
Seth: "It's blue and your oxygen makes it turn red. Yeah, I'm so smart mom!"
Me: "Yes, you are! So, if you breathe oxygen in through your nose, what comes out when you blow out?"
Seth: (gives me the "DUH, mom" look) "SNOT!"

I think I asked for that one.


Jenna...oh, Jenna. OK, to preface the conversation:

Jenna decided about a month ago when she woke up that she was officially potty trained (with almost no prior training) and wanted to wear underwear. About a month later, she has an accident at church. No big deal. Then we go out to eat afterwards, and I look over and Jenna is sitting in a puddle of pee in her chair, not even caring.

Me: "Oh no, Jenna! Two accidents in one morning! What happened? Did you forget to tell mommy you needed to use the potty? What's going on?"
Jenna: (smirks) "Ummm...I take the day off."

No comment.
