Overheard

Here are some recent Matthew and Anna-isms that made me smile

Anna (singing):  Nobody knows the trouble I've seen...

After making Halloween cupcakes...
Matthew (to me):  When Daddy gets home will you tell him not to eat my cupcake with three candy corns, 'cause that's for Anna.
Anna:  I will scare him so he won't eat it...like this, "ROOOAAAR!!"
Matthew:  That won't work.  Daddy's not afraid of anything.  Well, maybe T-Rex.

Matthew:  When I grow up and get married I hope I marry an Air Force family! 

Matthew:  When I grow up I want to be an Air Force pilot and then an astronaut 'cause my book said a lot of astronauts used to be Air Force pilots.  (pause) ...and then I want to be a taxi driver after that.

Matthew:  Mom, when I am a pilot you can come visit me but you will have to call someone to find out where I am.  And I will bring dad and grandpa and let them be a co-pilot in my plane.  And Anna, you can come visit and ride in my plane.
Anna:  I want my own plane.

Anna (after coming back from Grant's check up):  I'm going to be a doctor to take care of babies.

Anna (to me):  What does "instinct" mean
Me:  It means when you feel like you need to do something
Anna:  Like go to the bathroom?!?
Me:  Uh, sure, ok.

Matthew (telling me about his Chick-Fil-A fundraiser):  Mom, we are having a "friendraiser" at school.  So we can raise friends.

Anna:  I want a candy from my Halloween bucket!
Me:  Have you been a good girl today?
Anna:  A little bit.

Matthew: MOM!!  You forgot to get me some milk!!
Me:  Is that a nice way to ask?
Matthew:  You forgot to get me some milk, PLEASE!!

Many people change careers these days, at least that's what I've heard. So that's good he's figured out what order he wants to do things in.
