Random bits of the day

Katrina showed me a chart that she'd made for fun of how many times the boys in her class talked without permission versus how many times the girls did. The total came to 184 vs. 75. She was all, "I'm not really surprised."

*       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *

Me: "I never knew any of my great-grandpas, but i knew 3 of my great-grandmas."
Katrina: "Why didn't you know your great-grandpas?"
Me: "Because they all died before i was born."
Katrina: "Oh. Your poor great-grandmas!"

Empathy.

Zane cannot stop talking.

We've made Houston's bedtime an hour later, in honor of his being a teenager. He's thrilled, but also seems to be at a bit of a loss for what to do after the kids go to sleep.
Me: "I'm reading."
Him: "Right! (Pause.) So! Talk, talk, talk."
Me: "Um...reading?"
Him: "Right!"
