Last night Jessa and her dad studied for her spelling test and I learned after school that they didn't have their spelling test today. I said "Oh no, maybe your your teacher forgot. You should've reminded her." Jessa replied "Mom, that's HER responsibility!"

Today Jessa and I went to the hospital to visit my cousin Holly Merriman Klemisch, her husband Nick Klemisch, and to meet their new baby Rylan Paul. On the way home, Jessa says to me, "Mom, isn't it amazing how cell phones cost like $100 but you can get a baby for FREE!"

You know your 5th grade son could be in trouble for tomorrow's history test when you are reviewing discoverers with him and you ask him for the name of a specific leader of a group of Vikings and his answer is Brad Childress.

Jamison, while looking at Jayce's baby pictures today - "What? Jayce was a baby?"

"Mom, is Dad a grownup?" Jamison, age 3.

Jayce: "Mom, I sure hope Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez get married... and soon!"
Me: "Why is that?"
Jayce: "Because then Jessa won't have a chance with him and I won't have to worry about him living with us!"
Me: "Yes, Jayce. That should solve that problem for you."

Today I found Jamison with his finger in his nose. "Jamison, do you need me to get you a Kleenex?" I ask. "No. My fine," he replies. "My putting it all back.".

Me: Jamison, what are you doing?
Jamison: Just sitting here, duh!
Me: Duh? Where did you get that from? (Meaning his terminology)
Jamison: Oh, just from Walmart!
