Overheard at Our House

The kids are always saying fun things and I'm forever forgetting to write them down.  Here's a few I collected from the past few weeks:

We were playing the game "How's Yours?" and the subject was easter baskets.  Carter was it and he asked me how mine was.  My answer was I hadn't seen it since I was a kid.  His immediate guess was "your vacuum?"   (Ouch, so housekeeping isn't my favorite thing but I didn't think I was that bad!)

Eve: Here Mom, dees (these) is for you. (Gives me a half-eaten cookie).  I took some bites.  Is that OK?
Mom: Sure hun.
Eve:  You didn't want them all anyway.

Lydia (talking to Eve & cousin Allison Page):  If you read lots of books then you'll become smart.  You'll get a good job and you'll make a lot of money . . . (pause) and your life will be perfect. 

Eve:  I drawed a hippy-potamus.

The kids were at Grandma Matheson's one afternoon and when they got home I was asking them about what they'd done. 
Kids: We played anchovies
Me: You mean sardines?
Kids:  Ya, I knew it was one of those little fish.
