Literal

After two little boys took their baths yesterday, I commented that they were both as clean as whistles. Nathan told me, "Well, a whistle isn't all that clean. It is full of spit which looks clean but is full of germs."

Mr. Literal indeed.

The "literalness" comes from me don't ya think? A strength don't ya think?

From you. Total strength.

But all of my witty, clever sayings tend to be lost in literalness. ::whines::

Speaking in idioms is becoming a lost art. Keep it up, Carla! :)

Can't wait to hear what Nathan will say when I tell him he used to be knee high to a grasshopper!!

Hi curls!
I did it - I finally read your blog
and it was so awesome! You are the best writer and I had fun reading all about the fam (your kids say the most hilarious things!) also loved all of the pictures.
(I started reading with the blog on April 28 and read up through yesterday. I've got some more catching up to do so I will go read more...)

SEE YOU SOON!
