Funny kids

This morning over breakfast, I had this conversation with Maddie:

Maddie: Parks is my brother, huh mom.
Me: Yup
Maddie: And I love Parks.
Me: That was a nice thing to say, Maddie.
Maddie: But he's still mean.

Ya win some, ya lose some.

A few nights ago at dinner Parks was having a very hard time eating his dinner. I swear dinnertime has turned into some sort of endurance competition. We are at the table for at least an hour trying to get the kids to eat.

Anyway, last night we were having Parks eat a bite of everything on his plate. Once he got done, then he'd start again and have one bite of everything again. He was taking a particularly long time on one bite so I wanted to know what bite he was having trouble with. We had this conversation:

Me: Parks, what are you stuck on?
Parks: My chair.

I guess after sitting there for so long, he felt a little trapped. Go figure.

Complete opposite of what Trent said. In fact I never gave in even if I was "stuck" in my chair.. Poor Mom... I'd feel bad for you Meg except....for the Cameron kids..
