Satan and Satin

Henry asked who Satan is. The kids and I were all in the kitchen making fudge as I explained about Satan. Katie asked, "So is that why that there's a beautiful type of tape called Satan? Because Satan was God's most beautiful angel?" It took me a minute, but I figured out she meant satin. She's been pronouncing satin in her books as Satan apparently.

Titus's Gifting Plan

I asked Titus what he was going to get Katie for Christmas. Without skipping a beat he answered, "A punchin'!" With his finger in the air as if he was having a eureka moment, he added, "I'm going to wake up early and punch her." Ah... I remember some gifts like that from my brothers.

Brotherly Love

Henry and Titus were squabbling so I lectured Titus on the responsibilities of a big brother in regards to Henry. I then talked to Henry about cooperating with Titus and told him not to make Titus' job harder by aggravating him. Henry (3) interrupts me with, "Yeah, but sometimes he bes a jerk!"
