Nathan came home from school yesterday telling me that a friend had gotten a little rough with him and pushed him down causing him to scrape his knee.
"That's okay because he's gonna pay for it, Mom".
Me: "Excuse me?"
Nathan: "Yeah. Whenever someone hurts someone else they have to pay for it".
Me: "Who told you that?"
Nathan: "Hayden did. Because Aaron hurt him and he said 'He's going to pay for that!'".
(Pause--I wasn't quite sure what to say and I didn't think the laughter I was fighting back was appropriate!)
Nathan: "I hope he knows how much money to bring because I forgot to tell him".
After that comment I was less worried that Nathan and Hayden (who are both about the same size) were starting a gang to hand out paybacks.
Hannah told me today that one of her little friends got in trouble at school for saying a "bad word". Hesitantly I asked which one.
"She said, 'I don't care' and that is not nice!"
When Nathan got home I overheard Hannah tell Nathan something to which he replied, "I don't care". She immediately called him on saying a "bad word". Nathan looked at her, hand on hip and said, "No, it's not. I know tons of bad words". Then noticing me watching, "But I never say any of them!" Of course he doesn't.

Okay I am going to comment on two posts....
First of all I can't wait to start having conversations with Julia. Too much fun to hear what these little people have to say.
As for cooking, I am slowly starting to get better but still don't have the love. Maybe once I have three someday and I mean some day I will love it more.
The kids are too cute!
