Superhero Training

Paxton: First thing you learn when becoming a superhero is how to hold going to the bathroom when you're fighting.

Eating Habits

So one night a week we make something Paxton will actually eat. (i.e., mac n cheese, pizza, quesadillas, etc.) Tonight is one of those nights and we are making chicken nuggets and french fries.

Ben: I don't want french fries.

Daddy: That's okay Ben I'll eat your french fries.

Ben: I don't really want to eat anything.

Daddy: That's okay Ben.

Ben: (Consolingly) At least it's crap.

The Next Spielberg

Ben: Mommy, I'm going to be a moviemaker. I'm going to make Scooby Doo meets Ninja Turtles.

Sustenance

Epic tantrum from Ben tonight. Imagine this conversation with frequent intakes of breath and pouting on his part and a lot of trying not to smirk on my part...

Ben: I wish I could live by myself!

Mommy: How would you eat? Who would feed you?

Ben: I would eat smores.

Mommy: Where would you get smores?

Ben: I would take all of your marshmallows and graham crackers with me.

Mommy: I don't have graham crackers.

Ben: Then I would steal your money jar and buy graham crackers.

Well, at least he has a plan...

If Paxton Were President

Paxton's homework assignment from school:
What would you do if you were elected president?

1. No Slaves
2. No School on Friday
3. More Doctors
4. More Exercise
5. Longer school Benjamin threw a tantrum about this. I fear he will not elect Paxton.
6. Better Teachers
   He said Miss Delehanty is great. He means better teachers all over the world. I hope Miss Delehanty is understanding :)

A Glass is Half Full Kind of Guy

Mommy: Paxton, did anything good happen at school today?

Paxton: Well on the behavior chart today I didn't get better...but I didn't get worse!

The Right Thing to Say

After letting the boys play video games, it was time for bed, and I was getting very aggravated with both of them. Ben was doing everything he could not to throw a tantrum, knowing I'd take games away the next day, but still working my last nerve, and Paxton ended up not going to bed either and plopped himself into a chair with a book.

Mommy: Paxton go to bed.

Paxton: Mommy, I'm reading a book. I was playing games and now I have to get my brain working again.
