{Kids have the throwing up flu stuff so I slept in their room on the floor in between them. I woke up to Taylor singing "How Beautiful", the song Aunt Elena sang at our wedding, then...}

Taylor: Mommy, it's time to get up!
Me: I'm sleepy. {I was up all night again with throwing up/diarrhea duty and laundry}
Taylor: Mommy, Daddy's gonna spank your heiney if you don't get up.
Me: No he isn't.
Taylor: Yes he is, he did last time. {by the way, HE DID NOT} lol
Me: No he didn't.
Taylor: MOMMY, I NEED YOU TO GET UP!

{Then I go downstairs to get some supplies and I come back...}
Taylor: Mommy, Luke lied to me.
Luke: I did not lie to you Taylor.
Taylor: Yes he did, Mommy, he lied.
Luke: I didn't.
Taylor: It's not nice to lie Luke, say you're sorry.
Luke: I didn't lie!
{really?}

{Taylor got in trouble for not sharing and giving Luke a turn}
Luke: Taylor isn't being very nice. She's not sharing with me. That's not very nice. It's not good. She wouldn't share with me. She was sharing with herself.
