Will-isms AND some Anna-isms

Will: "First grade is so great! We have a huge magnifying glass that can put a picture of anything--ANYTHING--on the wall!!!" 

We eventually figured out he was talking about an overhead projector. :-)

After Anna came to get me to help her free a drawstring bag from around her neck, I freaked out a little.

Me:  "You never ever, never, NEVER put these things around your neck!"

Anna, calmly patting my hand:  "Mama, it gon' be okay."

Will asked me to turn on some morning cartoons, so I juggled our various remote controls to fulfill his request.

Will:  "Mama, when in school do they teach you how to turn on the TV?"

Me, laughing:  "They don't teach that in school!"

Will, exasperated:  "Well, then, how am I ever going to learn that???"

The minute I sit down in the bathroom, the door opens...

Anna:  "I need a hug."

Me: "Anna, I just need a minute of privacy."

Anna, coming in the bathroom anyway:  "That's okay, Mama.  I won't look at your private-cy."
