This Versus That

A few little "this versus that" tid-bits that have happened around here lately...

• It turns out that Cameron and Ethan did not know there was a difference between Clorox cleaning wipes and baby wipes.  So when they've needed a little "freshen up" after a particularly trying trip to the restroom they've been pulling the Clorox wipes out and going to town on their backsides.               

          Ouch, right?

• For months I've been making fun of my oldest boys for being Magic the Gathering nerds.  Andrew and I remind them repeatedly that they cannot live with us when they are 30 - you know, like the Dungeons and Dragons types.  So the other day my sister and brother-in-law came over to play games.  They brought over a new one called "Killer Bunnies".  We were about ten minutes into it when one of my brats comes to the table, observes for a moment, and exclaims, "Hey!  This is just like Magic the Gathering!"  

          I have been duped into playing a fluffy, dumbed-down version of Magic the Gathering.

• It seems that all the political satire and election hubbub has been seeping into my mentality because tonight I converted from capitalism to socialism without even consciously making the choice.  

          Three of my four kids had eaten all of their Halloween candy, so I dumped Trent's into a big bowl and deemed it the community pot.


That is all.
