Heard Around Our House

While watching the old Disney version of Beauty and Beast (first time for the kids).... We're at the scene where Beast has just lost his temper with Belle and she tries to run away.

Ben: pause it, pause it!
Me: ok. why?
Ben: ok, so he has to fall in love with her and she has to fall in love with him before those rose petals fall right?
Me: yes
Ben: Then shouldn't he GET GOING?!?!

********

Julia-ism: Pacifically. For the life of her she cannot say specifically. I love it.

After our new lawn guys came the other day Ben and I went outside to survey the damage to the new grass we've trying to grow.

Ben (looking at the dead grass): What the hell? That's not what we wanted.

Me: Ben! 

Ben: But that's not what we wanted!

Me: Yes, but we just talked about saying that word yesterday.

Ben: But I was saying it to the grass.

Me: It doesn't matter, you're not supposed to say it.

Ben: Fine.

Julia (coming outside to join us): What did you say Ben?

Ben: I'm not supposed to say it, ask your mother.
