A couple of Maileisms. . .

The other morning I overheard Lose telling Eli, "Hey Eli. . .did you know that Grandfather used to be a gunfighter?"

We were talking to Malia about the 8 yr old and older camp this summer that Grandmother and Grandfather are holding, that Line, and not Malia, will be attending. We realized that she may have misunderstood the way it would work. That in fact, she would not only get to attend the following year, but that all those that had attended the previous year would again be participating. Naki said to her, "Just so you know, Malia, ", and then explained it to her. She quickly followed with, "Just so YOU know, I'll be sneaking in Line's suitcase this summer."

I've been trying to make more healthy-conscious decisions in all of our diets, and have started putting some shredded wheat in with their morning cold cereal. After Eli finished her first bowl, she hollered to me, "Hey Mom! Can I have some more hay?"

Last night we had grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. As we were eating, Malia said to us, "I know why it's called 'girlled cheese'. Because it's for girls and it has cheese in it." Apparently, we really need some boys around here. Even our food has been overtaken by all the females.
