My hamper floweth over

1.All of my kids (except Max) use or have used the contraction amn't. "I amn't hungry." It makes sense, it follows grammatical rules, and I am petitioning Webster for it to be put in the dictionary.

2. All of my children (except for Max, who just screams "MINE!") say or have said What I have instead of that I have. "Hey mom, you know that book what I have?" I think that might be kind of a British thing?

3. Ashton was in Kindergarten and had a homework sheet. She brought it to me for help, very confused. The object was to match the pictures of different foods with their beginning letters. She had completed all but one, and was left with a potato on one side and a p on the other. "I must have made a mistake somewhere, but there is only one b, and bread starts with b, right?" I hadn't realized that her whole life she had been saying botato, she honestly made it to kindergarten eating botato soup and botato salad.


4. Pierce likes to describe things as soaking. "Mom I am soaking hungry!" "It is soaking hot today!" This one brings concerned looks from people, who I believe are thinking he is mispronouncing the "f" bomb.


Ashton had 5 teeth pulled today, and today is the last day she will see her best friend for at least a few years. I think I may be taking it harder than her. Especially the teeth. Keep her in your prayers.....

Why did she have so many teeth pulled? Is it for braces?

Those are so funny. Simon's latest is using 'about' incorrectly.
"What are you eating about?" Elena
