Today I took the children out for lunch. We had a lovely time together for once (usually at least one of the three of us is cranky). Towards the end of lunch I made up a game. I made the children look away, and I tore a paper napkin in half. On each half I wrote a word, a word describing each child. I put the pieces of napkin away and set the children to guessing. "It's a word I use, a word that describes you. Something I say to you."
Lola cocked her head to the side and said, "Two words that describe us? 'Caring' and 'shy.'"
Iris burst out laughing. I said incredulously, "When has anyone ever described the two of you as 'caring' and 'shy'?"
(The words I had written down were "whackjob" and "loon").

"Is your brain two cells shy of functioning like a person?"
"If you were any kind of a caring daughter, you'd stop screaming about that god damn cat!"
Nice ones! I will share these with the children in question.
