She said it.
Roundabout was ecstatic this weekend to be able to stay home and not have school for three whole days. She and Green Light were back to old times playing make believe together all day Saturday. They are the best of friends and it's been very hard for both of them for Roundabout to be in school all day (I still contend that I do not like full-day Kindergarten.) At one point though, Green Light was tired of playing Prince and Princesses and wanted to play something else. But for Roundabout, she wasn't interested in playing what he wanted to play. She started to get frustrated with him and I heard her raising her voice at him. As I went out to talk to them both, I asked her why she would treat her brother like this when he had so much looked forward to playing with him. I asked her if this would be the way she acts at school if she felt frustrated at a friend. Her reply, "No way, I would get in trouble at school!"
So, the question remains in me...Is my discipline that lax around here?!
The following is an interaction between Roundabout and Straight Arrow this week.
Roundabout: (whispering in Straight Arrow's ear) Hey Dad. When you say Family Prayer tonight, you should ask Heavenly Father to send us another baby soon. Straight Arrow: Oh really? You think so?
Roundabout: Yeah, you should! But don't tell mom! You should just pray for it and then she will be really surprised!
Straight Arrow: Hmm. Well, don't you think that Rest Area deserves to be a baby for a little while longer?
Roundabout: No. Look how big he already is. And by the time Heavenly Father gives the new baby to mom, he'll be even bigger! I think we should have 10 kids!
Needless to say, Straight Arrow did not dare to tempt God in our family prayer that night. Roundabout did give him permission to tell me what she had wanted him to pray for though. I just hope she doesn't get the idea to pray for that when it's her turn for prayer. :)

You bettewr watch out, you know how children's prayers are always answered!!
My kids have always been in full day kindergarten, but it looks like the last 2 might be half day. I won't know what to do with half day!!
that is too cute.....
Sounds good to me. I love grandbabies. You know she has always been pretty close to the spirit. She probably knows something we don't. How about a little sister for her?
I would love to be the Aunt to your 10 kids, maybe if you do that then I would move next door! Of course if you have 10 kids you would be praying for family to move next door to help you. I think it is obvious you need help with the discipline department.
