On weekends Liam likes to help me make breakfast.
On weekends Liam likes to help me make breakfast. I'm a bit of a coffee snob, so I always use good beans and grind them myself. One of the things he always does is ask to smell the coffee grounds right after I've ground them, and he always responds by enthusiastically exclaiming, "oh, that smells good!" I just assumed he always said it just because, but today I was cleaning the grinder by running cheaper President's Choice beans through, and he asked to smell them, just like normal. Except this time he goes, "l don't like that daddy." Great, so we have another snob, but he's not even drinking coffee yet...

James, "OK, are you done making stuff up just so people will like you?"
Nate, "Humans have the same amount of muscles, unless they've had some removed by surgery."

Sara has been out of town with Elle for a couple days, the older two know what's going on, but Liam still asks about where Mom is each day. We then both count on our fingers how many days until Mom comes back, and he seems to be okay with it and move on.
Anyways, this afternoon I took the opportunity to go out and hunt down a birthday present for Sara with the boys since she was out of town. After a while the boys started to lose focus and began looking at things that interested them instead, so I said, "Remember, boys, we're here to look for Mom." Liam, runs around the corner yelling, "Mom?!!, Mom?!!!", hopefully. Poor guy, had to talk down from it.
In contrast, Nate just told me he wishes Mom was coming back on Tuesday instead of Monday (a holiday), so he can skip a bit of school to pick her up.

Me, "James, no running around in your underwear because there's someone else in our house."
Pause. "OK, I'll just walk around."

The long con:
The long con:
Supper had finished, but Nate and James were still debating something at the table as I cleaned up. I didn't give it much thought, but a couple minutes later I noticed James appeared to be on the verge of tears. "What's going on?" I asked. James blubbered out, "Nate says I'm not the most normal." Me sternly, "Nate!" Nate instantly and jubilantly, "OK!!" Whispers in James' ear. James perks up and happily announces, "Nate said I could be the most normal because he's the best!"
