Heard Around the House
Sean, 5, yelling in the back door: Did anybody see my shoe? I think it just flew inside.
Luke, 10: Sean! You don't pull somebody's hair until you know they have your property.
Me, in my most convincing voice to Seth, who can be a drab, mumbling 15 year old: I just bought these Omega 3 fatty acids capsules...they're supposed to be good for your brain...I'm taking them - they are good for depression...take it! It'll make you happier.
Seth, in all seriousness, eating his cereal: I don't wanna be extremely happy.
Me: Uh, don't worry, you won't be flitting through meadows with butterflies. You just may be a tad more positive.
Seth: uuhhh, as he picks up the capsule from his plate and places it on his placemat
