Conversations we had today

Lindsey: "There are 3 things that make me up. I am very smart, I am a good talker and sometimes I am a bad talker.
Mom: "Why are you a bad talker sometimes?"
Lindsey: "Because I talk too much and you say 'do you ever stop talking?'"

Brevan: (who has always been a true entreprenuer, can't wait to be a millionaire and loves to ask personal questions that people don't want to answer): "So if you paid [x amount of dollars] this week on bills and [x amount of dollars] on bills next week, how much money would you have left?"
Mom: "Nice try, Brev. I'm still not going to tell you how much money Daddy makes."
Brevan: "Dang it! I thought I'd really tricked you that time! Why can't I know?"
Mom: "It's just not something you need to know."
(immediately afterward) Brynlie: "Mom, what's a lawyer?"
Brevan: "Someone who makes a lot of money."

Logan: "I woo."
Mom: "You poo?"
Logan: "No, I WOO!!"
Mom: "Do you want me to change your diaper?"
Logan: "No. I woo."

And a typical daily conversation with Brynlie goes something like this:

Brynlie: "Mom, guess what?!"
Mom: "What?"
Brynlie: "Well, you know Caroline, who's friends with Abbie? Well, she was like TOTALLY acting like she didn't want to be friends with me and Megan today. And then they like started their own club and stuff."
Mom: "What was she doing to act like she didn't want to be your friend?"
Brynlie: "I told you! She started the CLUB!"
Mom: "What do they do in this club?"
Brynlie: "Nothing. They just SAY they have a club and I can't join. So anyway . . . "(and it continues like this for another 10 minutes or so, and I'm still incredibly confused at the end).
