Say What?

There were several reasons to laugh with the kids today. Here's a few:

While driving to school this morning:
H: I wonder if someone should tell those people they have construction paper on their house?
Me: Construction paper? Where?
H: Right there! (He points to a house that has it's front porch wrapped in that yellow crime scene tape; guess he's see it used at construction sites as well!)


While helping Hudson finish up in the shower tonight, he starts singing opera music. I don't really notice at first, I just keep soaping his little body. After a few minutes, Olivia walks in and asks if this is a "soap opera". Hudson says that it is, and he keeps doing his best tenor voice. Olivia turns to me and says, "A soap opera is an opera sung in the bath when you feel all soapy, clean and relaxed, right?" At this point I realize they are serious. Unfortunately, I burst her (soap!) bubble and let her in on the fact that a soap opera is a not-very-nice TV show that's often showing things we don't need to watch. Kind of ironic isn't it?

After baths, we made hot chocolate and watched the first few performers on Dancing with the Stars. It showed one of the dancers receiving a massage after rehearsal. Olivia, knowing how much I don't like massages, says with a smirk, "Oh, Momma. Wouldn't that feel good?" Before I could reply, Hudson -- who's studying this massage thing rather intently -- says in a complete dead-pan tone, "Yeah, that would feel great. I haven't had a massage in weeks." I just had to crack up!!!
