Mo' M Memos

Dear mamá,
I am sorry that this morning had to be so rough and tough. It is okay with me if you cancel my plans with abuela s and grandpa. I completely respect and understand your choice about that and the afterschool thing. Thank you for bearing with me this morning and reading this letter.
Sincerely, M
PS Even though today was just a bad day, if you decide to let me go with abuela S and grandpa I will come back a changed person, but if you don't, then I still will be, after school. I don't mean to be rude, but I would have never left my bag at home if you hadn't told me to!
PPS I lost the clip for my skirt please get me a bobby pin!

Apology Notes- Sincere or Messing with Us?

We got these last night after M got in trouble in after school for jumping on the tables in the library with a friend!

Dear Papi,
I am sorry for disgracing this family by outrageously climbing on my school's tables. I realize that there will be consequences and I completely understand and respect that. I will do my best to take action and fix my mistakes.
Sincerely, M.
PS Consequences: punishments if your choice and having to earn back trust for being alone in a room.
taking action by: writing a sincere letter to afterschool counselors and trying to earn back my reputation with good beahvior.

Dear Mama,
I am sorry this has to be in written form. I am sorry to admit that I had the outrageous thought as to climb on our school library's tables and chairs. I realize that I am disgracing you and am very sorry about that.I will try to control myself. I completely understand and respect whatever punishment you and papi choose.
Sincerely, M.

Brotherly LOVE

I went upstairs and saw J and V laying on J's toddler bed (intended for one 2-3 year old) while J read Harry Potter:
V: Why do you like my bed so much?
J: I just love you!

V looking at breaded frozen shrimp at Costco: Can we please buy those chickens with the long nails?

A when I asked her to note how nicely another little girl was behaving on the train: Who are you talking to?

L convinced V to work on letters (her thing not mine) by telling him that he would need to know how to write to tell Santa what he wanted. The next day he told her: I spoke to my mom (false) and she said I do not need to know how to write; she will do it for me.

For My Fan

A to L: This car is $1600!
L: It is too expensive.
A: Okay, 10% less.

J when he heard that I gave L the password to our internet for M to work: You should not have done that. She may be a spy and have been pretending to be a babysitter all this time to get out password!

J on his piano teacher: I would pay $1,000 to have her move to Mexico or somewhere far away.

A: Will papi be back for father's day?

J when I told him he could play fewer piano pieces for an evaluation: You finally figured out that I am not Mozart!

V:Killing is the worst but shooting is even more worser.

V as he eyed the clothes I had for A: Mamá, I am not wearing that dress. Not even rock stars wear dresses!

V: Am I older than A with her tippy toes in boots? Is she taller?

V: Miami is the best place ever!

Catchin' Up on Chatter

J and I were talking about body hair and how he wants to remove it when he is older. I mentioned that his (tío) G had a hairy back.
J: Is that why he is not married?
Me: I don't think so. Most people like hair on a man.
J: I think he is not married because he is not that enthusiastic about people.

V during the school musical, Bye Bye Birdie: Are those people or puppets?

J: When M has boobs are we not going to take a shower together anymore?
Me: Probably not.

V: Do not leave me upstairs. I am allergic to being alone.

J: Nobody is symmetrical. Except Mary.

M: I am scared and excited for camp. I am skited!

J: The world would be better if we did not exist!

L asked V and A to behave for some outing. She told them to leave "silly" at home. When they were out and about V was being wild.
L: Didn't we leave silly at home?
V: Yes, but he has a brother.
