A Person

*With guest stars Hannah Campbell, Kyah Jaco, and Savanah "Jojo" Jaco* 

While eating pie at the dinner table

“I’ve missed some part of Jojo’s development,” Hannah turned to Ashley and said. “She was a baby you just held, and now she’s like, a person.”

Jojo Jumped up, her face all aglow with excitement, “JOJO’S A PERSON!!!” she exclaimed with the largest smile her face could contain. She lingered there for a moment until, “Oh, pie.” And she dove for her dessert.

And that is the story of how a two year old discovered self awareness.

Boys...

While doing each others hair in the bathroom


"Soooo... Do you two like any boys?" Ashley asked, wagging her eye brows suggestively.
"NO!" Hannah swiftly replied.
"No way! They are all idiots and wack-a-doodles!!!" Lexie exclaimed.
"Oh... That's good I guess." Ashley said.
"How is that good in any way?" Lexie demanded.
"Uh... This not the conversation I thought it would be."

Big Deal


Michael
While eating a dinner of Chinese chicken salad

Hannah, Why don’t you have any oranges in your salad?” Mom asked.
“I don’t like them. I threw them away.” She said as though it was “no big deal” to throw away oranges.
Mom looked appalled. “Hannah don’t throw away your food. Give it to someone else.” She scolded. Because the fact of the matter is, it’s a “Big Deal” to throw away oranges.
“HANNAH! DON’ TROW AWAY ORNCHES! GIVE THEM TO MEEE!” Michael exclaimed.
Michael knows how big a deal oranges are indeed.

It's Obviously Delightful

While standing in the kitchen giving Daniel a hug

“Ewwww! You got gross sugar all over me!” I exclaimed, after Daniel left a trail of brown sugar all up and down my arms and shirt.
He looked up at me with a look full of both ironic wonder and exasperation.
“Uh, duh! Sugar is not gross. It’s obviously delightful. You’re so weird.” He replied matter of factly.
He then proceeded to walk away shaking his head in disgust.

The halloween lament

Lexie
While talking about the evils of Halloween at the Silvey home, this conversation took place

"I wish I could dress up as a ballerina." Lexie lamented, looking downcast as she realized she never could.
"Lexie! Ballerinas don't exist! They are of the devil! How could you!" Daniel exclaimed with horror in his eyes that his very sister could wish such atrocity.
"Oh..." Lexie replied as if she had forgoten this fact. Ballerinas most certainly do not exist.
