Go Fish--Malstrom style

I don't think I've told this one, but it jumped to my mind today...

A little while ago, my kids asked me to play "go fish" with them. We had a short refresher course on how to play because Libby had always been too young to play her own hand before.
So after playing a few rounds with them, I noticed that they were not really playing the way that I was. See if you can spot the difference:

Me:"Give me all your 5's"
Child #1:"I don't think I have any...(splays out all of her cards). I'm sorry, I don't have any."

Child #1: "Mom, would you happen to have any 8's? "
Me: "(taunting) GO FISH!!"

Child #2: "Savannah, by any chance would you have any 3's in your hand?"
Child #1: "No, but I have some 2's if you want them."

Who replaced my children with polite ones?

Payton's Vocabulary

Savannah gets in the car today after school and tells us a story. Apparently some girl with "nasty" hair sat in front of her during D.A.R.E. Instruction, and said hair touched Savannah's knee.

So Payton said, "That reminds me of the time this one girl sat in front of me. She used to pee in her pants, and she still smells like that wretched odor."

What a choice of words for an 8 yr old boy. I would think the normal description would be "ewww"
