There were different poses.  Sometimes we were standing. Sometimes we were sitting.  Sometimes we were doing various tasks together around the house or yard.  In every single picture, my arms were humongous-long.  Now, if all of Jenica’s people had extendo-gadget-arms, I’d just assume that was her drawing style, but no, just mine.  When I asked her about it, this was her reply: “You have to have long arms, Mommy.  You have to wrap them around everyone when you hug.” 2007-09-25T09:12:01-08:00 http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/on_spanking/ http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/on_spanking/#When:03:00:01Z “I don’t believe in spanking.  I think kids should get a good clock to the ear, instead.” Sebastian, age 10 2007-09-03T03:00:01-08:00 http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/moms_gonna_kill_you/ http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/moms_gonna_kill_you/#When:22:06:00Z Yesterday, we went on the Skunk Train, in Ft. Bragg.  I overheard a little girl tell her brother who was leaning out of the train car, “Be careful! If you fall out and die, Mom’s gonna kill you!” 2007-07-12T22:06:00-08:00 http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/erm_yes/ http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/erm_yes/#When:06:29:01Z Jenica:  Can a mommy who’s married kiss her daddy? I think that was the question.  She asked it several ways in different wording, each more confusing than the last.  Finally, I assured her that daughters are allowed to kiss their daddies forever and ever even if they are grown up or married or have boyfriends or have kids of their own.  That seemed to ease her mind a great deal. 2007-02-06T06:29:01-08:00 http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/kung_fu/ http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/kung_fu/#When:04:37:00Z Jenica was curled up watching a movie with Daddy when a big fight scene broke out where the combatants busted out their best eastern fight moves.  Jenica turned to her dad and said solemnly, “Daddy? I don’t know Kung Fu.” After his initial shock, he smiled and patted her and promised, “We’ll work on that.  Especially before you start dating.” 2006-12-21T04:37:00-08:00 http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/our_own_chat_channel/ http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/our_own_chat_channel/#When:11:46:01Z We were all sitting at our computers playing our own separate games in our cool new home computer lab when Devon farted really loudly.  Like.  An unholy noise that could only come from the depths of hell itself.  The following dialog ensued. Aloud, mind you. Me: OMFG! Devon! Jenica: Ew! Devon: Noobs! Me: WTF, Devon? Uber gross. Devon: LOL Jenica: LOL Me: ROFLMAO Devon: Ew, That was bad.  I guess I modded my fart. Me: HAXXOR! Devon: ROFL Me: LMAO Jenica: LOL Sebastian: STFU SPAMMERS! Hm… maybe it’s time to… step… away… from the computers… 2006-12-11T11:46:01-08:00 http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/holey_beads_batman/ http://sillywoppat.com/kids/index.php/weblog/holey_beads_batman/#When:21:32:00Z Jenica:  Your beads are getting old, Mommy.  I can tell because they have holes in them. 2006-12-06T21:32:00-08:00
