Daddy: I'm going to give the kids peanut butter pretzels instead of apple slices to wake them up since it's faster and it's already passed 8 o'clock. I'm rationalizing.
Jr.: Dad, do you think I should eat breakfast before I get changed because I might spill stuff on my church clothes?
Daddy: That sounds like a really good rationalization. Go for it.
Me (thinking): I'm holding the baby. I don't have to go help the older kids. Jeremy will do it. I'll just sit and read my book.
Me: I'm rationalizing keeping this list so I can write a blog post.
Daddy: Look at these kids. I'm here lying down on the bed, and they're all getting ready for church.
Jr.: Lucky's the one lying down on the bed.
Daddy: You're right. I'm laying more than lying.
Jr. Jr.: Are you laying eggs?
Everyone: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Nichole: Daddy's a chicken.
Daddy: No, I'm not. Take it bwok.
Me: I should have stayed in bed.
Me: Should I call the kids in?
Daddy: Yes, please.
Me: In! Oh, In!
It's National Rationalization Day. I'm allowed to be silly.
And here's a picture of a castle Nichole built out of blocks that day. I've included it just because.
