Scratch

Our cat scratched my 4-year-old daughter because she was annoying him. I had just told her to stay away from the cat and she ignored me. Then went over and jumped next to him. He wasn't too happy since she had been pestering him all day. He grazed the surface of her skin....thankful it was not worse. However, she said, "Daddy, the cat scratched me and it opened up my foot. So, you can see the bones."

Ants In My Backyard

While we were outside playing today I noticed we had about six different ant hills in the backyard. These fire ants will take over if you do not stop them in the beginning. I grabbed the spray to kill them and as I was killing them my two oldest came over to watch me. Here's what they had to say....

"The ants are yelling, 'Oh, no, what's happening?' right now."

"Look at them run. The babies are crying, 'Mommy, who is doing this to us? Where is this poison coming from? Help me! Help me!'"

"The ants are asking for someone to help them, but they are not going to get any help. You are killing them."

"They are all going to die. They are not happy. They are scared."

I must say if their plan was to make me feel bad. It worked, but I still had to kill them because they bite hard.

Cat and Binkie

My daughter came to tell me the following...

"I got on top of the cat and sat on him and he said, 'Wrrroww.' Then I put the binkie (the baby's binkie) in his mouth."
