Dinner and homework

While preparing dinner tonight, I had a pot of water on the stove. John came over and blew at the flames on the burner. I said "What are you doing?" He said "What? It's flambago!" 

For the past couple of nights, Clover (Gillian's bunny) has been sitting in the baby seat at the dinner and breakfast table. Gillian likes to tell us what he is eating. At breakfast, "Him is eating carrot muffins!" At dinner tonight, "Clover is eating carrot soup! Him is a good boy!"

After dinner, John had to study for his spelling test. I would give him a word to spell and he would write it on a dry erase board. I said "Tight." While John was sounding out the word and trying to spell it Gillian tried to help. She said "No. Kite. Write kite." She wasn't helping.
