Daddy knows everything

Sitting at the dinner table Tuesday night, Kaitlin and William start talking about their "BFF".  I'm staying quiet trying to figure out what in the world they are talking about.  In my mind, anything that is an acronym BFF just doesn't sound like it has good intentions.  So as I'm listening trying to figure it out, Kaitlin blurts out "Daddy, who is your BFF?"  In my mind, I'm like oh crap.  Christine was watching me and says, "I don't think Daddy even knows what a BFF is.  You need to explain it to him."

KK starts giggling, puts her hands over her face and is so tickled.  She was so excited and then says (while laughing I must add): "Oh my goodness, Daddy knows everything but he doesn't know what BFF is." She then proceeds to bust out in laughter....  They quickly explained to me that BFF is Best Friends Forever. 

By the way, my response was "Mommy".   William chimed in, "She can't be your best friend." 

The adventures of five and six year olds. 
Peace out

William and school

Just got back from a wonderful vacation.  Will post updates and pictures soon.  First day back at school on Monday, William had to pull a "red" card.  Not good.  Green, Yellow and Red to reflect daily behavior.  I asked William, "what happened at school?".  He reluctantly said, "I pulled a Red card today."
My reply "why"
William "For talking and the teacher said I pushed someone.  Dad, I didn't push anyone."
My reply "When were you talking"
William "Lunch"
My reply "You need to stop talking during quiet time"
William "I know Dad, but I had a million things to talk about"

I had to turn and laugh.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree....
