Tuesday tidbits

Conversation with Ashley this morning:
Ashley: Mommy, Sister (Natalie) said she wants trade me stickers.
Me: (knowing Natalie said no such thing and Ashley is just acting as the instigator) Are you sure, Ashley? Are you fibbing to me?
Ashley: No Mommy. I not fibbing.
Me: Okay then. Want to know a secret? Santa Claus doesn't bring gifts to little girls who tell fibs.
Ashley: WHAT?! Really, Mommy?
Me: Really!
Ashley: Okay. I was fibbing, Mommy! (laughs) Tell Santa I was fibbing, Mommy.
Me: Thank you for telling me the truth, Ashley. It's important to always tell the truth.
Ashley: Mommy?
Me: Yes, Ashley?
Ashley: I think I won't fib any more.

Oh yes. I just pulled the Santa Claus card. And I will continue to pull that card as long as it takes. I've got no shame in my Mommy Game.

I bought a 4 lb box of grapes on Friday. As of this morning I have just a small bunch left. Not that big of a deal you say? Well consider the fact that between Ashley, Jake and I we've ate maybe 25 grapes total. If you are what you eat, then it won't be long before Natalie is a talking bottle of wine.
I sure hope it's a white zinfandel.
