things a parent doesn't want to hear...

Andrew, coming in from outside: "Hey mom! What does this nail go to?" while holding a loose nail in his blue-mittened hand.

Peter, after climbing into my bed on a Monday morning: "I so soakin' wet."
Yeah, he wasn't kidding...sheets, pillow and blanket from his bed as well as his PJs went in the laundry...all before 7:30 am!
