The Barneys: Going Private . . .

Going Private . . .

Well, it's time. We've decided to go private. So please send me an email at brittney.barney@gmail.com so I make sure I get an invite out to you. We plan to be private by May 20 or thereabouts.
So let me know!

In the meantime, we're coaching Summer to start walking, we're making packing lists and to do lists for Brazil, Rhett's studying for finals, and I'm now teaching three piano students. Summer and I had a great time visiting the latest addition to the Searle family: Noah Nelson, and we sure miss him now!

Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"

"Summer, why do you keep unplugging the TV?" Summer: "Because it's tempted to turn it back on. It's tempted, mom. So I unplug it."

"I wish my head was in my mouth so I could see what my tongue was doing."

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"

Claire told me she had "something" in her underwear. I asked her if she had an accident. She said, "No. I had a tooter and poop came out. Shooted right in there."

Me: "Stick your finger in your ear and see if you can get some of that ear wax out." Claire: "Nooooo. Because we have to lick it and that's how we wash it."

Claire: "No fry, baby. No fry." (Don't cry)

Claire, looking at her reflection in the oven glass: "Ook! Ook!" --- "Who is it, Claire?" --- "Nummer! Nummer!"

Things You Get to Say When You're a Parent that You Wouldn't Say Otherwise

"Just sit there until you find your shirt."
"Don't eat my hair."
"Because that's just the way he is. Some people only have one eye." (regarding a minion from "Despicable Me.")
After Claire pooped in the bathtub: "I keep thinking to myself--"Is that broccoli? Or poop? . . . This is like a horror movie."
"She stuck the key in What?!?"
"There's a buggy!" (aka bug)
"Stop eating things out of the garbage!"
"Please don't eat the chapstick."
"Hey! Don't sit on the cheese!"
"You're shirt's on upside down." (Not backwards or inside out, but, yes, upside down)
