"That's the store that we need to go to and open the door and put our money in." (At age 3. While driving by the new Toys 'R' Us.)

'Divorce is when mommy and daddy yell at each other then they spread apart. Then they put up a 'for sale' sign in front of the house and they spread farther and farther apart until they can't come back ever again and it's very sad.' (teaching her 4-year old brother)
Emily McClelland (at age 7)
Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.

Steve, I literally was laughing out loud at this! I made my husband and son come in to read it because it’s just so funny! Then I showed Kevin the pictures from the pumpkin patch and your funny Discovery Kingdom cards and Kevin said “I want to be in their family!”
Cheryl, glad you like the post. Sorry I never finished it. I tend to not post the photos of late-night homework sessions or dinner table arguments. Nevertheless, tell Kevin he can be an honorary McClelland Family member whenever he likes. I have two kids I wouldn’t mind swapping out from time to time.
