Overheard @ The Nelson's, v.8
Part One
Me: Simon says jump up and down.
Me: Simon says lift your hands up high.
Martin: Simon says punch your face.
Martin: Simon says punch your mouth.
Martin: Simon says punch your eye.
Martin: Simon says punch your nose.
Editorial note: This ended up to be mostly a one-sided conversation because as soon as Martin started calling out the new Simon actions I started laughing so hard that I could no longer speak, tears ran down my face as I sat there and watched him do those things. That's the kind of mother I am. After it was over, the only thing I could think about was that I wish I had caught it on video because I believe that Nora would have wet her pants watching it. And I'm that kind of fake-sister.
Part Two
Sophie: Dear God, thanks for good meal and Martin and Daddy and Sophie and momma. And please more stuffing. A-MEN.
Me: Simon says jump up and down.
Me: Simon says lift your hands up high.
Martin: Simon says punch your face.
Martin: Simon says punch your mouth.
Martin: Simon says punch your eye.
