I think that Nigel (king of the conspiracy theories) has brainwashed my girls. Now keep in mind that Frances is 10 and Alice-Grace is only five. Here is a recent conversation in our house:NIGEL: Guess who's poisoning us now!
FRANCES: The government?
And this was yesterday in the car. Now imagine her saying this through clenched teeth trying to look very nonchalant:
ALICE-GRACE: Mom, don't do anything illegal. I just saw a police car. Act normal. Do you have your driver's license with you?
Oh, it's going to be fun raising these two!

Your kids sound awesome.
I wonder if I am doing something similar by explaining in graphic detail what will happen if they have an accident doing particular activities.
That's why the other day Guille said, "Why am I not allowed to do that? Is it because then my face will come off and I won't be able to eat anymore?"
Yes.
SHANA -- they are awesome, but a little too obsessed with Area 51 and crop circles.
AZUCAR -- I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you explain these things to your kids. You are the best!!!
I love conspiracy theororists (I made that up--either that or I misspelled it. whatever).
azúcar--my friends are putting in a pool with an alarm system--because they have a pushy neighbor. But they've told all the kids that if they come over without permission and trigger the alarm it will literally shock their swimsuit right off of them (they get electrocuted and denuded) and they will have to run all the way home naked.
CW -- that pool story cracks me up. I think that I'm going to run down your street naked yelling "They were right! They were right!" Everyone will just think I'm my sister, anyway, and that'll REALLY spice up the neighborhood!
I think my husband and Nigel would get along quite well. My kids say the same things about mass posioning, and elaborate about China taking over the world in outsourcing and how everything at Wal-Mart is posioned. Yeah, great stuff.
OH.MY.GOD! LMAO!
RYNELL -- maybe they can get together and swap tin foil hats (so the aliens can't read their minds).
BOUFMOM9 -- yeah, I'm sure your kids say crazy things, too (times three!).
Yeah, Lois, and when your naked screaming self shows up on YOUTUBE I will continue to stand by you (clothed, of course).
GEO -- again, I'll say it's my sister.
Okay, we read this a while ago, but we just read it again and we're still laughing!
MICAH -- yeah, they are too funny. Now my kids do it all the time whenever they see a police car or a police officer -- "Mom, don't do anything illegal!"
