Darren (spying a book by Joyce Meyer on an end cap): "Hey, that's the lady from the TV show Grandma watches."
Mommy: "Wow Darren, you're exactly right. It is."
Sarah: "What's the name of the book?"
Mommy: "100 Ways to Simplify Your Life."
Sarah: "What is it about?"
Mommy: "Well, to simplify something means to make it easier; so I'm guessing if people have complicated lives, they'd like that book."
Sarah: "Oh I could use that book, my life is complicated."
Darren (outraged): "You're life is complicated? MY life is complicated. I've got tae kwon do. I've got school. I've got my dog..."
Mommy (interrupting): "We don't have a dog, Darren..."
Darren: "But when we do, it'll be mostly my responsibility. It's complicated."
Suppose it's a good thing Darren can find such relaxation via what must be "water therapy."

Oh my goodness! Poor Darren's life IS complicated! All the stress of worrying about the dog even! haha!! Poor kids...what you must put them through! ha!
OMG that is so funny...what's hialrious to me is that many children do lead complicated lives these days. He's like an old soul! Loved this and thank goodness for blogs to document this stuff.
That had me laughing out load! Too funny!
This is hysterical. I look that he feels the burden of responsibility for an absent dog. Weight of the world on that one, right? Good thing he's got therapy. I could use some therapy like that...
HAHAHAHAH! That is so funny :) Your kids are too cute.
That's one smart kid!
What a complicated life! You gotta love them, I love that age!
That was too funny Cheryl! i had to read it aloud to Donnie! So many complications!
Darren and I are the same.
I always assume something new is going to be MY responsibility...AND I am very impressed that your little twins were just throwing around the word complicated.
Ahah!! I love that "my life is complicated" lol. What's great is that I remember being that age and thinking the same thing. Little do they know.
Your kids are so funny! Darren's comment had me laughing aloud!
I just love these conversations you have with the kids. Such a nice laugh.
hahaha...life is so hard, right. your kids are too cute cheryl, where do they come up with these things...lol
HOW CUTE IS HE???
Regarding canines, I have a rule: "Nothing else that poops will be allowed into the house."
My boys want a dog. I tell them "Sure. You can have one ... when you move out."
oh how I wish that I had the complicated life of a child. Darren just cracks me up.
