Mercy Me

True statements. Heard with my own ears from my own kids. All in the same day.

Mercy me.

"I thought I could pull the string off and when it kept coming I thought I just needed to pull harder."

"I think I used my muscles too much because I didn't really actually pull that hard. Just maybe a little too much."

"Since my glove was stuck in the tree I thought I could throw something bigger and heavier to get it down."

"What would you ever do without me, Mom? You would probably cry a lot because the boys are so loud and messy all the time, right?"

And again, I say mercy me.
