Interesting conversations to be heard if you just listen...

This should be good. Listening to the kids in the next room discuss "the biggest mistake I ever made." Carly's question to the boys..."Are we talking mildly bad, really bad or Oh Good Grief bad?"

Ryan said we all knew what his was and he wasn't saying it out loud. (He's right. We did.)

Wesley had a hard time coming up with anything. Once prompted to really think he came up with lying one time and stealing/hoarding the candy.

Carly was able to ramble off a list a half a mile long without much of a pause whatsoever. She mentioned breaking her retainer. Hitting the kid with the chair. Trying to hit Jacob and getting her finger smashed. Leaning on Ryan's legs and breaking her tooth when he jerked his legs away from her. Eating Fried Koolaid at the Fall Festival.

She continued on with Breaking Billski's boat charger (Don't think we even knew this). Cheating. Letting Jacob, Luke, Aiden and Seth tie her hands together and hang her from a bunk bed. (I can see where she might regret that) Lying. Standing by and watching a 2 year old break countless (well, actually 11) Little Precious figurines and doing nothing to stop him. Spanking Ryan. (yes, she did -- an actual spanking) Hitting Jacob in the head with a baseball bat.

Well, I think she's about done. She came to the conclusion on her own that the majority of the problems in her young life came from disobeying and lying. Wise kid.

Jacob happens to be gone. I'll have to ask him later.
