the things they have learned...so proud

my kids are sweaty and thirsty walking into dance class, so we dart into the little newpaper store nearby (which in my entire life LIVING in this town, i have YET to ever be inside- weird right?)...anyway, there was only a vending/soda machine. overflowing with cruddy choices. eh, whatever. the battle against dehydration is a never-ending fight. we must stand up to it fearlessly, with WHATEVER resources available...i digress; they both choose ginger ale. then this happens:

me: you BOTH want ginger ale? then why don't you just SPLIT a can?

remy*: i do NOT want to SHARE a can with him...(insert sassy head bob here)...i am NOT drinking his backwash..."

ezra**: yah, i am NOT drinkin HER backwash EITHER...

me: alrighty then. (insert shocked face here-who are these children?)

**age 6- learns about 'backwash' and teaches concept to younger sister
*age 4- applies learned material in context with extra sass for good flavor
