The other night Candice & I both had errands to run so we went together, including the kids. While in the car I realized we were running a little behind and told Candice I needed to be home by 7 to wake up CSP who was sleeping in the closet so he could get ready to go to work. He’s doing the whole 3rd shift thing for a few more days.  Meanwhile the girls (ages 5 & 3) are in the way back chatting and Charlie is in the 2nd row.Me- So do you think we can get to Sam’s and make it home by 7?  I have to wake Jon up to get him off to work.  He’s asleep in the closet though so there aren’t any phones near him so I need to be there to get him up.*a few more lines of conversation between Candice and I then there was a pause.Then from the back of the van, 5 year old Ellie piped up in her sweet little voice…Ellie- Did I just hear you say that Jon’s asleep in the closet?Me- Yes you did.Maggie- Was he bad?Oh man, those kids crack me up to no end!  And Ellie!  Nothing gets by her!  She’s like a 30 year old in a 5 year old body.  Smart as a whip.  Then you’ve got Maggie who says the funniest things.  They’re like the classic comedy pairing.  The straight man and the funny side kick.So later I was over at their house and I told Ellie how smart she is and that she had a big brain.  Then Maggie came over to me so I told her she had a big brain too.  She came back with…I don’t have a brain, I have a ponytail.
