Quality family time

Trying to be good parents, Jacob and I wanted to play a game with the kids. Chutes and Ladders was chosen and the setting up of the board began. Within seconds, the bickering started.

"I don't want to be that boy, he doesn't even look like me."

"Well I'm not going to be a boy, I'm a girl."

"I want the one with blonde hair like me."

And then from the couch, in the whiniest, most pathetic voice I believe I have ever heard,

"We don't have a boy without any hair that looks like me!"

I laid my head down on the computer desk in front of me and laughed hysterically. For a very, very long time. My husband can be one funny man.
