How I know it is summer vacation.

I have recieved no less than 6 phone calls today:

Can I have a cookie

Can I watch a movie

Mom, can I paint a picture

The list goes on and on...but this one is my all time favorite from today:

Hannah calls:

H: Mom, Jake twisted my arm and now it realllllly hurts.
M: Why did he do that?
H: Well I was just rubbing his head and he turned around and all the sudden he twisted my arm and now it really does hurt. He is mean!
M: Put Jake on the phone please...
J: Yeah Mom
M: Why did you twist her arm?
J: Mom she was pulling my hairs out one at a time I asked her to stop and she didn't so I twisted her arm.
M: Jake she shoudln't be doing that to you but that doesn't mean you have to hurt her in return. You need to apologize to her. Please put Hannah on the phone.
J: I will but she needs to say sorry to me too.
M: I will talk to her...
H: Yeah Mommy?
M: Why were you pulling his hair?
H: Well it wasn't like I was doing it THAT hard.
M: You shouldn't be doing it at all and you need to tell him your sorry!
H: OK but he needs to pay for my Medical Bills....I need some medical attention!
M: (Trying to hold it back) Hannah you don't need medical attention....just say sorry and keep your hands to yourself, PLEASE!
H: OK Mommy...bye!

Yeah, summer vacation is upon us.
