Overheard

We have a LOT of road construction going on around our town lately. Yesterday I was nearly stuck on how to get back home, with one road being closed and another being a traffic jam.  As I muttered to myself in the car about how in the world we were going to get home from WalMart, A quietly said, "We could apparate."

At a diner for dinner with the family.  E ordered lemonade but the woman brought root beer by mistake
Me: E, do you want to have root beer instead?
E: Mom, I can't drink root beer! It has alcohol in it!

Love the comment about root beer - last year, D came home from school quite upset about something... When he was finally able to voice his frustration, he wanted to know why he couldn't have beer, because EVERYONE else in his class could have it!

(A kid had brought a 2 L of root beer for a class party, something I never buy because I don't care for it, and D just knew that "beer" wasn't an acceptable little boy drink, which led to the drama.)
