Sunday Funnies

Typical dinner conversation in the Petersen house:

(Context: Ian had gone out to his grandmother's farm to help do some yard work, and potentially begin cleaning out some of the old buildings. The girls didn't go, but wanted to know why Ian had to clean out the buildings.  We said that they needed to be cleaned out because at some point Helen would be moving off the farm and its something that will take a long time and is best to do little by little.)


Cora: What?!  Why would she move off the farm??!!

Ian: A farm is a lot of work to take care of and right now it's just Grandma Helen out there and she can't do all of it by herself.

Evaline: Then, maybe she should get a new husband. What so he could help do work. [note: that isn't a typo; that is how she talks]

Ian: Yeah, I don't think that's a realistic option.

Evaline: We can find her a man then.  He doesn't have to be her husband.  When is her birthday?

Ian: January.

Evaline: Ok, then.  We have until January.  You guys [pointing at me and Ian] start looking for a man to help Grandma Helen.

Ian: That's very sweet, but we aren't getting Grandma Helen a man for her birthday.

Cora: Can we at least get her a Justin Bieber t-shirt?! [special emphasis added by Cora's actual dialogue, not me]

Caveat that Ian insists on including: they learned absolutely nothing about Justin Bieber in our house. Nothing. The blame entirely should be placed on daycare kids.
