Entertaining the Delivery Guy

I need to record this funny story before it's gone from my memory. I want to be able to look back at these times and laugh as a family.

And besides, despite the occasions were I write my deep intellectual musings my readers seem to prefer cute stories from my kids. :)

Last night in attempt to ease the stress of our day we ordered a pizza. (yes, we are normal once in awhile!)

Ben had set out the money by the front door on the ledge and when the delivery guy got there it was gone. The guy waited while he looked around the ledge and then asked the kids what happened to it.

"Kavan took it!" Kaylin was happy to chime in.
"Did you take it Kav?" "yeah" (grinning ear to ear)
"Where did he put it?" (Ben)
"Kaylin, please go show us right now where it is." (me)

She hops down from the table, "It's in his money bank" and heads upstairs. Meanwhile we finally let the delivery guy in out of the cold. I followed Kaylin to two blue piggy banks in Kav's room where she explained the quarters were in one and the paper in the other. I couldn't get them open!

I brought down the piggy banks to Ben where the delivery guy is just laughing. He pried the bottom things off and shook out the cash and even the coupon.

Ben didn't think it was funny! Hopefully he'll finally get a laugh when he reads this. :)

Another new thing yesterday - Kaylin has started imitating our spelling to each other (you know, when you say to your spouse "do you want them to have a s-n-a-c-k?")
"Mom, Kavan just called Madelynn a p-o-s-s-t!"

We're still working on the tattling thing...
