The lessons we are teaching

11:30 and the kids have been asleep for about 20 minutes. We ate soup at 10:00, despite the fact it has been 90 degrees for what feels like forever and the rest of the state is dying. We have zero regrets about our air conditioner, we even say that to each other daily.

Back to the soup... It was a disaster. I started making it too late and had to leave it to go to the park with the kids. When we got back, I tried to pick up where I left it and I started heating it up again only to have it never thicken, boil over all over the stove, and then burn on the bottom. Whatever, I was going to eat it anyway. So at 10:00, we ate soup. It was sort of like a deli soup, one where you wouldn't send it back and you would eat it because it was there, but you wouldn't order it next time. The kids only ate some because they didn't want to go to bed and even then, Owen ate the broth, Ivy ate the carrots, and Autumn ate the broccoli. 

Greg cleaned up the disaster I made from making disaster soup. Bless him for that, cause I really didn't want to and it has been a long day. He is a good egg. 

Well, I thought that anyway until Autumn told me what he has been teaching her. I asked her if she washed her hair in the bath. She said yes, when of course the answer was no. Greg reminded her that she was lying to which she proudly informed me of the following: 

"Daddy says if you want to lie, then just lie."

Greg swears that isn't true, but coming from someone who teaches if you want to lie, then just lie, I am not sure who to believe. 

She looked very convinced.
