Overheard

In the car, on the way home from Dallas (please remember that we were all tired and worn out):

  • Rex: I have a crush on all the girls in my class.
  • Elisabeth: You can't have a crush on anyone until you're 16, Rex!
  • Hannah: No! That's dating. No dating until you're 16.
  • Daddy: No, I didn't say no crushes until you're 16. I said no crushes until after your missions.
  • Hannah: Dad, what's the difference between a crush and dating?
  • Elisabeth: There is no difference.
  • Caleb: Right, no difference.
  • Mom: Yes, there's a difference.
  • Elisabeth: A crush is where you like someone a really really lot, and they don't like you back.
  • Daddy: Weeeelll, whether they like you back or not doesn't really matter.
  • Caleb: When do you get crushes?
  • Daddy: Not until after your missions!
  • Mom: When did you get your first crush, Dad?
  • Daddy: I've never had crushes.
  • Rex: But Dad, that's not true!! You have a crush. You're in crush with Mommy!

We can always rely on Rex to keep everything straight around here!

  1. "You're in crush with Mommy!"

    That sounds like some form of abuse :-).

    And why does Elisabeth know so much about crushes?
