Things I overheard: Tanner style

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.--Franklin P. Jones, U.S. humorist

Tanner decides to wash his hair ...in the sink instead of showering.

Me: "You have made a mess, Tanner." said with a growl.

Tanner: " Yes. *sigh* It was a lot of work."

A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.--Ralph Waldo Emerson, (1803--1883), U.S. essayist

Durring the same morning Tanner suffers a series of Hiccup's!.

Me: "Tanner stop burping!" *crusty look appropriately given*

*Hiccup!*

Tanner: gives look of surprise.

*Hiccup!*

Me: "oh! you have the hiccup's."

*Hiccup!*

*pause*

*Hiccup!*

*pause*

*Hiccup!-beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelch!*

Me: *Stern look*

Tanner: "What? It had hiccup in it!"
