is always telling me " You're crazy " or " You're nuts " or " You drive me

crazy! "

Then I say, " No, you're a crazy little man " and he laughs. One time I told

him he was a cutie pie and he said, " Mom, I am not a pie " .

and the notation of the math symbol for pi .... I was puzzled and asked her,

" Stef, why did this boy write Stef you are a (and the symbols) "

BeCUZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Mom, I am a " cutie pie! " ;-)

Those kids will all flunk in college if they plagiarize there and mommy and

daddy won't be able to do a darn thing about it! Ugh! I hate hearing things

like this! I wonder if that teacher could have sued the school district.

That is soooooo wrong for her to lose her job over something that is illegal.

Jackie,

A year or so ago, Karrie ate 4 pieces of pizza for dinner. I told her

she was a pig. She signed right back, no pig, cow.

I cannot call any name other than or my son

gets really mad. He definatly does not like cuty pie

or sweet or any of those silly affectionate names we

call our kids. I always have to assure him I am just

fooling or being loving but he just does not like it

and tells me so. Pam

Sheila is the same way. If I call her cutie pie she will tell me that her big

sis is the cutie pie. So, I come back with, " Well, you're my pumpkin " and

then she tells me her younger sister is the pumpkin, " I'm Sheila! " , she'll

exclaim loudly.
