another cotter story

One more funny story from Cotter...

Last night I was getting frustrated with my kids because I was having to ask them a million times to do something and they continued to ignore me. I sat down with them and had a nice long talk about how they had been acting and how I wanted them to act. Then Cotter said, "Oh Mommy, I'm sorry. What can I do right now for you?" I said, "Cotter, you're so sweet. Thank you. Please go right now and pick up the toys in your room." He said okay and seriously within 3 minutes he was back fighting with his brother and yelling and screaming! So I said, "Hey Cotter. Do you remember a few minutes ago when "Sweet Cotter" was here? He asked me what he could do to help me. Could you please go and find "Sweet Cotter" and bring him back here?" He got a serious look on his face and said, "Well, Mommy. I can't do that." I asked him why and he said, "He went to Germany!"

Hmmm...Germany. Maybe that's also where sweet Katie and sweet Collin go too. That's so funny!

Could I love that little goober anymore? Und Ich liebe dich. I found my old German notebook the other day and I am determined to email you in German so you will have just another opportunity to practice:)
