Things that make me laugh

Me: "Cowen, how'd you get so smart?"

Cowen: "Video games, I guess."

Me: "You're all in quiet time for 15 minutes."

Emeline pushes open the door and attempts to exit her room: "I'm choosing to be happy."

Me: "That's great! Get inside your room so I can lock the door."

Emeline, shrieking: "But I'm choosing to be happy!!!!"

Five minutes later, Emeline, sobbing through the vent (the girls stand on the toy kitchen when they want to talk to us and yell into the vent): "Mom, I'm choosing to be happy!"

Me: "Cowen, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Cowen: "Well, it's kind of confusing because I really like cowboys and I really like knights."
