No Clone Home

Somehow our daughter got some horrible thought in her head the other day from another kid at school, and before we knew it she was walking around the house yelling "Let's Go Cyclones"! Needless to say, we put a stop to that quickly. In fact, Amy went as far as telling her and the rest of our children that we would throw them out on the street if we heard that again in our house (jokingly of course........well, maybe not).

So, last night we were at a church couples group and had one of our babysitters (Maddy) over who is a high school senior. When we got home we asked her how things went and she responded with this story:

She was getting the kids ready for bed and somehow a discussion began about what Maddy was going to do after she graduated high school. Well, Maddy is interested in veterinary school and is planning on going to ISU, so she told the kids she was going to go to Iowa State.

Kinnick instantly responded by telling her "Don't tell my mom that or she will throw you out of the house!"

Now that's a message we're glad went through loud and clear. :-)
