I have got a story to tell!

Santa will be here soon. I'm trying to be festive but Im not doing a very good job! Christmas at my parents tends to be overwhelming for me. My mother and I clash on many different levels. We disagree on everything. Haven actually told her that she was living vicarioulsy through me. As you can imagine she didn't like hearing that. I adore my sister for defending me on most cases. Except where her son is involved.

Matty looked at me and said to me that he "Has got a baby brother or baby sister"
I said to him that he "Has a baby brother/sister on the way"

Growing up, Mom hated the word 'GOT'. She insisted that we never use the word. Jordan overheard my conversation and said that he 'encourages Matt to use as many words as possible to extend his vocabulary, Got being one of them'. Of course, I bit my tongue and apologized even though I knew he wasn't helping his child learn proper speaking skills.

Oh well. I have got hunger now. I'm going to go indulge in some egg nog cookies and wrap presents.
