Whenever I'm feeling a little too smug and self-confident, I can always rely on my children to knock me down a peg or two:

James: Mom, when will you get a proper job?
Me: What do you mean by "proper"?
James: Because being at the University sounds like you're still learning to be someone.

Hannah: Mom, sing in your church voice.
Me: I have a church voice?
Hannah: Yes.
Me: What does it sound like?
Hannah: You know: like you're screaming.

Sigh.
