Crescent rolls

This summer, the kids had so much fun with their grandparents in Paris. We are still not sure if the grandparents have recovered from all the chaos yet 😉

4-year-old: Mom, grandpa said he’s dead!
Me: Why?
4-year-old: I jumped on his back.
Me: Is he really dead?
4-year-old: Maybe not, because he’s still talking!!
