[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Kids' house aspirations

[Kristi Smith]

It's okay Alora!  I have 6, 5 girls and 1 boy. Three of them prefer Gyffindor, my oldest, who is 12, prefers Slytherin, and my 6 year-old is a Hufflepuff.  I've been sorted into Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, so either would be fine with me! :D
Kristi, who knows everyone thinks I have too many kids, but I had to keep trying for that little boy!! ; )

Cool!  I wish I had thought to do that to my kids' bags of BB's.  I 
got ahold of a vomit one while walking through the mall and I 
thought I was going to be sick!  It was terrible.  When I opened my 
kids' bags, I could smell the vomit one - eeewww.  We found it and 
threw it out, hehe.  Nasty.

I have four children that love HP.  The oldest one (he'll be 11 
tomorrow) prefers Slytherin.  That just floored me, but I don't know 
why.  He's the sneakiest one in the house and he's very good at 
debating with me on any subject from chores to the "why do I need to 
do this?  I won't use this EVER in my life."  We go 'round 
and 'round.  The second son wants to be a Gryffindor - he loves 
Harry, has a Harry wand and robe and wishes he had dark hair (his is 
dishwater blonde).  The third son is almost 7, and he gets confused 
because he has two older brothers he looks up to and he doesn't know 
which house he likes, Gryffindor or Slytherin.  He ends up 
frustrated when they are all playing Harry Potter, and it doesn't 
help when your older brothers keep saying, "You HAVE to pick a 
house, hurry up or I'm not playing!!"  Then I have a 3 year old 
daughter that honestly believes she is Hermione.  She runs around 
with a Hermione wand screeching, "Wingardium Leviosa!"  Or she will 
say, "It's Le-vi-O-sa, not Le-vi-o-SA."  She even does the accent!  
I think it's hilarious.  

As for me, I am a Hufflepuff all the way.  I figured I was, and 
multiple online sortings have only proved that ;).  

Alora, who's thinking that you all are probably thinking I have too 
many kids!  :D
