A few funnies
This morning when I was fixing Mia’s daily cup of cocoa, I accidentally knocked the container of Nesquik onto the floor. The lid popped off and chocolate powder went everywhere and that has pretty much been the way of things around here today. So to cheer myself up, here are some funnies from the girls I’ve been saving for just such an occasion. Nine-month-pregnant me struggles up off the couch… Amy: Mom, do you feel as big as an elephant? (Implied: because you certainly look as big as an elephant.) After one of the first diaper changes at home… Mia: Can we see that little wiggly thing again? It’s cute. They’ve noticed the circumcision and I’m trying to explain in a non-scary way… Me: So boys have a bit of extra skin there that the doctor has to cut off. Mia (clamping knees together): What do they do to the girls? After I’ve overheard a brief, heated argument in the other room… Amy: No. Me: Mia, are you hurt? (Because Amy sometimes hits.) Mia: Well, do you hear me crying? Taking a walk around the neighborhood last week… Amy: Hear that sound? I think it’s a woodpecker. Me: I think it’s a sprinkler. Amy: It really is a woodpecker, Mom. Me (teasing): Maybe you’re doing it. Amy (very seriously): No, because I don’t have a pecker. On that same walk after we’d all run across the road… Amy: Grown-ups only run when a car is chasing them. One more – an oldie, but a goodie. When Amy started kindergarten she made friends immediately with a boy named Dalton. Within the first week they were holding hands and vowing to marry. Amy: Dalton kissed me today. Me (alarmed): Where? Amy (dreamily): Everywhere but the library. Dan will probably get after me for posting the woodpecker one since that word isn’t really what you want to hear out of the mouth of your nine-year-old. But I couldn’t resist.

Too bad you didn’t choose a career as a Stand-up Comedian….you’ve obviously been blessed with two never-ending supplies of material!
