Reminds me of when my son was 2 and he was raving about something one day calling it "back yard against." It took me forever to figure out he was not talking about a creature in our backyard, but a TV show called "Backyardigans." I didn't have cable at the time, so I didn't know about it. Anyway, what a stupid name for a show. He loved it, though.

All 5 of my little 2nd cousins were at the Memorial Day cookout today. The only girl outta all of 'em, she's 6, was a hoot. Tells my sister "Bayley wants to date you." (Bayley is the 7yr old one)
Talking to me, "Does Buddy eat werewolves?," "Buddy is bigger than a werewolf." "[Werewolves] try to get Tinkerbell to have babies."
She is very informative, I did not know all these things about my black lab Buddy.

"I don't like Saint Bernard houses."
"Where do you see a St.Bernard house?"
"Over there." (Points to woods as we drive along.)
"What makes them 'Saint Bernard' houses?"
"Because they look like apple trees."

My 10-year-old stepdaughter was apparently planning on giving this to her math teacher. Fortunately she forgot and had it in her bag instead, so we saw it first.




......................................................................Why I don't have my homewerk
.......................................................................................................right now in
........................................................................................................this room

First of all, I did finish my homework, so please stop saying I didn't! Second of all, I tried to find it and I looked all over my house and my mom's car! When I finally figured out where it was, it was to late, becaue the school was closed! This morning I went to the lost and found to look for my things, but I didn't find it, which ment that I wouldn't get my things until the end of the school day! I don't know if your actually going to read what I'm writing, but my point is that I did do my homework and I finished it at 2:50 and if I had it right now I wouldn't have missed any more than probobly five questions. I know I am good in math, and misplacing one homework asignment will not change my opinion on my skill! I'm obviously mad, but not because of the punishment. I'm upset because you gave me the consequence of being lazy and not doing my homework, when I did finish it, and I am sure I did good on. If you really want to make sure, I'll show you it today when I get my paper back from the YMCA after school care, if Ms. Tanya (the consulor) still has it. My mom already knows that I left my homework there, but if you still want the signiture, then fine. Once again, I don't care about the punishment, I care more about my grade then recess. Everything I wrote in this is true, I can do another worksheet if you're really mad and want me to. I'm not saying that I like homework, by the way.

A friend of the family died a couple months ago, but I just heard this story. My brother and his wife took the girls to the visitation. Later, someone asked the 3 year old about it (gauging her curiosity, seeing if she had questions...that kind of thing.)

She shrugged and sighed and said "We got there and he was already dead."

There's no mistaking she's my niece.

The girl, doing her best Philippe.

Me: Why do you like wearing your shoes so much?

Her: Because you're tall!

Me: You like to wear your shoes because it makes you taller?

Her: Yes!

Me: What's so good about being tall?

Her: EATING SAUSAGE!

OK, this has just made me laugh out loud at my kids and their mate.

For some reason they've decided to play 'shooting each other' games, and their collection of weapons is as follows.

Aden has a tennis racquet machine gun, a cat toy flail, and a recorder hand gun.

Mav is using an old broken fishing rod as a sniper rifle and their friend Mitch is using a stick they pulled out of the garden (probably one that was holding a plant up).

It's because she was a bad mom and didn't buy them toys guns. My kids will shoot with anything too. One day Hector made a pistol from Lego that actually fired a brick

Impressive! Sign him up with the Defense Department!! When we invade Denmark we'll be able to forage native materials to build firearms on the fly.
