Family Funnies

We've enjoyed a few good laughs lately....

• The other day I was at the store with all 3 kids.  The girls were in the bathroom, Luke and I were waiting outside.  He turns to me, pointing to the men's bathroom sign and says in complete seriousness, "Mom, why do they always have alien writing on these?"  I thought what?  alien writing?  where?  it took me a split second to realize he wasn't making a joke and that he didn't know what braille was! 
• My friend Judy was over on Sunday afternoon.  She was in the process of giving in to Carley's constant need for nourishment, by peeling her a clementine.  When she offered the fruit of her labors to Carley she politely declined saying, "Um, no thanks.  I had one this morning and it was born with seeds." 
• The kids have swim class on Tuesday & Thursday afternoons.  They're in charge of packing their own bag for class.  They have to have a towel, swim cap, goggles, flip fops and undies for afterward.  Well I was off my game, we were running late and had to rush to get everyone out the door in time.  I thought they were getting their bags together, but it turns out that everyone forgot undies.  The girls were very concerned and I told them they'd have to just wear their swim suits home because Carley had a dress on, no biggie.  From the passenger seat, Luke pipes up, "Why?"  I shoot him a quizzical glance, but he doesn't wait for me to respond, instead he just continues, "we live in Spain, people are naked all the time."                                                                                                                                                    

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP FOLKS!  We currently live in a country that is pretty lax when it comes to personal modesty.  It is a fact.  People are topless and sometimes bottomless at the beach.  Little girls don't wear swim tops until they hit puberty...and that is a very gray line for some people.  If you have to go to the bathroom, any ditch, corner or bush will do.   Even TV commercials show nudity, in the middle of the day!  I wasn't sure if Luke was noticing all of this because he's a very quite boy when it comes to such things...I guess I have my answer.
