Family Funnies

We've had a few over the past few weeks....

Luke:

  • While driving home from church I casually asked Luke what he talked about during sundae school, without looking up from his DS he said, "Jesus and the Leprechauns."  I was caught off guard by this, started laughing and repeated my question to which he replied, "you know, Jesus and the Leprechauns."  My brain was in hyperdrive, wheels ablazin' trying to figure out what he could possibly mean by this statement.  Then all at once it came to me and I said, "Oooh, you mean Jesus and the Lepers???"  He stopped playing, looked up at me and said, "Oh ya, that's it."  

  • Luke is taking tennis lessons this summer.  After the second practice he said, "real tennis is a lot harder than tennis on the wii."  

Carley:

  • We have reached a new level of happiness at our home.  Finally after about 2 1/2 years of begging, pleading and whining my kids have received pillow pets.  Carely is absolutely beside herself and for about 4 days after getting her beloved pillow pet she could be heard around the house hugging her unicorn, singing, "it's a pillow, it's a pet...it's a pillow pet!"  she know's the tv jingle!!   should I be worried that my kids watch too much tv or that her desire for this toy has made her insane??

  • If I haven't mentioned this before, Carley likes to sing.  She randomly breaks into song all during the day.  She also enjoys singing while using the bathroom.  My Dad's office is close to the bathroom and since she rarely closes the door, he is often serenaded.  So this morning she was at my bedside (before my alarm went off) and saying:
          C-mom, mom, i made up 2 new songs
          M-oh ya, let me hear them
          C-no, they're only for when I go potty
       
          i guess grandpa will be hearing a few new tunes this week!!

Emry:

emry's 2 front teeth had been hanging by threads for a few days.  i was praying that they wouldn't fall out before maggie's wedding...and they didn't, but the very next day she pulled the first one out.  5 minutes later she chickened out and this happened...

Brigham also ran around singing the pillow pet jingle after he got his prized pillow pet for Christmas. I'm guessing it's a common thing. Either that, or we watch way too much tv at our house too. :)

p.s. I loved the story about Luke's response to what he had learned in Sunday school. So funny!

So cute! That is really good to get them written down.

Maggie said...

Poor Emry! Why not just let them fall out by themselves?

Thanks for putting those funnies online for me to read. Good stuff. Nice job Emry!!

Oh, Maggie...If you could have seen the teeth, you'd have yanked them out too. We could barely talk to her b/c they were getting so obnoxious always moving around and changing position...teeth are supposed to be stationary!!!

The Cronicles of Tapa...the cat.

OK Cat lovers of the world explain this....we're going on vacation and wanted to board our cat, but they wouldn't take her unles...
