Grant can be the most stubborn little turkey. When he was about 2 years old he wasn’t really talking, but he had a few words to go along with some hand gestures. One of those was for getting down from his high chair at the table. He would say “down, down” and point down at […]
Why buy the toys when the box will suffice?
You may be asking yourself, “What the heck is that?” “Are they those nut-jobs who have plastic floor protectors running down their hallways and high-traffic areas?” “Oh no! I hope they aren’t the kind of people who keep the plastic on their lampshades…” “Do they have those stiff vinyl covers on their furniture?!” Of course […]
Mr. Literal
Devin has a few friends over. They are playing video games and being typical high school dudes. You know what cramps Devin’s style (besides his poor fashion sense?) A 4 year old trying to be one of the high school dudes. Grant was being a complete spaz, so I told him “Leave the big guys […]
I can’t imagine what his reading teacher thinks.
Middle school students are required to choose a reading book and keep it with them for English class. It’s called an SSR book. (I think it stands for Sustained Silent Reading or something like that.) To ensure that they remember to bring the book to class, the English teachers usually recommend that they just leave […]
Um, I think you missed a spot….
The Request: “Grant, please go do your hair.” The Result:
You found me how…?!
Sometimes I can see how new readers found my blog. A lot of people find me searching for dirty colons and for a Dan Quayle quotation (Yes Dan, I agree: how terrible it is to lose one’s mind…)But what did I write about that would have my blog pop up when some one googled Why […]
I’ll be here all week. Try the veal!
Mitch had his friend Geno over yesterday. They hung out all day, playing video games, playing with Legos, riding skateboards, etc… Basic 10 year old “guy” stuff. Geno stayed for dinner, where he proceeded to tell a joke. Here is the super-condensed version of his joke. I left out all of the “um“s, the “Oh […]
Monkey see. Monkey do.
Someone in our house watched Peter Jackson’s long, horrible, over-done version of King Kong. Someone in our house enjoyed it a little too much. Someone in our house pretended to be King Kong and tried to swing from the hook that holds his towel in the bathroom. Can you guess who that someone is?
Work it out with your Orthodontist.
“Oh oh! Mom!! My bite plate fell in the toilet! What do I do!?” I don’t even want to know how this happened. Thank goodness there is a sanitize cycle on the dishwasher. ew.
Why run if no one is chasing you?
I grounded Conner the other day. No phone, no light, no motor car – not a single luxury. I took away video games, TV and non-school related computer time. I don’t remember what he did, I just remember he had done it several times and I was fed up. He called yesterday after school. “Can […]
