Scene: Sitting at the table a few weeks ago. Mitch begins coughing and choking. We Parents: “Mitch! Are you OK?!” Mitch: “Yes. I’m OK, I just swallowed wrong.” Grant (with a definite air of superiority): “pfft. Well, I swallow right.”
Surely, you can’t be serious. I am… And don’t call me Shirley.
Back to school week has been a busy one for everyone. Did anyone else run into ridiculousness while preparing for it? Let me share the good, the bad, and the cataclysmically stupid.. The Good: **I am uber-organized. School clothes and school supplies were purchased on sale and over the course of the summer. In fact, […]
Coming soon: The Good, The Bad, and The Stupid.
The boys are back in school. Grant is doing fine so far (Kindergarten is such a big deal) but I am shaking my head at my 7th and 11th graders. A post on that is coming soon. I’ll get that up as soon as I’m finished driving all over town to return PE shoes that […]
So this ghost goes to a waterpark….
Grant is my source for some good material. Sometimes I need my camera. Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I have him repeat what he said if I missed filming it the first time. Setting: Last night, finishing up dinner. Grant is talking about something we don’t understand. He says he wants to […]
Some pregnancy cravings prove to be rather funny.
Scene: the produce section in our grocery store. I am thrilled to see that “Red Lion” Nectarines are in season and on sale. Me: “Oh Grant! Yay! These are so yummy! When you were in my tummy, these nectarines were all that I wanted to eat.” Grant: “I was in your tummy…?” Me: (Oh crap! […]
Great. Now I need to brush up on my Pig-Latin.
Driving in the car last night, with Conner and Grant in the back seat…. Conner and I were having a discussion and I needed to say the word “sex” which I decided to spell, since I did not want Grant to hear the word. Big mistake. “What’s S – E – X?” Smooth move, Ex-Lax. […]
Entrepreneurial spirit.
Scene: Conner’s bedroom. Grant is holding a stack of Conner’s books and some old magazines. Grant: “Conner, do you want these books? Can I have some?” Conner: “I want these ones, but you can have the rest. What are you going to do with all of those.” Grant: “Why, sell them of course.” (The “duh” […]
What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Devin, my oldest son, is 16 years old. He’ll be 17 in August. He’s handsome, he’s smart, he’s funny, he’s sweet. But… He acts first and then asks questions later. He forgets his stuff all the time. He doesn’t use his head in social situations. He just plain ‘ole doesn’t use his head sometimes…. Yesterday […]
My son IS a Ding Dong.
This post contains Amazon or other affiliate links. We went to a lovely Father’s Day dinner at my sister’s house. My brother in law made a fabulous meal, and my sis picked up these decadent little cakes (think gourmet Hostess Ding Dongs… I know – sounds weird, but they were awesome.) Devin and Conner had […]
It’s got a good beat, but can ya dance to it?
Grant just came into the kitchen, proudly holding an invisible guitar. G: Do you like my invisible guitar? Me: Yes I do. G: Wanna hear it? Me: Of course I do. G: (various sounds, growls and humming, while pretending to rock out.) Didja like it? Me: Of course I do. What’s it called? G: I […]
