“Don’t take my crocodile off of the toilet.” – Grant “There’s an arrow in my butt.” – Grant “The helicopter can’t go up, but the hot dog can!” – Grant “The object of the game is to kill me” – Mitchell (immediately followed by…) “Well then quit yelling at me for killing you!” – Conner […]

Setting: The dinner table. We are having fish tacos. All the fixin’s are on the table. Off to the side, there is also a plate of chocolates that Rich brought home from work… We ask Grant to say grace:“God is great, God is gurd, lettus thankem for our food. Aayy-men…. Please pass the chocolates!”

I wanted you to use clean clothes!

The directions: Get dressed please. Two great ways to tell if your child fished yesterday’s clothes out of his laundry hamper: Pizza sauce and chocolate on the shoulder of the shirt, from where he wiped his mouth at dinner last night. Shorts are on inside out, and are so dirty you can see the dirt […]

So this bee and this dog form a support group…

You have just recently stopped crying after having been stung by a bee. You have had a baking soda bath and sat in the tub with a baking soda paste smeared onto the sting. Your mom has soothed you and explained to you why you should leave bees alone. You are once again dressed and […]
