January 2024 Family Funnies
During Bible time one morning:
“It’s Friday…whose day is that?”
Lucas: “Where are the chicken nuggets?”
“Um, what & why?”
“Well, if you have fries, shouldn’t you have nuggets with them?” ๐
๐
Child whose day it is…several minutes later….”OOOH! It’s Friday! It’s my day.” LOL (they completely missed the whole previous conversation)
Ellie: “Mama, you’re the best cooker ever! I’ve made up my mind & I’m NEVER leaving you! You make the best food ever!” ๐ฅฐ๐คฉ
Me: “Aww, you’re so sweet, my Ellie Bear! Thank you! And thank you for being my big helper!”
A few minutes later….
Ellie: “Except…if you teach me how to cook…and then I can cook the most delicious food for you!”
A few minutes later…
Ellie, as she’s stirring veggies to go with Italian sausages for dinner: “I think they’ll say we’re the best cooks ever!” โค๏ธ ๐คฉ๐ฅฐ๐
We were watching “Facing the Giants” & they were talking about how far they threw the football.
Ellie says, “I could throw that farther than them!”
Grant & I: “UM….How far do you think you can throw?”
Ellie: “100 meters!”
“I don’t quite think you know what 100 meters is like!”

Ellie tried to take a bite of some leftover sourdough garlic bread.
Ellie: “WHAT? Are you trying to break my teeth?” ๐ (she didn’t expect it to be so hard)
Ellie was cuddling with me as I’m trying to finish my dinner…
Me: “Do you want a bite of my dinner? It’s spicy!”
Ellie: “I don’t like spicy!”
Me: “You used to sit with me every meal & share my food & you loved the spicy!!”
Ellie: ๐ณ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คช๐คฏ
Ellenor has always loved eating dates. Over the holidays, we made some prosciutto wrapped, goat cheese stuffed dates.
Ellie, taking her 2nd plate to her table, “My tummy liked these! I have a ‘tummy-liked food!'” (Which, for the record, she has always been a fantastic eater….she didn’t eat anything solid until she was 1, then pretty much whatever I offered her…small bits of what we were eating…she devoured.)
Me, listing off items we were eating for dinner: “We have some yummy romanesco….”
Logan: “Some Roman fiasco?”๐
