August/September 2021 Family Funnies

X: Can we bring the dog in for Bible time?

Papa: The dog is running around through a cloud, trying to bite it.

(It was super foggy that morning)

I was reading aloud a funny story about women in public restrooms & one of the kids says, “I hate those ‘animated’ sensors” (automated). 😅

I got Ellie a bowl of dry cereal with a spoon one morning. She comes over to me a few minutes later. I don’t need this spoon. It says, “Pick it up with your hands” on the box! 😅

(I told her that it didn’t actually say that & she seemed genuinely surprised. She then asked, “does it say eat with a spoon” on the box?” I explained the box doesn’t say one way or another, but that it’s polite to eat with a spoon instead of our hands.) Life with a 3 year old is never dull 🤩🥰❤

We were on our way home from shopping and it was warm in the car. Lucas was sitting all the way in the back and I asked him after about 5 or 10 minutes if he was cooling down yet. He said, “My feet are freezing, but the rest of me is still hot.” He then realized that the vents on top were closed, so he opened them and said, “I wonder who did that? Whoever it was was burning my head off!”

I took the 5 “youngest” girls to see the play Little Women & on the way home, Ellie says, “I hope I stayed home today!” (We went back & forth about whether to bring her. She enjoyed it for the first hour, but the last hour was rough.)

Early one morning Xanna knocked on the boys’ door & Lucas opened it.

“Get a cat!” He exclaimed.

“Why?” Lexa asked, confused.

“Because you have a rat’s nest in your hair!” Lucas responded with a grin. 😅
