Kid Quotes 4

I wouldn't if I were you.





31. Overheard song in our house today:
"Popeye the red nosed..." (brief pause) "... what did he do?"
So sad.

32. The brothers objecting to Sarah wearing makeup. I ask what they're going to do when she dates. They tell me they will kill whoever tries. And it begins....poor girl has no idea what she's in for.

33. Brian: We're out of toilet paper.
Me: We are?
Brian: This is almost as bad as being out of milk.
Me: Almost? It's not worse?
Brian: Don't be ridiculous. It's not like the world's going to end.
I'm beginning to grasp the extent of horror certain people experience at the prospect of a household without milk.

34. I come home from the grocery store and the kids came out to get the groceries (or so I thought) but instead of hauling them in they just stood there looking through what I got. I finally said, "Stop sight seeing and take them in!" Then one of them says, "But they're so pretty."
At least I now know what these guys think is aesthetically pleasing.

35. Why must I be subjected to things like fake jelly fish (and eerily life like at that too) made from glue hanging from my lamp? Boys and boredom reap strange results.

36. Ham gravy, in this house, seems to inspire such extraordinary behavior. This year they wanted to pour it into their water goblets and have it in lieu of a beverage. I've found this fascination with the stuff baffling over the years but I was informed yesterday that ham gravy tastes like bacon. Bacon that you can pour all over your plate and dip stuff in. Mystery solved.

37. There's evidence of FHE all over the living room. Scriptures scattered around, hymnals everywhere, papers doodled on...a broken lamp... They learn something in all this right?

38. Upon decorating for Christmas and my sister complimenting an idea of mine I said: I may be a total idiot about most things but I do know how to decorate.
Sister: Your supposed to say positive things about yourself and not talk about yourself the way your kids see you.

39. Richard: "... gluten free is becoming a fad diet - a lot of people are choosing to eat that way even though they don't have to."
Benjamin: "IDIOTS!"
James: "That IS really bizarre!"
I guess having a choice in the matter makes a difference.

Editors note:James and Benjamin have Celiac's disease

40.  Sarah's been running around today shooting things with nerf guns and looking like a nerf version of rambo. She's such a funny combination of girly girl and tom boy.
