Funny Kids
Isn't it great that we have kids to make us laugh? Here are a few quips from this past week:
Aubree (10) was tending the two little boys for about 45 minutes until I could get Tyler (12) home from piano institute. The boys had just gotten dropped off from swimming lessons and were supposed to change their clothes. Aubree had been grounded from watching T.V. She called me and said, "Mom, I don't know what to do with these boys! They are driving me crazy." I asked her what they were doing. "They are running around naked and chasing me with knives and stuff. If I could only turn on the T.V., I think it would help calm them down." Although I could read the lack of fear in her voice, I called my next-door neighbor, Donni, and asked her to run over and see if Aubree needed some help. She called me and said the kids were riding bikes, everyone was fully dressed, and seemed happy. Hmmm... They probably were naked at some point -- when they were changing. The knife was out to cut the tops off the otter pops, but I think that was a hopeless attempt to get to watch T.V.
The other day Marcus (6) came upstairs with his shirt off.
Matt: "Hey buddy, run downstairs and get your shirt on."
Marc: "I'm not wearing my shirt."
Matt: "Today?"
Marc: "EVER! I'm not going to wear a shirt anymore."
Luckily he changed his mind so he could wear a nice shirt and tie to church yesterday. Unfortunately he has been wearing long sleeves and long pants on hot days. When we tell him to change to shorts and short-sleeves, he says he can't "because Indiana Jones doesn't wear that."
At piano institute, Tyler had lunch with his grandma after a master class. Grandma Julie was telling him how it great it is that he is learning to have good hand position, move his fingers when he plays, and "follow-through" with the keys when he plays. She said it is kind of like following through when you're swinging a golf club or like following through when you swing a baseball bat to hit the ball. Tyler replied, "What if you're bunting?"
