Kid Logic Friday

 Someone was playing with their food -  here's Broccoli Lion

Mom asked Older Child to pick up 2 gallons of milk at the store for her.  Older Child goes to store.  Then Older Child calls mom to say, "They don't have 2 gallons of milk, they only have one."


"What do you mean they only have one?  There's only one container of milk on the entire shelf?"


"No, there's lots, but they are only 1 gallon..."


Mom starts laughing, figures Older Child has been out of school too long, and gives Older Child a quick review in math.


 "Buy two of the one gallon containers then you will have 2 gallons of milk!"

Typical

Typical Friday night these days:






"What should we watch?" 




"Let's watch __________!"

"Naw, we've seen that too many times." 




"We could watch _____________."

"That one's for girls!"  (yes, the girls are very much out numbered in our family)





"How about ______________?!"

"No, that one isn't for everybody."




Ok, what about __________?"


"Nawww,"           "Not that one,"               "No way!"




Everyone sits for a few minutes saying nothing...........


Let's just forget it!  




We could all play a game of King Elephant

Pin It


Sometimes my kids do or say something to just make my day a little extra special  .............




........and sometimes it's fun to return the blessing.

Terminology

picture taken by David

The terminology my kids use today is so much different than things I would have said at that age. Take Sam's comment for instance: when he noticed the birds were unusually quiet, he declared,  "The birds need recharged!"


David's pets really like him.  


Molly seems to have the touch with the birds too.
(you can see by the hair and pajama's this was taken in the morning with before Molly was ready for the day)

You mean you used to know how to..............................



Today a child discovers mother used to do something other than laundry.  Mom used to play piano and actually knows a little about inversions!

Business is Booming!

I have nothing to complain about and everything to be thankful for:  




Ran the dishwasher 3 times so far


Washed and dried 9 loads of laundry (and still have more)


Folded 50+ pairs of socks


Prepared meals and snacks for 8 hungry people (and still preparing)






~ and this is a condensed list of the adventures
