What Prank Did You Pull?

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Here it is, April Fool’s day, and I thought it would be fun to share your past pranks. It slipped up on me this year and I really didn’t have time to think up any good ones. Besides, I’m just not a good liar. People usually see right through me. Hehe.

In the past there’s been some good ones. When I was a kid, I helped my aunt turn all my dad’s pants inside out. That was loads of fun at 5 years old! I’ve also put tape around the water sprayer on the kitchen sink, then asked for a glass of water (that way when they turned it on, it sprayed them). Then of course there’s the classic ones of “I’m pregnant” that no one seems to find funny. Ha!

What have you pulled in the past? How did they react?

The Things Kids Say

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

No matter how crazy they make us sometimes, kids say some pretty darn cute things. Mispronounced words, taking a figure of speech as literal, or just really cute remarks can make our day.

Here’s a two things my 5yr old has said recently that made me giggle (at least when they weren’t looking anyway!)

“My friend is toast intolerant, she can’t have real ice cream”

“Mom! He called me a sofa pig!”
(A what? Oh selfish pig…..still trying to figure out where her brother learned that one)

When told that my hands were tied, her response….
“REALLY? Let me see!”

What have your kids said recently that made you laugh? I’d love to hear some more!
