And now for my favorite part of blogging...recording the funny family moments that make us laugh out loud now AND in years to come. :)
- Riley (after seeing leftover Halloween decorations in someone's yard of a giant skeleton): "That looks like Haggard's great, great Granny with an emphasis on great. I have no idea what that means, but I heard it once in a book."
- Chris (talking to another teacher about about a student in the room that he thought would laugh at this joke): "Oh you say this kid does nothing but watch Tik Tok all day?? Oh, I LOVE Tik Toks! They keep my breath fresh!"
- Maggie (discussing how she and Riley will be taking statewide testing in the Spring and how Riley has already taken it for two years and successfully passed them): "Oh yeah. Riley knows how to pass alright. He passes gas ALL the time!"
- Maggie (wondering deep thoughts one night at dinner): "If shorts are called shorts, why are pants not called longs??"
- Riley (praying one night): "Thank you so much for all the amazing things you've done for our family and protecting us from Coronavirus. And please help those that weren't so lucky and them them recover." *This one is just a sweet memory, not a funny one.*
- Chris to Maggie who is stalling and hiding under the covers in our bedroom instead of getting ready for bed one night: "Aren't you worried about getting trapped under there by your your own toots?" Maggie: "No, mine don't harm me at all!" (Pause.) "Unless, it's a chicken enchilada toot!"
- Maggie (after sleeping in late and getting off-schedule for her typical lunch and snack time): "I think I'm just going to have 'snunch'. It's like snack and lunch all in one!"
- Riley (talking about what he ate for lunch that day in the cafeteria): "Well, I had some sort of Mystery Meat. It tasted like fish and steak combined, but it looked like chicken or pork. It needed a bit of ketchup, but it was the best meat I've ever had at school."
- Maggie (ever our little linguist, musing over words one evening): "If 'elf" changes to 'elves', shouldn't 'earmuff' change to 'earmuves'? And if you have to capitalize 'I' because you are talking about a specific person, why don't we capitalize you, or he, or she?
- Mom to Maggie (after telling us about her friend's crush on a boy): "So do you think any boy is cute in your class?" Maggie: "No, Mom. I think puppies are cute, not boys!!"
- Riley (after listening to a popular Christmas carol): "So what exactly does 'new old fashioned-way' mean? I don't understand that one bit."
- Riley (after being greeted very excitedly by Roxie one morning): "It seems like Roxie has millions of kisses insider her!"
- Maggie (quoting a joke from her new favorite show...The Dick Van Dyke Show): "Hey Mom! What would happen if everybody in the world had a horse??" Me: "I don't know. What?" Maggie: "The world would be more stable-ized!"
- Maggie (recovering from a stuffy nose): "I hate colds! I have to breathe with my mouth open like a moron!"
- Riley (after listening to me give a mini-lecture about how people have a tendency to be more left or right-brained): "I'm middle-brained because I'm calculative AND creative!!"
- Riley (on December 26th): "Well that was the MOST successful Christmas EVER! I got just about everything on my list this year."
- Maggie (after being scared one night that she saw a spider in her room and I was up later than Chris): "Can I go sleep in your bedroom with Dad?" Me: "I guess." Hours later, I was too tired to move her back into her bed, so I decided to just sleep in her room. Around 5 am, she came barreling into the room, "Mom...you HAVE to go sleep with Dad! His snoring is driving me insane!"
- Riley (after hearing the story of how Chris and I kissed on my birthday night at midnight, he leaned over and patted Chris on the head and said): "You rascal, dad!!"
