funny little things...

my poor poor neglected blog...thanks for always being there when I have something I want to share...(and for being there when I actually get around to sharing it!!)

I am amused by life, I am usually laughing in my head if not out loud. here are some things that have made me laugh and I just want to save them...


Shawn: (This morning on the way to seminary after realizing that I had arranged the carpool): "Mom, your like...your kinda like the um....the Chief..."

Shawn: (Telling me about theater arts class) "I was paired up with a girl the whole period so we would get to know each other...... Me: "What did you tell her about you?"..."Nothing, she didn't give me a chance to talk".....


Alex (who is in 7th grade): "Mom, don't get Shawn a phone, he is only in ninth grade" Me: "whenever shawn gets one is when you most likely will"...Alex:..."oh..well get him one in 7th grade then"


And something from my sweet, thoughtful, and perfect daughter!

Melissa: "Mom, can I have snack money?" Me: "Is there enough change in the drawer for all of you?" Melissa: No, I am getting it for my brothers...

David: "I wish my dad could be my hockey coach...he would be the best hockey coach...except he can't skate...not even at all.." (David immitates Dale skating by throwing his arms around, like a guy loosing his balance..)

Greg: (who is a goalie for ice hockey, overhearing Melissa and I talking about Craigslist): "There is a Greg's list?? whats on it? Goalie pads and helmets?" Me: "No buddy, we are talking about buying a Doll for Melissa on CRAIGSLIST" Greg: "Mom, What are YOU talking about, NOT MY list, CRAIG's LIST..., Craig is the goalie for the 1980 Olympic team?...why would he have doll's on his list!?"
