February Facebook Funnies

Every so often I write funny things that the kids say or do on Facebook. Since many of my blog readers aren't on FB, I thought I'd share some of them here. :)

Bean has gone from being a grouch because he was sick to being a grouch because he doesn't want to sit on da potty. Life is tough when you're three.

Tonight, Bean accidentally broke something, and while Matt and I were kind of growling and fussing about it, I overheard this from the girls' room:

Abi: "Natta, if Bean breaks the house, then we won't be a family any more?"

Natta: "It's ok, Abi. We'll still be a family."

*sniff*

Abi: "Mommy, you rub my back?"
Me: "Yep."
Abi: "Mommy, what it means, you rub my back?"
Me: "It's another way to say 'I love you.'"
Abi: "You love me, you rub my back?"
Me: "Yep."
Abi: "Mmmm."

Bean, to me after dinner: "Mommy, don't need letter cards. Did em this morning."

Bean, to Daddy, upon being told it's time to get into bed RIGHT NOW: "Daddy, need do letter cards!"

Nice try, buddy.


****

Bean: "Daddy, my name isn't Cody, it's Seth. And I do school on the computer, and I go to karate and sleep on the top bunk."

Hero worship much?

Curly brought home a pink slip from school for (I am not making this up) "whipping her hair and being silly." Being the good, supportive parent that I am, I burst out laughing when she showed me. Apparently several other second grade girls got pink slips for "hair whipping" too. After a good laugh, Curly, Daddy and I concluded that hair whipping is best practiced at home anyway.

Pretty sure Abi lost some more vision this morning. After she plowed into the bathroom door, I was holding her and comforting her.

Me: "Are your eyes not working more this morning?"
Abi: "Mommy, I don't want my eyes to stop working."
Me (inside): :`(
Me (to her): I know. I feel sad too. But that's why you're learning to read with your fingers and use your dula (cane) to find the stairs and remember where you put things.
Abi: My dula is really good at finding steps!
Me: Yep! So you don't have to be scared walking around, do you?
Abi: Nope!
Me (inside): I know exactly how you feel, little girl, but life is still beautiful. :)

Overheard at lunch.
Abi: "Well, I'm a chocolate bon-bon."
Bean: "Well, I'm chocolate coffee."

I think my kids like their beautiful skin colors. :)


****

Bean: "Mommy, I like cashews for my snack."
Abi: "Cody's eating cat food?"


****

Curly, tasked with making dinner for herself and Mister: "I'm only making regular pancakes, not melt-in-your-mouth pancakes."


****

For a blind kid, Abi makes some astute observations. Today at lunch, we were (yet again) discussion our different beautiful skin colors, and she goes: "But Mommy, everybody's teeth are the same color!"
