So - to lighten the mood, here are some funny things that we have heard lately

Finley was having a conversation with Cainan in the car one day this week
Finley - Cainan, the sun does not like noses - only brains.
Cainan - the sun likes noses too
Finley - no it doesn't Cainan. The sun ONLY likes BRAINS
Cainan - not noses?
Finley - no. But the clouds.....clouds like noses. But the sun....the sun only likes brains
Cainan - okay.
Uh, what the heck? And this came out of the blue. That girl is a strange one.
------------------------------------

Me - well, that is what he was able to do.......tell the meaning of dreams. (now opening a can of worms) You know, Arlington, sometimes you can look up what dreams mean on the internet
Arlington - so we can google it
Me - how do you know that term?
Arlington - you and dad say it. Can we look it up?
Me - sure - what do you want to look up
Arlington - well, last night I had a dream about a rocket ship that wouldn't take off. It just sat there laughing at me. Can we look that up? What would that have meant?
Me - uh......sure.
----------------------------------------

Me - (slightly annoyed because I am trying to get everyone ready for school) What is it Finley
Finley - mom.....my arm is missing.
I look over and she has tucked her arm in her shirt.
-----------------------------------------

Me - Finley? Did you push your brother?
Finley - it wasn't me
Me - Finley? Did you write on the wall/
Finley- it wasn't me
Me - Finley? Did you draw on your body?
Finley - it wasn't me
Me - Finley? Did you take all the toys and put them under your pillow?
Finley - it wasn't me
------------------------------------

Most of the kids who crack me up start with........................Mrs. Pletcher? About a week ago.....
Stop right there, I tell them. If it didn't happen today, or at the VERY latest - yesterday, I don't want to here about it.

---------------------------------

Okay.....which is it?
----------------------------------------

Kid - I don't fell well.
Me - I am sorry to hear that. what doesn't feel well?
Kid - everything. I think I have the plague.
---------------------------------

Are you kidding?
---------------------------------------------

Me- what? Why?
Kid - it looks so cool like that - I want to leave it.
Me - uh.....no.
-----------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------

"thank you for the lice cream" (I have no idea what this might be - I don't do anything with lice except send them home)
"thank you for helping my nose bleed after I picked my nose"
"thank you for the ice pack after my brother punched me at the bus stop"
"thank you for saving me from that tick"
"thank you for the magic chapstick"
-------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------

I also have the 4th grade girl drama queens. I try to hide first thing in the morning. Otherwise they come to my office, sink down on the bed and tell me a sad tale. Like:
"I just came off the bus and I can't breathe". Me - where your running? Girl - no, but it is a long walk. (no it isn't. It is about 10 feet)
"I am starving" Me - did you eat breakfast? Girl - no. I had to do my hair.

See you next week. I am only making one new thing next week because we are having company and we will be going out! :)

OK -
So, tonight, Ethan picked his nose, looked at it, ate it. Lovely. I said "Ew. Ethan yuck." So, for the next 20 minutes, he picked his nose and yelled "EWWWWW."
And, I wouldn't trade my high schoolers for your little ones for a million bucks! They may not need hugs (though they sometimes do) but I get to see them through a very cool part of their lives.
They also say some really funny, though sometimes inappropriate, things, too. For instance, one of my kids was giving a speech - he had to bring in things that represent different aspects of his personality and life. He pulls out a picture of Jesus. This was his explanation: "This is a picture of...I think it's Jesus or maybe God or something. I'm not really religious, but I believe in both of them."
Karenna says, "Daddy, before you mated with Mommy, did you have to rut with other males?"
I think we've been watching too many nature specials....
