Things That Make Me Smile 9/21/18

Jake (12 1/2), Alyssa (10), Zac (8 1/2), Tyler (6), Nicholas (3 1/2)

I don't know about you, but I could use a Smile today. Here are a few of mine from September.

1. Tyler, confused, reading labeled pictures: "There's no F in the phone."

Me: :No, isn't that silly? PH makes the F sound, too."

Tyler: "Whaaaat! That's not right."

2. Leighton, about an elderly man: "What do you think his name is?"

Nicholas: "Mr. Grandpa, maybe."

3. Nicholas: "We really have a big house."

4. Zac wanted to make special bread creations for each person in the family on his turn for Kids Cook Monday. He made the dough, and then he and Alyssa formed the designs.

5. Me, about an old picture of Leighton and me: "Who is that?"

Nicholas: "Not Daddy."

Me: "No? Then who is it?"

Nicholas: "No one. No one at all. Just Mama."

6. Nicholas: "Can I have a jelly sandwich?"

Me: "Yes. No peanut butter?"

Nicholas: "No peanut butter. And no bread."

Me: "No bread? So you want just jelly?"

Nicholas: {nods}

7. Me: "Ugh! I stepped in the ground beef container and it splashed raw beef juice on my foot!"

Jake: "Now you can't lick your foot."

Me: {blank stare}

8. Zac: "You should take a picture and put it on RaisingLeafs.com."

Tyler: "Crazy what .com?"

Me: "That's actually pretty accurate."

9. Jake made a new friend.

10. Nicholas: "Mama, are we gonna go to jail?"

Me: "Go to jail? No."

Nicholas: "But the police officers are going to come because we're wasting all the candy."

11. Nicholas: "Under your legs they are squishy."

Me: "They are? Thanks."

Nicholas: {smacks my thighs} "Yeah, these smacking things are wiggly."
