Grieving June Cleaver

My 3yo told me last night "Your are my favorite favorite mother. I'm glad God gave me you ... and Jiffy" (the dog)


The other day I told my 6yo Jackie to go turn off the oven, only being mildly distracted (yeah that's my excuse) what I actually said was, "turn the heater off the onion." Her puzzled look alerted me to the need to review what I had just said and I fixed it while being soundly laughed at (deservedly!!!)

Today Jackie came and asked if she needed to turn the heater off the onion.

Then she wandered off laughing hystericly.




From an email forwarded by my mom from my aunt (don't know where she found it.)
"Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.


I asked for a half dozen nuggets.

'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.

'You don't?' I replied.

'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.

'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'

'That's right.'

So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets

(Unbelievable but sadly true...)"

Ok, my 9 YEAR OLD knew what a half dozen was! And people wonder why I homeschool.....

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
