Today was my nephew's last day of preschool. In two weeks, he officially starts Kindergarten. Of course, we have made a big deal of this!
Tonight I was making fried zucchini for dinner. Sometimes I just can't help myself, and I laughingly will torture one of the children.
"Aunt Hope, is that for dinner?"
"No."
"What's it for?"
"It's to eat."
"Are we eating it tomorrow?"
"I am, you're not."
"I'm not eating it?"
"Nope."
A lengthy pause while he digests this information, then he replies.
"Ohhhh, I know why! It's because I'm starting kindergarten!"
Yes, I let him eat it for dinner. 🙂
Later, we were having a little chat while I tucked him into bed. He got a new hair cut today.
"I like your hair. You look cool."
"I should get a mohawk."
"No, it's cool the way it is."
"I should get a buzz cut."
"Nope. Maybe you should get a motorcycle, with a leather vest to go with it."
"Yeah, and one of those things to go on your head."
"A bandana?"
"Yeah, a bandana."
"OK."
"Aunt Hope, and a motorcycle with those antenna things that stick out of your head…like a cockroach."
"You want a motorcycle that looks like a cockroach? That's gross!"
"No, that's cool."
Ok, then…whatever floats your boat!
Comical Comments of the week:
While ordering ice cream at the pool, I said, "Yes, can I please have a fudgesuckle?"
My teen nephew found that hilarious and wouldn't let me live it down for the rest of the afternoon.

While making an eye appointment for the Talented One, the scheduler asked me for his date of birth. I stumbled through it, then started again, then stumbled again; I'd given her the month of one boy, the correct day, and the year of his sister's birth. Wow! I apologized, yet again, and explained that I was having difficulties because I had five children. Her reply?
"Well, I'd have problems if I had five children, too!" I wasn't sure whether that was an insult or not! ha ha

While talking to my sister-in-law this evening, I was explaining the results of my nephew's speech evaluation. I was sharing how the therapist wants to see him back in a year, because, although he has problems, she thinks he needs help learning how to "spleak clearly."
She thought it was hilarious and explained if that was the way we were teaching him, he does need help. Very funny, ha ha ha.

Can whoever stole my brain please bring it back?
