Sarcasm, on a 4 year old?
I was sitting in a local ice cream shop, enjoying a treat and casually watching the two little girls at the table next to us enjoying their ice cream cones. About two-thirds of the way through her ice cream, the older of the two, who may have been four, got this panicked look on her […]
The birds and the bees revisited…
The comic from B.C. this morning made me laugh, and reminded me of this conversation with Noah that seems like it was forever ago; http://mikeward.com/the-birds-and-the-bees/ Enjoy both 🙂
All the news that’s fit to tweet, almost
I monitor my Twitter and Facebook streams in a program called TweetDeck and have one column dedicated to news with tweets from local, national and international news. A few of the tweets last week seemed just a bit off to me, so I thought I would share. Fight Childhood!? Weren’t you one once? A local […]
Happy Veterans Day!
To all who are serving, or have served, thanks. The BC Comic from today sums it up nicely.
I was detained at the border…
…on my way into America… twice! If you happened to read my DMV adventures and the issues I had considering my common name, you are going to love this one… The entire family went up to Niagara Falls this past weekend for an Irish Dance competition for my daughter, and we stayed on the Canadian side.

Kids Say v26.0
This was not from one of my kids, but it is definitely a keeper. I was in Kroger, getting the ingredients to make my FIL peanut butter pie for his birthday, when I noticed a young boy (maybe 2), sitting in the cart, with a parent on either side of him, pulling off his shirt. […]
Grandma’s Say
We have had a previous installment of Grandma’s say, but this was from the other Grandma. As we sat down to breakfast, she was telling of a ‘lovely performance she had attended put on by the Norman Tabernacle Choir. I am beginning to see where Hannah gets it.
Kids Say v25.0
On Friday I saw a friend who mentioned he was going overseas to teach English and bring them Jesus . The kids and I were chatting after the fact and Noah said “I thought that was ‘cool’ until I found out that it was about Jesus and then I thought it was ‘really cool. ‘” […]
