a story

I have been reading other people’s blogs for so long now, I guess I don’t even notice when people mis-spell things anymore!  I will read it in my head as they meant it to be, then I will see where they comment later and correct their misspelled words, and I am like, Oh, didn’t notice that!

Is this font hard to read?  It looks pretty.  I wish my handwriting looked like this.  Maybe not, mine is fine too.

So, I was driving in my car and the boy (8) and the girl (4) were in the back seat, and the girl is talking about her upcoming birthday, saying how she wants this and this and that for her birthday!  So I say,” Do you want to go find Birthday Claus and sit on his lap?”  And she says yeah, and I will tell him what I want.

There is a moment of silence.

The boy pipes in, “Who the HECK is BIRTHDAY CLAUS???”

That made me laugh so hard!  He wasn’t paying much attention to our conversation until then.  Like he was thinking he missed out on something.  Then he kept going, “IS there a Birthday Claus?  Mom?”  I was sooo laughing at this.  I could barely tell him that I was joking.

:0) I often lie to my kids just to amuse myself. I wish I could say I was kidding. . .

See that just means he's a boy/guy. 'Cause we all know they only hear what they want to hear.

Birthday Claus! That's the greatest! My birthday is in less than a month, and I am TOTALLY going to sit on Birthday Claus's lap!

I love it!!! When I was around 19 I gave a very small surprise party to my parents for their anniversary. (I think it was their 25th) We all were bowling on the same league and a lot of their friends bowled with them so I brought a huge poster that everyone signed and I think I gave them a small card just from me and signed it from the Anniversary Stork (kinda like the stork that brings babies) I was trying to think up something witty and just couldn't. Well, after that my mom signed everything to me for my birthday and stuff from "The Stork". She thought it was cute even though I was 19 (I kinda liked it too). It was just something special between us.
