Me: “I have asked you to empty the drying rack three times.” 

Child: “You told me I didn’t do it, but I didn’t know that meant I needed to do it.”

The following are Friday Funnies that Abigail has been recording for a few weeks:

 

Sidge: "Foots don’t belong in peoples faces."

+++++

Abigail said, “Hey, Siri.” Siri responded, “Hey, what’s up? Just responding to three million people saying 'hey Siri’ at the same time.”

 

+++++

At Pelican Snowballs we were talking about the band King and Country. Cousin Char didn’t think they were brothers. She said, "But they don’t look anything alike." Abigail replied: "Well, their parents don’t look anything alike either."

 

+++++

Abigail didn’t know George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush were related 🤦🏼‍♀️

 

+++++

Hannah was watching a commercial with old people in bathing suits jumping into the water. "Is it just me or do old people have really long butts?"

+++++

Hannah twerking says, "My butt is uncontrollably dancing."  

+++++

Joni was brushing off her drawing paper using mechanical pencil, and Hannah said, "I think I just flicked graphite at you."

 

+++++

While watching the Olympics, an ad came up for Olympics with break dancing. John said, "I can’t believe Olympics is a break dancing sport."

+++++

Our friend Hosea suddenly said: "If a nuclear bomb went off I would die."

+++++

Aug-5-24

 

Cousin Eoin stabs Hosea. Sidge tells them, "If you're gonna be wrestling, go outside."

Hosea: "We weren't wrestling."

Cousin Genevieve: "He just took a light saber and stabbed him."

Abigail pretends to be Eoin and says, "I’m not wrestling, I’m murdering.”

+++++

 

While watching the movie Dan in Real Life, Isaac asks if the lead character has a wife. "I'm guessing he's divorced?"

Abigail: "Or dead." (Talking about the wife.)

+++++

JB: "I love avocado guacamole."

Hannah had to do her Xtra Math website that she does each day. She said to me: "What a horrible name for a website? Don't they know kids won't want to do anything called Xtra connected to Math?"

Aquariums make such an awful noise. It sounds like all the fish are peeing.

And a flashback Friday Funny for Old Time's Sake:

Friday Funnies

Abigail: Is that beer?

Me: yes

Abigail: a certain kind?

Me: yes

Abigail: what kind?

Me: an IPA

Abigail: are there different types of IPA’s?

Me: yes, lots

Abigail: so… they are kind of like subspecies of beer

Me: … well, yes.

I stumbled upon this old video of my kids -- from April 2015. (Time, please SLOW DOWN!) I am not sure what makes me laugh harder: Sidge doing ballet, Hannah yelling: "SEE!" over and over and over again, or little Abigail coming in with a "PHOTO BOMB!" What a crazy life I get the privilege of having.

Four kids?!

Homeschooling is so hard.

I realize that on Saturdays and Sundays -- when we take time off from school. 

Man, it's easier to just be a parent. Adding that whole "you need to learn thing" makes it super hard.

My day does not start. Erin said I look like Gumby most days -- being pulled in so many directions.

So many children.

So many directions.

My cousin, Hannah, has five children to my four. And then, she added a baby. 

It brings me one of my all-time favorite videos on the Internet. I have probably watched it twenty-five times. It makes me laugh so hard. And it's pretty clean.

I jokingly told Sidge I may have him repeat sixth grade and do all the same work over again. “Well,” he said. “That’s ok. I’d excel.” 

We were talking to Sidge about piano. It doesn’t come easily to him, but he said he wanted to keep taking lessons. “I like being able to play a song,” he said. “I mean, I won’t be Mozart. But that’s ok.”

Hannah was lingering over the brownies trying to get another. “Hannah,” I said. “You just don’t give up.” 

“True,” she replied.

Our farm has turned a page in our play book. Finally bit the bullet and bought some heavy equipment.

12-year-old Sidge was immediately interested in learning how to use it.

“I got it down, Mom. Dad said I’m on my way to being able to use it. I’m working on figuring out how to lift my sisters up in the front bucket.”

John smiled and informed him he just backed himself us three years on permission to use it.

Me: “I need you to get totally ready for ballet.”

Anonymous Child: “Do I have to get dressed?”

The type of texts that go back and forth on the phone of permaculture guys:

Funnnnnnn Faces

We got a new iPAD. The kids have discovered "Photo Booth." I have never used it. No desire too. But they have a really good time with it and spend some quality time together making each other laugh. I found these pictures on my phone so I'm sharing them here for posterity sake.
