You know you live with boys when....

....you say things** like:

"Stop licking the end table."

"Stop punching the T.V."

"Give me kiss!!"

Followed closely with,

"I said, give me a kiss, not lick me."

"No, you may not play inside the washing machine."

"Or the dryer."

"Because we eat food off of plates, not off of the floor."

"Stop licking the T.V.!"

"You know you are not supposed to drink the bathwater!"

"Where are your clothes?"

Followed closely by:

"Why are you naked?"

"Guys....please! Get out of the washing machine!!"

"Stop flushing the potty when there is nothing in it!"

"Please get your feet off the dining room table."

"Please stop sitting on the dining room table."

"Please stop standing on the dining room table!"

"Why are you licking me?"

"Guys, don't sit on each others' heads."

"Stop licking the tub."

"Please stop jumping on top of your brother on purpose!"

"Get OFF of him!"

"Nooooooooooooooo! We never, ever, ever, ever, ever lick the potty!" (Thankfully, this was only the top of the closed lid, which I had just cleaned...but still. *shudder*)

"Makeup is only for girls.....so are hair clips, purses, and shoes with high heels."

"Stop that, you're going to squash him."

"What is it with you guys and licking things? Sheesh!!"


**And, yes. I have said every single one of these things--out loud--to one or more of my boys in the last couple of weeks. *sigh*

Why God made Moms**

This was on the back of our church bulletin this past Sunday....and I just thought it was hilarious. Enjoy!!

**answers submitted by 2nd grade children

Why did God make Mothers?

• She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
• Mostly, to clean the house.
• To help us get out of there when we were getting born. (HA!)

How did God make Mothers?

• He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
• Magic, plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
• God made her just like me, except He used bigger parts.

What ingredients are Mothers made of?

• God makes Mothers out of clouds, and angel hair, and everything nice in the world...and one dab of mean.
• They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they use string.
  

Why did God give you your Mother and not some other Mom?

• We're related.
• God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your Mom?

• My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
• I don't know, I wasn't there....but my guess would be pretty bossy.
• They say she used to be nice.

What did Mom need to know about Dad before she married him?

• His last name.
• She had to know his background. Like, is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
• Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your Mom marry your Dad?

• My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. My mom eats a lot.
• She got too old to do anything else with him.
• My Grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

What would it take to make your Mom perfect?

• On the inside, she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
• Diet. You know. Her hair.....I'd diet. Maybe blue.

One of the funniest things I saw at Hearts at Home....

HA!
