Monday morning Silas woke up and asked where his daddy was. I was feeling ornery and we had this conversation:
M: I got rid of him
S: are you kidding? he’ll be back
M: no, I took him far away where he can’t find his way back
S: you mean Egypt?! …. you took him to the desert?
M: he went to work J
Macie and I were preparing the kitchen for our dinner guest. I told Macie that our dinner guest does not have a wife or children. She said “He has no WIFE? no CHILDREN? no BABY? …. Is he a poor man?”
I answered her, “Well, no, he has Jesus and so he’s rich. A man with no family is called a single man. Daddy used to be single until he found me.”
Macie answered back, “And then you married yourselves and found some children?”
While we were on vacation Silas told Russell (as they were walking on the boardwalk), “Daddy, I LOVE Mama.”
Russell said “Oh, really. What made you say that Si?”
Silas: ” I have something private to tell you Daddy”
Russell (all ears): “What’s that son?”
Silas “I’m done with your business!”
Russell chased him and Silas ran away laughing….
crawled today!
tonight at the nature trail…
Macie: Do bats eat three-year-olds? I am a three-year-old and I’m scared the bats are going to eat me.
Silas heard a strange siren and asked me what it was. I told him it was a police siren. He looked at me and said “or an owl”.
We began kindergarten at home and here’s a few funnies from Silas:
me: where’s the other continent?
Silas: Maybe we lost it.
Silas: When God made our insides, did He think they were yukky?
The other morning I woke up to find Macie in our bed. She said “Mommy, I was snardin’.” “What’s that?”
“When you were sleeping, I sneaked in here…I was snardin’”
This morning the kids were talking about dinosaurs. Silas informed us that dinosaurs lived long before we did, but they’re all gone now. He also told us that dinosaurs had very bad eye sight. Macie said “Yeah, they can’t see and they are ugly.”
Recently my mom made Si a sandwich and he specified he did not want peanut butter. She said “Oh, are you done with that peanut butter business?” He said “Yeah, I”m done with that cheese business too!”
Russell took the kids out to get ice cream. The next day Si told me that when they went out, they were listening to “Jasmine” in the car. “Mom, no words just music…Jasmine”
I said “you mean jazz?” He said, “no, jasmine!”
