It's summertime and we've just been doing summery things. Mostly watching it rain (this year, anyway). So I haven't posted any stories lately since all the summer posts from last year are still applicable. But there have been a few funny comments I wanted to get into writing. In no particular order:
- A: "I was doing Yoda with mommy this morning." W: "Yoda's a person, not a thing." A: "Mommy, what was I doing with you? Yogurt?" Mom: "Yoga" A:"Ooooh, right, yoga, not Yoda!"
- W got a letter in the mail from his third grade teacher. It said that "the first day of school is right around the corner." So W refused to go around any corners for two days because he was hoping to avoid the first day of school.
- A: "I know why so many girls like me." Mom and Dad: "Really? Tell us, why do so many girls like you?" A: "Because I do my hair so handsome. Except some days I do it rock star style instead. All spiky."
- I have to add this story: A Bee Story Part 2 - Eric found a hornet's nest buried underground at the bottom of the stairs for the playground slide. He got away with only 1 sting; I got 3. He attacked the nest a few hours later dressed in: a wetsuit topped with rain pants, rain coat, knee high rubber boots, gloves and M's dress up veil over his face. Also armed with 2 cans of Raid and a bug bomb. He dug out the nest and killed the remainder of the hornets. Or so we thought. A few days later A comes screaming into the house with a hornet attached to his ear. The poor kid's ear swelled up twice its normal size. I asked him how it happened and it turns out that W and A were playing at the playground and saw it buzzing around. W gave A this classic advice, "Hold still and it won't see you and you won't get stung." Uh, we had to correct him that actually holding still is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you want to do when you see something with a stinger flying at you. Run, run away fast!
