I live a life of, "What did you just say?" and that says a boatload because I am full of my own shocking outbursts. These kids sometimes...good grief.
10. Zane bought a new puppy with his own money a few months ago. He named it Bandit. Last week he and Ramzee were in the car talking and Zane says, "I should have named him Elvis because Elvis was black." Well that's inaccurate.
9. Westin and I were discussing who is in mine and Ole Jus's Sunday School class. I told him the age range is about 28 to 40. I'm on the low end and Jus is on the high end. I said, "we are the young adult group". He says, "No, that's middle aged."
8. Ramz has gotten into a bad habit of locking her bedroom door...like she lives in an apartment building or something. I was a little fed up with it the other day when I went to enter her room and I pancaked my face on the door...I had some momentum built up. I said, "I am gonna spank you!" She says, "You can't. You're locked out."
7. Cass is our youth minister at church which makes me nothing. It makes me title-less. If there were a title for me and my duties it may be #1 volunteer or assistant with no pay or title...that's where I serve. At youth we have spent the last month writing a song, practicing it, working out the kinks and finally performing it in church this past Sunday. We got some really awesome shirts made for the performance with the songs title across the front, "INSPIRE". On the way home from church (as he is wearing it) Westin says, "Hey! Do our shirts say "Inspire" because of that song?" Oh my. Yes, dear.
6. I was telling Ramzee how Cassie and I were dressing up for Halloween this year as Thelma and Louise (she didn't get it by the way). She asked a few questions and I confessed, "It really only T-shirt's we are gonna wear with our jeans". Her feelings on the matter?..."That's so lame." Well thank you for your unsolicited counsel...seven year old!
5. I just did a highly intelligent social media quiz titled, What Kind of Butt Do You Have? I also enlisted a spouse of mine, Cass the BFF and possibly her hubs. Turns out we all 4 tested positive for the "Badonkadonk". I'll save time here and leave out the description and let your imagination take you where it may. My heart sank because this delightful little quiz obviously has some kinks...our butts are all so different...although theirs were inaccurate, mine I'm afraid was correct. Ramzee saw this on my phone and says, "They should do a boob quiz." My friends, I will not partake in such.
4. I can't remember what it is that we were talking about, but Ramzee and I were on the way home in the car when I asked her a question. It's her answer that was so memorable. She says, "Perhaps." She even used it correctly. I told her to make sure and say that in public so people will think homeschool is successful.
3. When Ramzee was 3 she informed me that..."Boogers are not healthy food." That is the same year she told me, "I'm so tired I could eat an elephant."
2. Christmastime when Zane was 8, he told me that for Santa we should leave out a cold beer and a steak. Impressive thought if you ask me.
1. This was a post I put on Facebook 2 years ago. She was in Kindergarten. ยท
My dad does not have CANCER. despite what Ramzee says. She get the words cancer and surgery mixed up. Just a little foot surgery. :))
You gotta be careful. Misusing the word "cancer" is a good recipe for an absurdity...you might want to write that little pinch of wisdom down...brought to you straight FROM THIS SIDE OF THIRTY.
