Sunday Funnies

Do you remember the Sunday comics? Look at me, I speak of Sunday comics as though they are a thing of the past... I'm pretty sure they still exist. Well, we don't get the newspaper, so naturally we don't get the funny pages. But I remember growing up and having my sister beat us if we read the comics before her. She was mean like that. It's amazing I ever made it to adulthood.

Anyway, off that tangent. I thought I'd take a few moments to share some Sunday funnies of our own.

A few days back Kami was lifting a three pound weight in the family room.
"I'm trying to get skinnier" she says to me.

Um... okay.

(In case you immediately don't start laughing you must have missed the punch line. My daughter is, quite literally, a walking toothpick.)

Stake conference came and went today leaving us with a very confused and troubled son. You see, when they final speaker concluded his talk Cooper lept from his seat and exclaimed
"Now it's time for my big steak!"
I guess you can't tell a foodie about a "steak" conference without some misinterpretation taking place. I felt bad for the poor kid. He was even trying to be really good so he could make sure to get his big steak dinner with all his friends.

The other day I had to tell Landon not to drink shampoo from the shampoo bottle. Maybe you don't find this funny, I for one find it hilarious. (The things we mother's say.)

Landon brushed his teeth with my mascara.
9 out of 10 dentists recommend it.

Cooper told Brandon at nap time today that, and I quote,
"Mom doesn't like naked boys in her bedroom."
I'm sorry, I know that doesn't appear to be exactly G-rated. But I promise, the reason he said it was because he was sleeping on our bedroom floor and he had wrapped himself in a blanket to hide the fact that he was only in his undies because... "Mom doesn't like naked boys in her bedroom."

Today, Kameryn pants-ed Brandon. I laughed until my body shook.
(In her defense, he had it coming.)

And, to finish off, probably one of my favorite funnies from the week:

I was in the basement putting away food storage when Kameryn came quickly down the stairs. "Mom, come here, we really need you." Naturally I, thinking Landon was being crushed to death, bolt up the stairs. When I come to their bedroom Kameryn casually points to a drawer, "We need you to put the kitchen drawer back in 'cuz we can't"
odd. alright.
Then she says to me "We made a mess"
I glance around their room that mere minutes ago was immaculate and nod. "It looks like it."
"Oh no Mom! We cleaned up."
"You cleaned up?" I asked incredulously.
"Oh yeah Mom, it was a disaster!"

I can imagine.


These are old facebook status' from funny things my kids have said. I figure I might as well save them somewhere I can remember them.

Kami's excuse for locking her brother in the porch: "Mom! He's a screamer!" and then she says, with a little more sass then necessary, "Do you want a screamer in here?" - July 26 9:17 am

Brandon asked me how the kids have been today. I said fantastic. After he left kami said, "mom, why did you tell dad fantastic? I'm in time out." - July 28 1:31 pm

Here's another Kameryn one: She says to me at 8:50 this morning, "Mom, we haven't even made a mess today." She just woke up so I would hope not. - July 29 8:55 am

Cooper is on a roll. Today at lunch when I told him I wasn't going to bring his drink to him, he could come get it, he said to me "But mom, we don't have legs!" And then he smiled at me like: aren't I witty? - June 29th 2:49 pm

I am in the kitchen making dinner and Brandon, my husband, starts whining to me from the couch "Mom! Cooper (my 4 year old) is giving me titty twisters!" - June 28 6:34 pm

I found my two-year old putting a 1/3 a stick of additional butter on his pancake at breakfast. I told him that was a lot of butter. He looked at me and said "I like budda." - June 22 11:01 am
