Quirky Quips

It is easy to get distracted in life and lose track of the blog. But a post like this one is just the thing to get me moving in the right direction. 

These quotes are from 2 to 3 years ago. They still make me laugh and it is certainly funny to think how these kids' brains work.

Daisy, Mom, and Ivory are talking about school.

Daisy: I hope the desk fairy comes.

Ivory: What's the desk fairy?

Daisy: She leaves a High Chew in your desk if its clean.

Ivory: My teachers might have done that, but I don't know since my desk is never clean.

Pearl and Daisy were arguing over who's turn it was to play on G'ma's ipad.

Pearl: I have to finish my level!

Daisy: No, it's my turn!

After a moment, Pearl hands it over.

Pearl: Here you go Daisy. You can have it.

Daisy gladly takes the ipad to find that it was out of battery and completely dead.

Mom looks at Ivory: How many days are in your months?

Ivory: 32

Steven, June, and Robyn are walking home from school. Steven keeps throwing snowballs at them.

Steven: You've got to be careful here, because the snow here is tedious.

June: What did you say?

Steven: I said the snow is tedious.

June: Do you know what that word means?

Steven: Yeah...dangerous.

June: No, it means boring. Like, if something is tedious, it's boring.

Robyn: No, Steven's right. Tedious, as in something tediously leaning off a cliff.

June: Are you thinking of tenuous, maybe?

Robyn and Steven: No, we're right!

June: Look it up! (A few minutes later) Tedious adj. Too long, slow, or dull, tiresome, BORING.

Robyn: That's lame.

Talking about celebrity crushes.

Robyn: Who's your celebrity crush June?

June: Orlando Bloom.

Mom: (laughing) Not Lando Calrissian.

After looking at pictures of Orlando Bloom.

Robyn: Okay, I guess he's okay for you.

Mom and Dad agree that Sunday School was good today.

Ivory: You're in the same class? But you're a year apart!

Since the kids are separated by age groups, it never occurred to her that there is only one adult class.

That's it for today. Hope a couple of these made you smile.
