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.

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.

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.

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.
