Kids

You just gotta love the honesty of kids.

I have to start this story by telling you that we got the kids a new game for their PS2 system. We got them Guitar Hero III. I have to be honest, though, and say that I have had more fun with that game than anybody else in the house. The hubby plays guitar, so gets frustrated with it because he thinks he should play that guitar like he does one of his own. The kids don't quite have the dexterity for it, but the baby girl is actually picking it up quite well.

I was messing around with the game again this afternoon for a little while before the kiddos got home from school. I had to run an errand this afternoon, and while I was out put the radio on the local Classic Rock station instead of my usual Country station. One of the songs that I had been playing on the PS2 game came on. I was telling the hubby and the kids about that at dinner this evening. Upon hearing about it, baby girl asked me, "so you mean the songs on the game are really sang?"

Me: Yes, baby, a lot of those songs are songs Mommy and Daddy used to listen to when we were younger.

Baby Girl: Ohhhh...so they're OLD!

Hubby and I cracked up. I nearly spewed my food all over the place, and he looked like he was about to roll out of his chair. She acted mad that we were laughing...thought we were laughing at her...until we explained to her that she had made a real funny joke without even meaning to.

Kids are great!

100th Day of School

Yikes! It's been nearly a month since the last time I wrote. Every time I think I'm going to get better about blogging, things come up and blogging is the farthest thing from my mind. We've had a stressful few days, but I wanted to write about something cute today instead.

Today was my kids' 100th day of school. Girl child, who is in second grade this year, brought me a little packet of activities they had done. One of them was really cute. It had a list of 10 things that if they had a hundred of them, they were supposed to answer what they would do. Here are her responses:

1. If I had 100 dollars, I would... spend 50 and save 50.
2. If I had 100 pencils, I would... write 100 sentences.
3. If I had 100 mosquito bites, I would... scratch with 100 serving spoons.
4. If I had 100 friends, I would... play with them all.
5. If I had 100 legs, I would... run very fast.
6. If I had 100 eyes, I would... look all different ways.
7. If I had 100 arms, I would... grab 100 things.
8. If I had 100 noses, I would... smell 100 roses.
9. If I had 100 fingers, I would... point at 100 people.
10. If I had 100 moms, I would... ride on their hands.

The last four things, she had to fill in the blank of what item she would have 100 of. I just thought it was really cute.
