Not ten minutes later Ava stomped over to me piping mad and on the verge of tears because...and this was her exact complaint..."Nate is pretending to spread imaginary salsa all over my room!!" I tried not to laugh as I asked if that was really SO bad since it was imaginary and all...but she was thoroughly miffed and replied, "I don't want imaginary salsa all over my room!"
Then last week when we were loading the car to take the kids to Cody's parents during our trip, Nate was crying because he couldn't find his favorite stuffed bear Brownie. We really needed to leave, but we did a fast search and couldn't find Brownie anywhere. So, I tried something that I really doubted would work. I gave him a different stuffed bear and suggested he take it instead. I was expecting a firm no, but surprisingly he was okay with that idea. And he quickly dubbed this different stuffed bear "White Brownie." And that, for some reason, makes me want to roll on the floor laughing. Here is a picture of Brownie (who has since been located) and White Brownie. I'll let you decide which is which.
And if for some reason you don't think my kids are funny...and that's okay, it won't hurt my feelings (as long as you don't tell me), then here is what else has me laughing lately. About 6 months ago we had a rolling gate installed across our driveway. They put a warning sign on each side of the gate. I've seen that sign hundreds of times over the past 6 months, but I never once actually noticed what was on the sign until last week. Obviously I am not the most observant person in the world. I am also, apparently, not the most mature because the picture on this sign has me in stitches.
You would think that the words "Serious Injury" and "Death" would impart some sense of respect and solemnity on my behalf. But no. That picture of a person getting squished by the gate...man, it is making me laugh while I am trying to type.

Your kids are really funny! I love hearing stories about what they do and say! You're right, that sign is hilarious! I might just have to keep coming back to your blog all day for a good laugh! Thanks, Becky!
I've always been amused at the illustrations on such warning signs. And I've often been amused by your kids...they are truly funny!
Yes, Becky you have some of the funniest kids around. The best part is they have a mom who can relay their stories in a very humorous way as well. I still laugh out loud about some of your blogs from the past - Ava's growing up song, Ava saying she loves swimming then goes to the lesson screaming and coming back home saying she loved it. Yes, your kids are a hoot. The sign is really funny also - just in case you did not get the message. :)
It was so good to see you at the picnic! We miss you and think of you often. I hope to get back on my computer in the next few weeks. I am hooked on my blackberry for checking e-mail, but can't figure out how to access the blog world. Love you!
