Ha ha!

• The day after Thanksgiving, we pulled out all the leftovers and had another big meal.  After we were done and began cleaning up, Makenna said, "Thank you!  This meal was atrocious...wait, what does that mean?"
• Kasidee came home from school one day, so excited to tell me about what she had learned in her SEM class.  She said, "We learned all about brittle!"  (Braille)
• The girls were playing a guessing game with Christmas songs.  One would shake a bell to the tune of a song and the other girls had to guess which song it was.  Makenna did, "Up on the Housetop."  Kasidee excitedly exclaimed, "Oh I know this one!  It's 'Raintop Tra La La's!'"

Even More Funnies

• We were watching "Alone" one day and the survivor men woke up to find frost everywhere, even on their sleeping bags.  Kasidee exclaimed, "Oh no!  It's frosting!"
• The night before Kasidee's 8th birthday, she asked what time she was born.  I told her around 12:30 in the afternoon.  When woke up the next day, on her birthday, she asked, "Wait, what time is it?  I might have already been born!" 
• Kasidee began closing the garage door but then we realized we should take Wink for a walk so she said, "Should I undo the garage door?"
• Makenna was excitedly telling me a story and I chuckled when she began a sentence with, "Me and somepeople else...."
• One lazy Sunday afternoon, I was so tired and I asked Kasidee if she would like to take a nap with me.  She said, "I'd like to, but I have to get my energy out first...."
• Makenna knows how much I love my hair to be played with or brushed.  One day she suggested, "Do you want to play beauty parlor, and I'll be the parlor?"
• Kiera has been wanting to learn how to cook more things.  I was teaching her how to do pasta, which I thought she already knew how to do.  The package said to boil the pasta for 9 to 11 minutes.  But since Kiera only added 3/4 of the package, she thought she only had to boil it for about 7 minutes (3/4 the time)....

Funnies

• Kiera is a huge reader.  She reads every chance she can get.  She was worried once that she is addicted to reading.  One day she said, "Oh this book is so good!  It's un-put-down-able!"
• Kiera has been worried about how picky she is.  She watches her sisters, who enjoy many foods, and I think she feels guilty for not being excited about trying new things.  One night before dinner, she was lamenting about how she should try new things but it's scary.  Makenna gave the prayer on the food and said very seriously, "Please help Kiera to get the vegetation she needs...."
• One night we made french fries and tater tots to go with our dinner (yum!)  The next morning, the girls wanted to set up a spa and play.  Makenna went downstairs and said, "Ew - what is that smell?"  I told her it was the grease smell from the fries we made the night before.  She said, "Hmm...well, that won't be good for business!"
• We set up the trampoline and Makenna was studying the metal poles.  She asked, "Is lightning addicted to trampolines?"
• I made Makenna some garlic mashed potatoes, which she loves.  I asked Kasidee if she would like some too.  She said, "Well, I like them okay but if I was going on a trip and could only take one thing, well, that wouldn't be it."
• The girls were playing "store" and I overheard Kiera tell Kasidee, "The customer is always right, even if they say 9+10 is 21."
• I was talking to the girls about the importance of saving money and how we are saving for when Daddy retires - I stressed to them that we will need to have enough money to live comfortably even when Daddy is not earning money anymore.  Makenna said, "When Daddy grows up, will he not have to go to work anymore?"
• The girls were so excited to set up the small tent and sleep downstairs.  Kasidee used her new mummy sleeping bag.  When I asked her why she didn't have a pillow, she said, "I don't need one.  My zombie bag already has one!"
