Kids say the darndest things...



Yes, I am aware I am doing Friday Confessional on Monday, but I wasn't inspired to blog on Friday.

Yesterday was adventurous....to say the least.

*Sunday morning about 9:30 my cell phone rang.

*Because I don't answer numbers I don't know I wait for the voicemail to ring through.

*As I'm listening to the message I start having a little panic attack as one of the councilers in the bishopric is asking me if I got the message that they wanted me to speak in church today.

*Obviously he's joking.

*Who leaves a message for someone to speak in church?!

*Especially when said someone dropped their phone in a sink full of water a few weeks ago and so it randomly works.

*Uhhh...NO!  No, would be the answer, I did not get that message.

*I calmly called him back and told him that besides my primary class, I would not be giving any talks in church today.

*His reply "We'll get you next time"

*Good luck with that.

*After church we discover there's no sour cream in the fridge and my sister in law needs it for the poppy seed chicken.

*Being the gracious tenant that I am I volunteer to go to the store.

*Secretly I wanted to go because I needed chocolate and in a house with 5 kids there is never any chocolate.

*It's like they have a 6th sense.

*Last Sunday I found my youngest nephew hiding in my closet with 3 candy bars and a handful of kisses I had stashed.

*Later, we had our home teachers come by for a visit.

*Thats how you know its the end of the month.

*He is talking about examples and proceeds to ask Cooper, the oldest of the 5 children, if he wants to serve a mission.

*He explains that some of the choices Cooper makes are going to set the example for the younger kids,

because they'll want to be like him.

*I make a joke that his little brother Paxton is already like him because they both have big ears.

*That's who I am.  I'm the jokster.

*Until, Paxton came along.

*Paxton: "We also have matching butts."

*Yep.  THAT just happened!

*After a few minutes of literally ROFL, their mother explains they have matching birthmarks.

I'm so sad I'll be moving out soon.
