A conversation with a second grader...It went something like this...

Jack: "Misses........."
 
Me : "Did you just call me Mrs.?!"
 
Jared: "You need to get one. Do you have to look around the world or something?"
 
Me: "What? I need to get one what? What are you talking about?"
 
Jared: "A husband, you need to get one. Do you have to go look around the world for one or something?"
 
Me: "I need a husband? What, am I not good enough by myself?"
 
Jared: "There's just a feeling inside me that you need to have a husband."
 
Me: (laughing hysterically) "Well, I am waiting for God to bring me just the right man to marry."
 
Jared: "Oh good, can I come to the wedding? I love the kissing part!"

What did you say?!

Being around kids all day I hear many, and say some, odd things. Most of them are just hilarious. I wish I could remember all the funny things my kids say; especially my five second grade boys! They are probably the silliest. Here are a few things that have been heard or said by me this week. Some are not direct quotes but they should be pretty close.
 
"You can't fire me from princess-ism." (6th grade girl)
 
"We're just all up and about and doing math!" (2nd grade boy)
 
"You all need to sit down and do your work; there is too much up-ness going on in here." (um, yeah, that would be me)
 
"These boys want to play with us, and I'm fine with that, but nobody wants to be the bad guy!" (2nd grade boy)

"This is the goodest day of my life!" (a second grade boy noticed the tv/vcr in the classroom)
 
"What is happening?!" (a second grade boy was not paying attention and got a little confused when I called on him to answer a question)
 
"My brain told me to say it!" (a second grade boy got tired of waiting for a classmate to answer the question, the answer just popped out!)
 
"Use it as an air stinkener" (5th grade boy; you know, opposite of air freshener!)
 
"That was the best play ever!" (k5 girl about the high schoolers' skit in chapel)

Best Lunch Ever

So trivial, but... today I had the best lunch ever! I had pork barbeque from mom, homemade mashed potatoes that Amanda and I made, and homemade applesauce from Aunt Sue. For dessert I ate some dark chocolate m&m's that my awesome mom brought to me as a special treat! Now that's one amazing, gluten free meal!!
