Children: April 2005 Archives

April 01, 2005 Our Kids Are Not Funny If any of you don't know today was April Fool's Day. The two youngest came downstairs bright and early and said, "We are giving you a diamond pin." I looked up from where I was busily trying to read the blogs I didn't get to read the night before and said, "That's nice. Thank You." Knowing these two not funny little people were up to something. A box is extended and it is open in the "ta da" fashion and inside is a dime and a pin. They laugh and laugh in that 'get it? get it?' kind of humor that only kids should try at any given time. The rest of the day is spent trying to find a way to 'get' Dad when he comes home. It is all goofy, hokey stuff that is not even remotely funny, but you can't tell them that. When Steven comes home he is bombarded with reasons he should put his hat on. Like I had warned he was not interested in putting on his hat ... his John Deere cap. So the 7 and 9 year olds keep trying to get him to put it on thinking in their delight of trying to pull the world's best April Fool that he won't notice the wad of stuff they have placed in his cap and believing that on this one day gravity ceases to exist and the said wad of stuff won't fall out. I am a very bad mother. I have raised children who are not the least bit funny ... but they THINK they are. Actually, maybe I am a great mother because I have raised children who believe that on any given day ANYTHING is possible. Yahhhh me! Posted by Angie at 06:27 AM | Comments (0)
