Funny Things from Around These Parts . . .

. . . or as Ben said one night as he was trying to avoid going to bed, "armed with witty aphorisms." 

Who says "witty aphorisms"?  My kid, that's who.

Ben also asked if my toenails were naturally that color.  When I said no, it was a gold-green polish, he replied, "Good.  I was hoping they weren't just yellowing with age."  That is gross.

Hyrum was quite upset one afternoon.  I came downstairs to find him huddled under his silky in front of the fridge.  When asked what was wrong, he responded, "Can't I get a little privacy?"

Micah's humor can't be well translated into written word, but let's just say that he has a wicked Flynn Rider (from Tangled) impression.  Smolders and raised eyebrows are hilarious on a seven-year-old.

And everything out of Evie's mouth is funny right now.  That girl could charm the pants off Obama if given the chance.  I've tried to get her recorded saying her funny stuff, but she instantly puts up her unfunny antics when on camera.

Just a few of the aphorisms from around these parts. I love having funny kids. Sometimes it saves their skin, if you know what I mean.
