Overheard

Catherine and Amelia were sitting at the table for breakfast:

Amelia: "Caferine, what did the dog say to the shark?

Catherine who is in her own little world doesn't answer her sister. 

Amelia: "CAFERINE! What did the dog say to the shark??"

Catherine: (snaps out of it) "I don't know, what did the dog say to the shark?"

Amelia: "Nothing!"  and she busts out laughing. And so do I. Another Amelia joke.

The things they say

While working on a math lesson with a certain boy child-

him- "Why do I have to learn this anyway?"

me- "You need to know math. You will use it for the rest of your life. It will help you in managing your money and providing for your family, and...."

him- "But I am not going to get married?"

me- "You're not?"

him- "Nope. I am just going to be some lonely guy with a bunch of animals."

me- (ready to bust out laughing) "Well you will still need money to pay for the food to feed your animals."

him- (long pause)  "Oh."

We continue on in the math lesson, and I am left wondering where in the world does he come up with this stuff!!

Joseph lost a tooth yesterday. Last night after I tuck the kids in bed Patrick walks in the kitchen....

me- "Patrick, what are you doing?"

Paddy- "Getting a bag to put Joseph's tooth in"

me- "Patrick, the tooth fairy doesn't come for Joe anymore. Joe, knows that."

(btw Joe knows how the tooth fairy works. wink, wink)

Paddy- "I know, I am going to put his tooth under my pillow and then give Joe the cash."

The cash. That cracks me up!
