Weekend Funnies

We had one of those weekends that's hard to blog about, because it was so very busy it kind of made our heads spin.  I thought rather than give you the play-by-play, I'd just share a few things that made me giggle.

First of all, on Friday night we went to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, and when the party goers sat down for cake and ice cream, Grayson turned to me with tears welling up in his puppy dog eyes.  I went to him and asked him what was wrong,and he assured me it was nothing.  The next day, he told me that he was upset because his teacher's daughter sat beside him at the table, and he was afraid the kids in his class would think he liked her.  Like, liked her he meant.  Did I mention that she's nine years old?  And no one even noticed who he sat by?

Fast-forward to Saturday night.  We got take out from the Japanese restaurant, and after we sat at the table Grayson remembered he hadn't washed his hands.  He went into the kitchen and we all heard a bang and something falling to the floor.  Grayson walked into the dining room with his hands up and said, "Don't worry, Mom, the beer is OK!"  He knocked an unopened bottle of wine over onto the floor.  Should I be embarassed that he thought I was more worried about the wine than him?

In telling me about an incident at school on Friday, Grayson said "Miss Pace said if we didn't behave, we were going to see steam come out of her ears!! Do you think it really would have?  Was she telling the truth?  That would have been SO cool to see steam come out of her ears.  Does she have water in her head?"

I've got this image of Grayson's teacher as a female version of Yosemite Sam from the old Looney Tunes cartoons now!

Oooooooh, Ah hates that rabbit! ha ha ha ha ha

Well, I can see that in all cases, Grayson's priorities were exactly where they should be, ha ha.

[joy]

I love those!! I used to tell my kindergarteners I might just pull my hair out if they didn't behave. They thought that was hilarious. I love how literally they take everything!! So funny.

I suspect that frequently when dealing with Y9, steam DOES come out of my ears!
Oh and Grayson is my hero for saving the wine!! :-D

i think it's kinda cool that a 6 year old knows that steam comes from boiling water...

or has the fact I don't have kids left me unaware of the learning curve?

I dunno, I think that was pretty observant.

Maybe we should encourage him to try and make steam comes out of her ears? Wouldn't it be a fun experiment? Haha.

You have the cutest kids who say the cutest thing!
