Pics, videos, jokes, stories... stuff about you or your own family... stuff off the Internet... WHATEVER.

Our Laughter Lives

From Michelle:

Today I HAD to buy Landis so more underwear. He was somehow down to 4 pair (who knows why/how that happened). I tried to find a pair of Abby's, for him to borrow, that were less girly than her normal attire. Princess, being a princess, had none that were even close to unisex. Since Brent is out of town, I just laughed and grabbed Dora.

Landis didn't care at all, but Princess Abby was a little put off. Two hours later, when Landis pooped on Dora, Abby was totally disgusted. Needless to say, she is not willing to share panties with Landis anymore. (of course after Brent reads this, Abby won't be the only one who feels that way, hee hee.).

While driving away from the store, with my packages of new Spidy underwear, I told the big kids what Landis did to Dora. They thought it was hilarious until I said, "since Abby won't share anymore, I let him borrow Sami's". Sami flipped and then begged me to tell her if I was kidding. I told her "of course I am not kidding, just ask Landis". Sami asks Landis if he is wearing her underwear, and he proudly pipes up from the back of the van and says, "Yes, I am!"

To test us Sami, asks us what color they are. I said a little brown, because of a "small accident". Sami, turned to Landis, with a disgusted look on her face and asked if he pooped in her underwear.

Landis proudly replied, 'Yep, I stinked 'em up!"

To Sami's relief, 20 minutes later, we finally stopped the car so she could unbuckle and check to see if Landis was wearing her underwear (he wasn't of course).

Yes, It is a true story. Dangerous I know to hand a joke over to a three year old, but he ran with it without skipping a beat. You have to love a three year old who knows how to make people laugh. Laughter lives!

From Brent:

We were driving Sunday and started talking about chickens.

"I want a baby chick, Dad-dee" Abby loudly informs us.

"You want a chick?" I said. "You know that baby chicks turn into chickens, right?"

"I want to have chickens Dad-dee" Abby adds.

"If we have chickens, you know they are not just pets right?" I asked.

"I want to have pet chickens, Dad-dee" Abby continues undeterred.

"Abby listen to me...." I get serious. "Little baby chicks are cute and fun, but they grow up to be chickens which we eat for food. You know, like chicken nuggets... those come from chicks that grow up to be chickens that we kill and eat..."

A few seconds of silence.... .... .... Abby's eyes get bigger... ... ...

"You have GOT to be kidding me!!!" our little four year exclaims with all genuine sincerity. I was laughing so hard at that point I could hardly drive.

After regaining my composure, I asked "so who's going to volunteer to clean up chicken poop every day?" That's where the story quickly ended.

You guys are too funny! I have also put little girl panites on my boy, but luckily we had some that passed as unisex.

I can't tell you how happy I get everyday to see Abby's chemo counter go down in number! I know it is still a large number, but it goes down everyday, and gets a little closer to her being done with chemo. I thank God everytime I see it, and pray for her health and treatments.

Heather said...

No funny story to relay ... not that there aren't some but my mind is complete and utter mush.Check in daily on your very full lives and continue to pray for Abby's complete healing and journey back to a carefree,painfree,joy filled childhood.

I don't have a blog, but I thought maybe I could leave you a chuckle in your comments.

I bought my 4-year-old a preschool workbook because he always wants to do “homework” when we’re doing spelling or reading words with his older brother. On Saturday, we were looking at a page that showed words “in context”, i.e.: Stop on stop sign, Exit above a door, etc. The idea was for the child to try to read the word by recognizing it in its setting. He did really well until we got to the last one. It showed a picture of a mat in front of a door. Trying to help him, I said, “Look, it starts with a W. What would we say that starts with a W that would let people know we are happy to have them at our house?”

His response: “Whippee!”

Love the underwear story. I can imagine Abby doesn't want that particular pair of Dora panties anymore.
Such a great story. There is nothing that can make you laugh like two children close in age!

Hi Michelle, I received your comment on my blog and thank you so very much for supporting PetitionToCureSMA.com. SMA is the leading genetic killer of infants, yet few have heard of it. The petition is one way we are trying to raise awareness about my daughter's illness and advocate for a cure. I'm always curious how people find us and the petition -- how did you? I am so glad you did. Your family is an inspiration. I am so sorry your darling daughter is battling cancer -- very bravely it seems. I hope you don't mind if I check in on you regularly? It is always nice to connect with other families and support one another. Best wishes,
Victoria -- Gwendolyn's Mommy
