That girl is epic.

Once a month our children's minister Ms. Kristin has the kids come up front at the beginning of the 11:00 service for a story. This month of course the topic was being thankful. She started by asking the children to list things they were thankful for. She got the usual "I'm thankful for my mom, my brother, my dog" etc. until she got to one of the deacon's kids who said "I'm thankful for a pencil and paper so I can draw when the sermon gets boring".

LAWL.




When I was a kid, my parents would have band practice a couple nights a week. One week, I decided to draw pictures for the band members. One of the guy's name was Al. I was just learning how to read/write, etc, and so I drew a picture and title it "Owl."





Also, I had a doll that my aunt gave me. It was like a little miniature china doll. I took it to my dad one day, asking him to tell me what the sticker on the bottom of the base said - since I couldn't read, and had assumed that it would tell me what her name was. He read, "Made in China..." and I took the doll, hugged it, and said in a dreamy sigh, "Ah, Maiden China!" and walked away blissfully.



I wasn't that smart of a kid.

When my daughter was little she had a doll named Toobose--at least that was my interpretation for a long time. One day I asked my wife how she had thought of a name like Toobose. My wife said she has a bow on each of her slippers. Aha, Two Bows.

Hehehehe. That is pretty darn cute.



I do seem to have a lot of interesting stories from working with kids at the portrait studio.... one of my favorites is when I was photographing a very large, mob-style family (as in, they were very, very italian, very robust, and very loud.... and pretty much told everyone what to do). When they were all leaving the room, one of the very obnoxious, outspoken boys, who was about eight or so, came right up to me and said, "Hey, thanks Deb!"


I was a little confused, and said, "Uh, Deb? Well, that isn't my name.... but I guess you can call me whatever you want." To that he replied, "No, no! Haven't you ever seen Napolean Dynamite?? You're just like Deb, with her glamour shots! Gosh!"



I about died. It was so awesome.

I picked up some egg nog, peppermint candy, and pumpkin pie ice cream for an after dinner snack tonight. My daughter just had a drink of milk before going to bed and she said "the milk doesn't taste all that good, but maybe my taste buds are still wow'ed from the ice cream".

I'm not an mum, but I'm an aunt and I have a couple of great nephews.

One night, we were outside and there was a full moon.
I pointed to the moon and said, "Look, Lochy, what's that?"
The three year old said, "It's the moon." (Clever kid.)
I said, "What's it doing?"
He said, "It's mooning you."

Ha!

My cousin's kids have this code that they're married since they're both opp. sex.

Another funny incident back at NC is when my cousin's son was sent to his room, he shouted at the top of his lungs so hard that he sounded like Grandma Fuscaldo.
