the weekly funnies

Steven and I truly believe we have the smartest, funniest, and beautiful kiddos in the world. We are now at a point where both Lilly and Sadie say “smart” things. They have no idea that they are sarcastic or too literal in their words.  So I am going to give you a few examples, in “short hand”.  L is Lilly, S is Sadie, D is Daddy and M is Mommy.

L- I know what metamorphosis is.

D- Oh yea? Can you tell me what it is?

L- Um. Um. I having a hard time remembering exactly what it is.

S- The answer is tricky.

Sadie has what we call “Old Lady Syndrome”. She is like the sarcastic old ladies you see in the movies. Like the female Mr. Wilson in Dennis the Menace or Ouiser from Steel Magnolias. She just says things without thinking about or explaining. Her saying “The answer is tricky.” just came out of left field and no one saw it coming. And that is typically what happens.

We went out to dinner for our anniversary and Steven ordered fajitas. His meal was so big he offered the girls some to try. He made Sadie one with french fries- she’s a weird child- and Lilly one with refried beans and guacamole. Lilly either couldn’t say guacamole or didn’t hear it properly, either way this is what came out:

D- Did you want just beans or would you like some guacamole too?

L- I said I would like some whack-a-mole too please.

Lilly is at the starting age in understand and enjoying jokes. Steven has a lot of these so he happily asked Lilly and Sadie:

D- Do you know why 6 was afraid of 7?

L & S- No, why?

D- Because 7 ate 9. (laughing)

L- Oh. (Not laughing.)

D- Did you get it?

L- Yes, it was a joke.

D- Did you like?

L- No, it wasn’t very funny.

M- (Laughing hysterically at Lilly.)

We’ve been trying to get the girls to clean up as they play so there isn’t a huge mess to clean or the girls complaining that it’s a disaster and they don’t want to have to clean up that much at once. I told Sadie to clean up and stop staring at the TV. After telling her a handful of times I turned off the TV. She turned and growled/groaned, “That was NOT necessary.”

Oh, Sadie-Mae. All that was missing from that comment was for her tell us her hip was hurting, again.
