Hy-pop-athus

Ever since we got our van a few years ago, our kids decided to call it "Herbie".  So today...as we were driving, they were having random discussions again, when Braden comes out with this.

"Mom, you know when we get into our van, it's kind of like Herbie is eating us.  And then, when we get out of the van, it's sort of like he is digesting us and pooping us out."

I said, "Oh yeah...that's interesting."

Then he says, "That's called a hypopathus."  (I think he meant, hypothesis.)

A Handsome Man

Wow...it's almost been a year since my last post.  But...our kids really set the pace for this.  Sometimes there are months where nothing is said or done that is really 'blog-worthy' and then there are days like yesterday, where they  pump out the 'funnies'.

So...yesterday, we had a snag in our plans.  My keys got locked in the van and we had to use my parents' vehicle to go and pick up my husband's keys so we could get in our van. We had to drive about 10 minutes and it worked out that Shawn's boss had to head our way anyway...so we arranged to meet him at his house, where he would bring us Shawn's keys.  As soon as we had finished getting the keys from Brad, we drove off and Braden says, "Wow...he's even more handsome than I thought!"  I could not stop laughing!  I said, "Yes honey, he is a handsome man!"

Still chuckling to myself, Braden starts again, "And mom...you know how sometimes when we say things, you tell all your friends??  Well...when you do that, it makes me embarrassed."  So I tried to explain, "I know Braden, it's just that sometimes you guys say such cute things and I just have to share it with somebody."  To which he responded, "Well...can't you just share it ONLINE??!!"
