Out of the mouths of my 4 babes….
.
When Luke was three, I handed him a few gummy snacks to enjoy. A couple of minutes later, he came to me with wide eyes and said, “I need more—I lost mine!” We weren’t sure if he’d actually lost them or just eaten them. George, who was ten at the time, must have been wondering the same thing. Without missing a beat, he placed his hand on Luke’s tummy and declared, “Let me check… Yep, those gummy snacks are in there—I can feel them! You didn’t lose them, you atethem!”
.
When Paul was six, he loved to tell stories—especially tall tales. One day, after enthusiastically recounting how he kicked a soccer ball so hard it flew straight through the front door, Ted couldn’t help but smile and say, “Paul, I think you’re exaggerating.” Without missing a beat, Paul replied, “Dad, I’m in kindergarten. I don’t even know what exaggerating means!”
.
One night after having take out food for dinner, I had the worst dream. The next morning, I told Clark, who was eight at the time, about it. “I dreamt that Dad and I were falsely accused of something and ended up in jail!” Clark’s eyes widened as he replied, “Mom, I’m SO glad you didn’t get my fortune cookie last night. The paper inside said, ‘Your dreams will come true!’”
.
A conversation with 10-year-old George:
“Mom, what other names were you and Dad thinking of before you decided on George?”
“Well,” I said, “we considered Ethan, William, and even Theodore the Fourth—after Dad, since he’s Theodore the Third.”
George lit up and said, “I wish you’d named me after Dad! I want to be just like him!”

These were FUNNY! I especially loved Clark’s fortune cookie comment 😆. I love that you’re capturing these memories because they’re so easy to forget. So precious.
I don’t have something funny to share from my boys but Jeff said something to a customer the other day that cracked me up! He works in technical support and had a customer who was frustrated by the long hold time before his call was answered. He asked Jeff if his hold time was so long because people were sleeping on the job. Jeff said no. This guy wouldn’t let it go. “I’m sure you guys must be sleeping. I waited on hold for a looong time. What is going on there? How come I had to wait? How many of you are asleep right now?? How come you’re allowed to sleep at work?” Jeff stood up, looked around the floor at his coworkers and said, “Sir. I’m looking around at the rest of the team and I can assure you that no one is asleep. We’re all awake. We’re all helping other customers. It’s a very busy time because it’s Christmastime.” Maybe not the BEST customer service on my hubby’s part but it just cracked me up!
That is hilarious!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
