It is important for moms to laugh. I think the more that we laugh, the more joyful our homes can be. So, next time the day gets chaotic, the toddlers paint the walls with Desitin, or the dog throws up on the couch, remember to keep humor in your home. Remember the funnies and laugh. I recommend keeping them in a small journal to reread for years to come.
Our third son is constantly saying things that are too funny. He doesn't know he is funny because he is so serious. Sometimes he gets upset when we laugh. Here are a few recent ones from our home:
-Zach came up to me with gloves on his feet and hands, dressed to go outside. He was very upset and said, "I have a problem. I don't know who I am going to marry". He is only five years old. I have no idea where this came from, but it was funny.
-Abbi, three years old, dressed up in a tu tu, a cape and underwear. She said, "I am ready to go outside". Daddy said, "Aren't you missing something. She looked down and said, "Oh, yeah, my shoes."
-Zach was in the bathtub taking a bath with his toys. His three year old sister handed him the toys he requested, one at a time. He laid back with his arms behind his head onto the back of the tub. He turned to dad and said, "Aaah, this is the life".
-Abbi will come into my room if I don't get up when the sun is up. If I tell her to go back to bed, she has many times said, "But you the MOM". I think she would get up at the same time the rooster gets up, if we had one.
-We were in the bathroom of a gas station when Zach broke into song singing, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus". When his sister started laughing, he scolded her. The old ladies outside the bathroom were laughing.
-We were in the bathroom of a restaurant. Three year old Abbi went into the first stall and came out with her panties around her knees and said, "This one is too cold". She went into the next stall, coming out with her panties down still and said, "This one smells bad". She went into the third stall and said, "This one is just right". I don't know who was laughing harder her sister or the older women using the restroom.
-My son Zachary,4,came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.
The other day I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting a car. Zachary yelled out, "Thank you Jesus". My husband broke out laughing. Zach got his feelings hurt and said, "What? I didn't want to get in a car wreck".
Zach just got over pneumonia in his right lung. Dad rushed him to the
hospital when we knew something was wrong. While his too high of temps
had gone on too many days, he still was still filled with his unusual
humor. The nurse asked him if he was allergic to anything. He said,
very seriously, "yes, mud". "Mud? I bet your mom will be happy to hear
that," replied the nurse. "Yes, I took a bath in mud and got a red spot
on my leg (pointing to the inside of his thigh). Right here. That's how
I know I am allergic to mud." My husband tried not to laugh too hard in
Zach and had to turn away. I have no idea where he comes up with these
ideas. He then proceeded to ask every nurse that dealt with him to
scratch his back because it itched. Daddy said all but one did. Too
funny. He is such an interesting kid.
Zachary was admiring the sugar cookies that Sarah, older sister, just
put on the baking stone. He looked at them and said, "Cookies I have an
announcement. You are going to be eaten!" Sarah responded sadly with,
"aahh". Then Zach continued to converse with the cookies, "I am sorry
cookies, but you taste sooo good. You are made out of milk, eggs, and
puddin (no puddin in cookies but an interesting ingredient to
consider-he,he). You taste soo good." He said a few other funny things
to the cookies. It was funny to watch him talk in such an animated way
to the cookies before they went into the oven.
The babysitter read our five year old a
story and then fell back on his bed with him. He said, "Do you want to
live her forever with us?" She laughed and said, "yes". He said, "It's
because of my pictures on my wall, isn't it? (referring to all his
colorings he tore out of his coloring book and taped to his wall). He
then said, "Yep, I know that you love my pictures so much that you want
to live here forever with us." She laughed as she told us this.
A few bedtime excuses by three year old Zach:
1. He opens his eye with his fingers, and looking at the ground, says, "Daddy my eyeball fell out", as he looks around at the ground.
2. He walks in our bedroom with a child's hanger wrapped around his foot and says, "Mom, my foot is hurt. The hanger falls off. He quickly puts it back on and says, "Look it's stuck on my ankle".Then the hanger falls off his leg. He looks up sheepishly.
3. He comes into our bedroom with a hair bow that was stuck on his head to tell us about it.
(yes, he gets into trouble for it, but it still is funny-he seems so creative)
Here are a few other ones that I found from the Family Fun magazine (which the children and I love to flip to the back cover and read. We have so much fun laughing together as we read them):
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of
the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her
4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister,
Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then she added,
"Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now.
She's hitting the bottle."
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to
elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on
my afternoon rounds. The various appliances of old age,
particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly
intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a pair of
false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the
inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and
whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party.
When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy,
you shouldn't wear that suit." "And why not, darling?" "You
know that it always gives you a headache the next morning."
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated
as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something
fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at
it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in
between the pages. "Mama, look what I found", the boy called
out." What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in
the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's
underwear."
