Last night's Penny Thought

Penny: Mommy, I want some ice cream.
Me: ARSE cream--, wait! Did Penny just say ICE cream???
Evy: Yes! Can we pick up some cake to go with it tonight?
Penny: Butt cake!
Me: BUNDT cake, Penny...*sigh*

Tonight's Penny Thought and Serenism:

Tonight's Serenism is brought to you by: Little Seizures (Caesar's) pizza on the dinner table.
Seren (matter-of-factly):  Mom, I'm not hungry because all of these farts are telling me that I need to go potty.

Penny Thoughts:
Penny (brings mommy over some "wings"):  Mommy! You have Bar-fly wings!
Mommy:  Do you mean BUTTERFLY wings?
Penny: Uh-huh!
Mommy: I'm glad we clarified that, Penny.

Tonight's Penny Thought is Brought to you by KFC...

So, we're having a quick dinner at KFC before dressing the kids for meeting and Penny runs across the restaurant toward the soda machine with her cup, yelling the whole way, "MOMMY, MY CUP IS OUT OF BEER!  I NEED MORE BEER IN MY CUP!"  Mommy: "ROOT beer, Penny..."

Today's Penny Thought

Is brought to you by the present from Aunt Christy:

Penny: "I want some Butt Cake!" Mommy: "BUNDT cake, Penny." Evy: "With ice cream!" Penny: "Butt Cake with Arse cream!" Mommy: "BUNDT cake with ICE cream, Penny..."

Later...Penny: "It's a PRINCESS Butt Cake!"  Mommy: "BUNDT cake, Penny..."

Xander says no

Well, at the tender age of 9 months, Xander has learned to express his negative responses by saying "Ah- Ah!" Which means "no".  If we delay too long in taking him out of his crib, we hear, "Ah-ah!"  If we're taking too long preparing his bottle, he says, "Ah-ah!"  If his sisters take something from him, he chews them out with, "Ah-ah!"  And, as the crumbs fell away from his first cupcake, he emphatically told them: "Ah-ah!"

Sarcasm

A classic example of how my 5 year old is more sarcastic than my 8 year old:

Evy and Seren were having a dinnertable discussion.  Evy asks Seren, attempting a stab at humor, "What kind of dessert do moles eat?"  I instantly think 'arse cream' (in Penny's words).  Seren answers: "Ars-ICE cream!"  Evy says, "No, worm cake!"  (She didn't get it).  Penny, "Arse cream?!"  Mommy, "ICE cream, Penny."

Penny Thoughts and Serenisms

Tonight's Penny thought: 

Penny was looking up at Daddy while sitting on his lap and gasped: "Daddy! You have a spider up your nose!"  I suppose the tarantula hairs gave it away...

Tonight's Serenism:

I enter the girls' bedroom to turn off their reading lamp while they are sleeping.  I look at Seren, who had complained that her eye hurt earlier, had gone to sleep with the teeniest wad of toilet paper crumpled up on her eyelid.  We tried to convince her earlier that toilet paper would not help her eye.  She didn't believe us...
