Tonight's Serenism is brought to you by: Charmin and Glade.

Family in the kitchen hears grunting from the other side of the house.
Mommy: (joking) Seren, are you pooping?
Seren: YES!
Daddy: Seren, close the bathroom door!
Seren: But I CAN'T!
Daddy: Evy, please go close the bathroom door...and turn on the fan!
Evy: (goes to close bathroom door) OH, SEREN!!!  That STINKS!!!

Tonight's Serenism is brought to you by: Dog, please eat my homework!

I asked Seren to do her homework without my assistance this week, which means she would have to do most of it by herself, then I would review it and help her with the hard parts tonight.  I have uploaded a picture of Seren's homework.  I get the impression that she isn't excited to do it...

Last night's Serenism is brought to you by: Mr. Potatohead

Seren does not like to eat potatoes, unless they come in the form of a French Fry.  However, when we served her with both mashed potatoes and rice at last night's dinner and gave her chopsticks, she ate every bite for the first time ever!

Moral of the story:  If we want Seren to eat her potatoes, give her chopsticks.

Every Girl's Crazy About a Sharp Dressed Man

It's been a few days since I last posted, so I figured I'd post some cute pictures of Xander and Penny.

You know your child is becoming a teenager when they can no longer identify what is in front of their nose...

Evy:  Mom, I'm out of toilet paper.  Where do I find more rolls?
Me: They're in my closet; you cant' miss them.
Evy (returning from closet): I can't find them.
Me: Go back and look again; they're right in front of you.
Evy (returns from closet again): I still can't find the toilet paper...
Me: Really???

Seren: Mommy, are mangoes healthy?
Mommy: Let's think about this...did Jehovah make mangoes?
Seren: Yes!  But, Satan made pizza because it's not good for you.

Mommy: *sigh* Child...Satan made donuts too...(joking...she knows he made neither)

I need a beer

Getting Seren to do her homework is akin to herding a honey bee to it's hive when it's intent on smelling flowers.
