Tonight's Serenism is brought to you by : Soup's on!

We're all sick over here, so we're trying to get better by eating lots of soup for dinner. Evy dumps a bit of her glass of water on herself and we all laugh.

Evy: What?! I didn't do it!
Mommy: If you didn't dump water on yourself,  then what happened?
Evy: The bowl of soup knocked the glass out of my hand!
Seren: I guess Evy has SOUP-ER powers!

Wednesday's Penny Thought is brought to you by : The Goblin King.

We were visiting with a friend who was telling Xander that he knew how Xander felt because the man also had many sisters, 8 to be exact.
Penny, who just turned 5 not long ago and has no formal education, shared a profound truth that she concluded all on her own: "Excuse me, but you needed to get rid of about 5 sisters."

Daddy made a pineapple cake for dessert tonight.

Mommy hears Penny grunting and struggling,  then hears Penny say: "Give me my money! "

Mommy peaks in Penny's room to find that Penny has ripped an eye off her piggy bank and was trying to rip the nose off!

Mommy takes the piggy bank and asks, "May I help you?"

Penny says: "Yes, but you have to screw it to get the money out!"

Freudian slip???
