Evy, nearly 12 and a straight A student in Honors classes, gets out our new vaccuum (which is much like our old one) and expresses in frustration:"HOW DO YOU GET THIS THING TO WORK???"
Seren, 8, asks: "Evy, have you tried plugging it in?"
Evy: * facepalm *
Xander had to come and use my bathroom because there was a fly in his bathroom.
He didn't want to use his bathroom because flies like icky places and he was afraid that when he pulled down his pants, the fly would attack his butt crack.
So, in life, when you are faced with a "call of nature", consider whether your answer is a reflection of the fear the fly flying up your butt crack.
There are always options, brave the fly, use another toilet, or a bush.
But, it's not a valid reason to pee or poop your pants.
I received the best weight loss compliment ever today from my little Penny. I finally had to go shopping for new and smaller clothes today and took her with me into the dressing room. As I was trying on a pair of pants, and loud enough for all to hear of course, Penny says: "Wow, mom! Your butt crack looks WAY smaller!"
This afternoon's Serenism is brought to you by: It's doable!
We were out driving around when Evy said: Aww...Xander fell asleep on me!
Me: Welp, I guess that means when we get home, you'll have to sit there until he wakes up.
Evy: Mom!
Me: Don't worry, I'll bring you out some water.
Seren : And I'll bring you a bucket for later.
Last night's Serenism is brought to you by: Awakenings.
Last night after the kids' bedtime, I heard giggling in the bathroom. I opened the door to find Penny standing at the sink playing with the water and Seren standing in the bathtub behind the shower curtain, holding a pillowcase.
After they were busted, Seren said: I wasn't playing in the bathroom, Mommy, just Penny.
Me: That explains why I found you giggling behind a shower curtain, holding a pillowcase.
Seren: Well, I was trying to put it away!
Me: In the shower?
Seren scowls at me then puts the pillowcase in the linen closet.
Last night's Zany Xander moment is brought to you by : The logical order of things...
Xander to Mommy: Seren is being mean!
Mommy: What is Seren doing?
Xander (in toddler speak): Serenity push me on the bed, try to make me fall off! She try to hurt me, make me die, then I will go to the doctor!
Mommy: All in that order?
Xander: Yup!
