Recently I’ve learned a few things, unusual things. How about a list? A list of 10 perhaps???
1. If you chip the bonding off of one of your front teeth in juuuuuust the right place…. you whistle when you talk. Ask me how I know this.
2. My daughter’s teachers have a knickname for her: National Enquirer. Used in a sentence – “Here comes the National Enquirer to tell us all the details of what happened”.
3. The “Rock of Gibralter” is in Spain. In other words, just because it is owned by the U.K. doesn’t mean it is actually located there. Yep, my geography-impairment strikes again!
4. When teaching your child to sound something out phonetically you can sometimes accidently teach them to say a cuss word. Again….Ask me how I know this!
5. If you have a group of kids in a choir that are below age 6 and you think that they will stand still for 20 minutes and NOT play with their scarf in creative and unusual ways then you are not as smart as you think you are.
6. Husbands can do crafts too. Your liklihood of this will greatly increase if you are uber stressed over the holidays and biting the head off of anyone and everyone you encounter. They will probably do anything if it means you’ll go away quietly and let them live.
7. My daughter might actually talk more than my mother and my mother-in-law combined. I didn’t know this was physically possible.
8. There is actually something called a cork oak tree. Who knew?
9. My daughter has learned the word “insane”. Would you like a direct quote? I asked the child to eat her roast beef. Child responded “are you insane?”. Child then received a stern warning and a discussion about respectful speech…. but that’s beside the point. Who taught her the word “insane”??????
10. There is an actual disorder called Alice in Wonderland syndrome. I Know! I was shocked too.
Ok, does the Alice in Wonderland syndrome fall under the heading of “Made you look!”? I had to go look it up. Who knew? Promise if Isobel and A.G. get together you won’t let her teach Isobel any new words.
funny post! I’m laughing early this morning!
Okay, first off I had no idea the Rock of Gibralter was owned by anyone. How did the U.K. get dibs?
And as for #9… you’re kidding, right? I know exactly where she learned that!
#2 gave me a chuckle.
You’re daughter never fails to crack me up, never!
Anna Grace is such a hoot. I love her teacher’s nickname for her. So funny! Or is that insane?
Hysterical, I love your Wit! Wait until you tell her something and then she tells you; “You can’t prove that”. I have often wondered where Juliette has learned such things, but then realized that God put her here to remind me to laugh. ;D Actually, they all make me laugh in their own way. I never thought one of my children giving me “the finger” would make me laugh so hard and be so proud at the same time, but when my daughter with down syndrome, Jennifer, gave me “the finger” while I was asleep (not knowing her dad saw her) because I took her door off her bedroom for not listening, I was rolling on the floor. I assure you if I ever write a book, I will call it; “I never thought the finger would make me so proud”…Allan said, “Down Syndrome, my behind”, “she knows exactly what’s going on Lori”, “and she lifted that arm up just like you”!”
“Like mother, Like daughter”.
