The things they say...an oldie but a goodie!

I remembered this one after I saw the marks on the wall yesterday. It probably two or three years ago already.

Me to Racky and Lula: Who put these marks on the wall? There are little holes all over the wall.

Lula ever so matter-a-factly: Maybe it was a woodpecker?

They didn't get the memo?!?!

Last week I heard yet another unwelcome guest in our home as I lay in bed, a mouse, I think. Well the hubby wouldn't get out of bed for a mouse so I had to wait until the next day and we set a trap.

The kids were aware of the situation and checked the trap about every 5 seconds. Lula had an idea, the mouse can't find the cheese on the trap. What they didn't get the "meet me at the mouse trap memo"!?!?

So she proceeds to cut out paper color it yellow and add "cheese holes" and made a trail of paper cheese to the trap so it would find the trap. Why didn't I think of that? :0) She is our creative one all right!

Well it still hasn't gotten the memo. They is no signs (aka mouse crap) of it being in the house, hubby thinks they are in the walls. Nice! Please oh please don't die in the walls and smell the whole house up!

The things they say...

The scene: Racky and daddy in the hot tub. For unknown reasons daddy's said something about the family jewels. Then daddy has to explain what the family jewels are.

Daddy (after explaining what they are adds): It's where the babies come from.

Racky: So does mom have them too?!?!

I'm bracing myself for the time he recalls this conversation and asks a few questions.
