Boys!

Two Little Boys

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it.

If any mischief occurred in their neighborhood, the two boys were probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.

The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, 'Do you know where God is, son?'

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, 'Where is God?'

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, 'Where is God?'

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, 'What happened?'

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, 'We are in BIG trouble this time,'

(I just LOVE reading this next line again and again:)





'GOD is missing, and they think we did it!'

WARNING: Toddler Damage!

It is amazing what you can re-train your brain to do. For instance, I consistently use the right shift key every time. Also, when I type a W I really make sure the pad of my finger finds the mark. Fortunately I was able to reattach the Y and P, because I use those two a lot. So overall it does slow down my typing speed, but when I have to use my computer in the middle of the night, in order to avoid further toddler damage, I'm not too concerned about my WPM (words/min.).

NO WAY! (APRIL FOOLS)

I was told there was only a 1 in 200% chance that this could happen with a tubal ligation, not to mention the additional birth control that a child in the bed provides. Honestly, I can not believe this is happening to us...not again.

They won't even be a year apart.

Okay, I better change my attitude, because I'd feel really badly if something were to happen.

But seriously, we do have a giant target hovering above us!

The "Done Button"

Our little Luke is a pad foot, meaning, he sneaks up on you and you don't typically hear him coming. When I was still pregnant, I had hopped in the shower to get ready for an appointment. As I was shampooing, my mind wandering and eyes closed, I felt a little finger pushing my "done button".

I was surprised, needless to say, to find a smiling Luke standing in the shower with me. He was dressed in his footed pajamas, poking my protruding belly button.

These are the silly things I need to remember about pregnancy and having young, curious children.
