No matter how well you put their shoes on there is always a way for them to vanish into thin air

laugh laugh laugh

What about the things that you find in your own shoes when you go to put them on. Nothing like sticking your foot into a shoe with peas in it. My daughter when she was young was told by her father that she could not leave the table until her peas were gone. Still to this day wonder Why MY Shoe????laugh laugh
You cooked them

Things you should know before you start....
Mash Potatoe Flakes don't vacume and you can't wipe them up.....
Washable markers aren't...
Hot wheels really get hot when they are left on the patio in July...
Crayons don't show up on x-rays...
Don't tell a three year old about the poor starving children in Africa because they will share leftovers with the new tropical fish..
You tell ghost stories around the campfire you will be sleeping with a soggy sleeping bag by morning...
When a five year old is talking to Grandpa on the telephone make sure it is not someone's elses Grandpa in some other exotic country...

My brothers used to say some funny stuff when they were younger...when my mom was pregnant with my youngest brother and her water broke she yelled for me to come help her..well my other brother was 4 at the time....ran into the kitchen turns on the water and yells back to my mom " the water isn't broke what are you talking about??" We still laugh about that to this day!!

one night last summer my daughter and I were saying our prayers and she said....Thank you God for the bumpy road...
She was referring to the dirt road going to our house in the country...

My nephew used to call Buubies...circle bebops

neither do iguanas in a neighborhood full of kitties!noway

goldfish do not do well with people food.

when my son was 2 he slept in bed with me so i could close the door and he wouldn't get into anything if he woke up before me.
i would wake up in the morning, and he would have all of my undies and bras around his neck, and lipstick all over his face and the walls.

hardcover books will eventually split from the hardcover and almost flush.

buttons and dimes will go down, and come out, still shiny.
darts do stick in human spines.

laundry baskets make good devices to slide down the stairs, until you get to the third from the bottom.
