You folks didn't really think I'd have enough time this week to blog every day, did you? But in keeping up with this week's theme, I thought I'd include some things I heard or read today that made me laugh.
In motherhood, I've always thought it's the laughter that keeps me moving and the love that keeps me happy.

"This is my High School Musical," Cienna said, as she put on tens of pastel-colored bracelets. "And this is my Zelda Fitzgerald," she said, putting on a headband with a huge flower, pulled to the front.
Larry: "Did you know that Cienna can whip through first grade math?"
Me: "What? I work with her every day. She knows some stuff, but I wouldn't say she's whipping through it."
Larry: "Here. Look what she did in this workbook."
The workbook showed that she answered several pages of math equations correctly.
Me: "Cienna! Wow! How did you know all of those?"
Cienna: "I don't! I found the answers in the back! See!"
Me: "Ah! Yes! Well, Larry, we don't have a child prodigy on our hands, just a great cheat!"
Larry: "Thata girl, Cienna!"
Tyler: "Where Dada go?"
Me: "Dada's at work, Ty."
Tyler: "Dada fart."
Co-worker B-Ev: "...Oh just talking about some girl who..."
Me: "Is she a hoebag?"
B-Ev: "Oh yeah! ...yeah"
Me: "Is she stupid?"
B-Ev: "Oh yeah! She's got checks in both of those columns."
A line in a message from Lindsay: "All dogs might go to heaven, but all sinners do not."
Feel free to share some of the things from your day that made you laugh.

I am both amused and amazed that Cienna knows who Zelda Fitzgerald is. Should I get her Gatsby for Christmas this year? :-)
Does it REALLY surprise you that she knows who Zelda Fitzgerald is? I mean, do you know who her Godmother is?
Also, I want to stress that she's really only familiar with the glamorous side of Zelda. Not the, um, other side. She's not quite ready for all of that yet.
