Friday Funnies: Mostly Josiah Edition
As we were driving to the beach, we passed several cows grazing in a field. A little further down the road, there was a stray cow in a marshy, treed area close to the road, ankle deep in water (do cows even *have* ankles?) with its head bent to the ground eating.... something.
From the back seat we hear Josiah yell, "Hey! I just saw an anteater!"
Um, no dear. While that cow did look a bit different from the rest, I assure you, it's no anteater. ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One Sunday afternoon we hiked down to a beach that was, except for us, completely vacant. It's not the easiest beach to get to and is enclosed by a steep bluff. A short distance from the shore we noticed some sort of head bobbing up and down in the water. We were trying to guess whether it was a seal or an otter when Josiah set us straight, "No! That's a man out there!"
Um, yeah. Just swimming out in the middle of the ocean.

Millie excitedly (and quite loudly) proclaimed to me one day, "MOM! You're GROWING blond HAIR now!"
*sigh* No, that, my dear, would be called gray. Wouldn't that be nice to spontaneously change from light brown to blond hair at this point in life though?
Children have such a way about making us feel good about ourselves, don't they?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overheard on the baby monitor one morning: Baby fussing a little as Josiah walks in the room and in the same sweet, sing-songy voice one would say, "It's okay, baby! It's alright!" he coos to her, "I'm not a robber, Julianna! No! I'm not a robber!"
I'm sure that's what she was thinking when she saw him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the way home from a field trip to a goat farm I was explaining to the children my game plan for our next school year, which includes schooling year-round, except during the couple of months in the summer when our weather is at its nicest. I told them that during those brief two months, we'd check the weather forecast for the week each Sunday. If 4 out of 5 weekdays call for rain, we're going to do school that week.
I guess Josiah was not pleased with my plan. I hadn't even finished speaking when I heard him loudly declare from the back seat, "THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY!"
Okay. Maybe introducing a 4 y/o to the protesting process was not such a good idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(this one from Alek)
Alek, unfamiliar with Josiah's MP3 player (more like the mp3 player *assigned* to Josiah when we hand them all out on long road trips), asked Josiah how to turn it off. Josiah replied, "I just leave it on for a long time and it just turns off by itself or I throw it on the ground *really* hard and it turns off."
*sigh* Is it any wonder things don't last around here?
