    Posted in Kiddoisms

    I was talking with my friend, Bobbi today, and she said that my post about Kiddo's salsa garden really made her laugh.  That made me think of another time he came out with a really good one.   My son is a plethera of comedic on-liners.

    Ok, so one night we were sitting at the table eating dinner, talking about what had gone on during our day (no, not with our mouths full....wait a minute.....uh, yes, they probably were).  Bean was talking about something that was of interest to her and in a nice, soft, quiet manner, when all of a sudden she started raising her voice and was getting very annoyed.  Kiddo, without missing a beat looks up at her and blurts out.....................................................

    "SOMEONE'S HAVING MOOD SWINGS!"

    Kids............you gotta love em'!

    Blessings~

    Where Does YOUR Salsa Grow?

    Posted in Kiddoisms

    Last month, Kiddo got a salsa garden for his birthday.  It came with all you need to get started from the tray to the soil to the six packs of cilantro, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, parsley, and cheyenne pepper seeds.  It had everything but the water, but not to worry.....we have a well! 

    Kiddo started out by filling each cell of the tray with potting soil.



     Bean then helped Kiddo plant the seeds.  Apparently this job proved to be a little more difficult than they had anticipated so they had to get some help from.........................................

    SUPER KITTY!!

    Each day since Kiddo planted his garden a few weeks ago, he has written down any changes in the seedlings development, how many of each kind have sprouted, and when they have been watered.  

    DH took the tray from the window and called Kiddo into the kitchen.  "Look at your garden and tell me what you see?" said DH. 

    "I see jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro, but no cheyenne peppers or parsley.  Hey, where's the salsa?" said Kiddo. 

    "What do you mean, where's the salsa?" DH replied. 

    Kiddo said, "I don't see any salsa!" 

    Trying to hold back the uncontrollable laughter, DH said, "Kiddo, salsa itself doesn't grow in the garden.  You first have to grow all these vegetables, then chop them up, add seasonings and then blend them together.  That's salsa.  Were you looking for little jars of salsa growing in this tray?" 

    With a smirk on his face, Kiddo replied, "Ummm....Maybe!"

    Blessings~

    I Am Sorry............................I Had To Laugh!!

    Posted in Kiddoisms

    ~I am sorry that I have not been able to post for the past few days.  We have had problems due to our internet cables and not because of our computer like we thought, but I think we have it all figured out and we should be good to go (hopefully) by Monday or Tuesday.  In the mean time, I have to use DH's lap-top and get on when the service is working.  So, please bear with me and I will post and visit my friends when possible~ 

    And now......on to my post!

    Kiddo recently celebrated his 14th birthday.  My friend Biscuit and her daughters, Sunshine and Wild Flower, gave him a little hand-held game called 20 Questions and it is REALLY cool!!!!  You think of an object, and it asks you 20 questions which you answer with, YES, NO, or SOMETIMES, and by the responses you give, it guesses what your object is.  I have tried this about 10 times and it has only missed once, and that is because I answered one of the questions wrong.   Next time, I will answer YES when it asks if my object (a match) burns! 

    Well, the other day, Kiddo picked it up for the first time and gave it a try.  He stood there, answered all the questions, and then said............

    "DARN!!  I don't know how it knew my answer.  I whispered really softly so it wouldn't hear what I was saying!"

    My response was....what else....R O F L O L.   What else could I do?

    Blessings~
    Laura
