Friday Funnies

First of all, I must have done a pretty good job on Bryce's "Three Things" because he hasn't refuted anything (yet). I think his biggest objections are/will be to the "movies" section. At first I had "Goonies" and when he looked over my shoulder he harumphed and said, "What? Goonies?" so I quickly changed my answer. Sheesh, I don't know.

Well anyway, moving on. This morning Mary Rachel said, "Mom, I know you don't want me to talk about it, but I did dump Jalen. Do you know what 'dump' means, Mama? It means you used to have boyfriend and then you broke up with him."

And last night, very thoughtfully: "Mom, when you were a kid did you ever think of a really evil plot that you really wished would've worked out?"

Yesterday after school Tyce mowed the front yard. After he was done he opened the bag of lawn clippings and saw something moving inside. He dumped some of the contents on the driveway to see better, and guess what . . . there was a baby mouse in there. He and the neighbor boy ran over to tell me. Then they figured that if there were one baby, there might be others . . . so Tyce took the bag into the desert across the street to look. All together he found 11 mice in the lawn mower bag. He let them go in the desert. Isn't that disgusting? He didn't mow them up off the grass--we think a mom decided to have her babies in the bag. I guess that doesn't qualify as funny, except for the screams that were heard upon discovering the initial movement amongst the grass clippings.
