We attended a fire safety workshop and learned that in case of a fire, our family should have a rendezvous point away from the house.  We decided to do some practice fire drills to teach our kids that in case of fire, we should quickly exit the house, and then meet up at the mailbox.  We did several fire drills, exiting the house from various points. Then I privately asked my husband if we could do one more where I did it the wrong way.  He agreed, so we did one more.

This time, my husband and sons went to the mailbox quickly, but before I left the house, I stopped to pick out movies that I didn’t want to get burned up in “the fire."  When I finally arrived at our rendezvous point, I showed them all the movies I rescued.

My husband said to the boys, “What did Mommy do wrong?” 

Our 6-yr-old looked at the collection of movies I had and said, “Mommy forgot to grab ‘The Office’ videos.”

I asked a group of elementary students what their favorite season is.  One student excitedly raised his hand.  When I called on him, he said, "My favorite season is Garlic Powder."

Our family adopted a beautiful 10-month old daughter from China.  When our daughter was about 7 years old, we sat down to dinner, which included potato salad I had made from my mom's recipe.  It became obvious during the meal that our daughter loved it.  After getting her second helping, she happily exclaimed, "I'm so glad you adopted me, otherwise I would have never known about potato salad."

 My daughter came home with two bottles that had been given to her. She held the first one up and said, "This one is Beauty Water .. whatever that is." She pulled the second one out of a small thin box, put it up to her nose and said, "This one is perfume. It smells like an old person. It's supposed to last 36 months. Do you want them?"

Much to my dismay, my son's sense of humor is just as corny as his dad’s. We saw a Christmas tree with 3 acorns on it, and my son said, “Look, Mommy! Here’s an Acorn, a B-corn and a C-corn.”

I was watching GREASE when my son came up and said, "What in the world is that singing?"

I said, "It is a movie called 'Grease'."

He said, "Lord help me, I need some grease so I can put it in my ears!"
