Double meanings

Veronica commented tonight that she grazed her foot today.

Cameron pipes up: "Veronica's foot ate some grass?!? Hahahahaha!"

Don't get it? You know, cows graze? Sheesh, I don't know where he gets this stuff from...

That winning feeling

Driving the kids to school this morning, a chant starts in the back seat. "We're winning, we're winning..." They are looking at all the cars out the back window.

"No we're not," I correct them, "Look at all the cars in front of us."

Cameron pipes up, "Yeah, but we're beating all the cars behind us!"

With kids, the glass is never half-empty...

Safe for people, dangerous for ants

I asked Cameron to fetch me some sissors, and when he returned with them he was doing the right thing and pointing the sharp end at the ground.

"Well done - good you pointed them at the ground," I commended.

He replied, "And all the ants said 'Aaaaaaaargh!'"

Venomous oven cleaner

Mum is cleaning out the oven, and warns Cameron to stay away, as the cleaning stuff is poisonous.

Hmmm, poison... His curiousity is aroused:

"Does it come from snakes?"

Ouch!

Today I took the kids to McDonalds for lunch. On the way in, Veronica decided to give Renee a piggy-back ride. She tripped. She fell. She took the weight of the fall (and Renee, who was still on her back) on her face.

Not happy.

Cut eyebrow, fat lip, busted chin. She had 3 loose teeth, but the fall didn't knock any of them out.

Anyway, aside from a few cuts and bruises, no serious harm done. So now it's time to have some fun.

Hey Veronica, want to go and have some McCarpark for lunch?
