Daily Funnies

I'm going to start a new thing here on the ole blog, Daily Funnies, where I write down all the hilarious things overheard around here on a daily basis. So here's a few from these last couple weeks...

The kids and I were discussing Remembrance Day, and the variations in how the US and Canada celebrates it -- for example, in the US its called Veterans Day and they don't do the poppy thing.

Gunnar: "That's funny how the US calls it Veterans Day and we call it Novembrance Day. Wait. Novembrance?"
Me: "Novembrance Day!! I like that, Gunnar! Its a new national holiday! Hahahaha! Wait til I tell everyone this..."
Gunnar: "Noooooo...!"

We're in the vehicle, driving home from hockey, and the discussion was about scary movies, and how we couldn't believe Lena watched Stephen King's Rose Red and wasn't afraid (probably because everything went right over her head).

Me: "Wow Lena, I can't believe what a brave girl you are!"
Ardan: "I am too! I watched it!"
Me and Gunnar: "You're a brave girl? Bwaahahahaha!"
Ardan: "Noooooo....!"
Gunnar: "Ardan is a girl, Ardan is a girl..."
Me: "Gunnar, enough."
Ardan: "Yeah!"
Gunnar: *whispering* "Girl..."
Me: "Gunnar!"

Its suppertime, we're all sitting around the table, and Tyler gets up to get something to drink. Because Ryder is now one, I've started weaning him off formula, mixing it half-and-half with homo milk. We haven't had homo milk in the house since Lena was a baby, I won't let the kids drink it because its so fattening, not to mention gross! Anyway, Tyler was ecstatic to see it in the fridge (that man would drink buttermilk if I let him).

Tyler: "Yesssss! Homo milk! And its all for me! *evil laugh* Since I'm..."
Ardan and Gunnar: "A homo? Hahahahaha!! (hysterical laughter, you know how boys are) Daddy is a homo, Daddy is a homo...!"
Me: "Okay, that's enough of THAT, boys! There is nothing wrong with being a homo, uh, I mean gay, I mean homosexual, uh..."
Ardan: "Mom said homo, Mom said homo..."
Me: "Arrrghhhhh!!"
