A Conversation Via Text

Shanna: Can I get Great-Grandmother's fudge recipe? I'm feeling brave today.

Me: We be school today. Sorry I just saw this.


Me: I just noticed I said "we be school today" yes, I'm a homeschooling hillbilly.

Shanna: Hahaha I got the gist of your message.
             I speak yo language.

Me: I'm out running errands I'll email you the recipe when I get home.
        If you are still feeling brave :)
       

Shanna: I got Shayla some earmuffs at Target. Should I get a pair for her
             companion too? I don't want anyone feeling left out of having
              ear muffs.
             Miffed over muffs, if you will.


I needed a good laugh and that just hit the spot.

Shayla Chimes In

Last night Shayla had this to add to our homework humor:

Shayla: "There are 10 kinds of people in the world...
              Those who understand binary code and those who don't"

Then she explained it to me so I could laugh along with everyone else.

Homework Humor

The boys had some of my kind of jokes last night during study time...

Shane: "What did the math book say?"
            "I've got problems"

Sam: "One atom turned to another and said, 'Oh no! I've lost an electron!'"
         "The Second atom says, 'Are you sure?'"
           "The first atom says, 'I'm positive!'"

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Fireside

There was a Stake Youth Fireside tonight so I was transporting our three Youth to the church for it. On the way, Shayla said, "Oh Mom, we have some jokes for you."
Sam jumped in with: "Where do you buy a cow?"
Me: "Hmmm...I don't know."
"A 'cattle'log"
(Hee, hee)

Then Shayla had one: "Knock, knock"
"Who's there?"
"Boo."
"Boo Who?"
"You don't have to cry"
(Ahhhh--a classic--love it!)

Then back to Sam: "Did you hear the joke about the bed?"
"It hasn't been made yet."

I was laughing pretty good by then but suddenly Seth found that one funny and started to giggle and soon we were all laughing heartily.

Shayla wrapped it up with: "Why did the golfer bring extra pants."
"In case he got a 'hole in one'."

Yeah, yeah--I know "Mom Jokes". But it was a lot of fun laughing together and I was touched that they would keep an eye out for corny jokes because they know I enjoy them.

Q. What kind of shoes do frogs wear?
A. Open Toad

This is what the kids call a "Mom Joke"--I love corny jokes and puns--and inflict them on my family every chance I get. If I can stop laughing long enough to get it out. I know, it's bad manners to laugh at your own jokes but technically they aren't my own--I get them from the newspaper or Reader's Digest or popsicle sticks. Perfect sources for sophisticated humor.
