We went to Pacolet, Lake Lenier , and a neighbors bbq party in our neighborhood...
*why did the chicken cross the road? to get to the other side.
*why did the alligator cross I26? Don't know, he never made it, but it was the first time I'd ever seen a squished alligator in SC.
*when suntan lotion says it's for kids, it really is. Johnny and I got burnt patches everywhere, but the kids are perfectly tan.
*Ada can't swim, even if SHE thinks she can. Aunt Laura asked her if she needed her arm floats. "no" was her reply as she leapt in.
*My husband can stick his foot in his mouth in any city. He told me I was an 80 year old woman on the inside.
*Ada: mom, can we leave? ME: not until your dad gives us the ok. Ada: Where is the ok? Can I go get it for him?
*ME: go say goodbye and hug your cousins. Ada: See you later, loser. (high five)
*Can't keep a mother away from her only son. they must have one on one time. even if the step brother and cousins are on their way...
*Don't let kids test the water with their feet when you've told them you're not going swimming yet. Inevitably one will "fall in"... and of course it will happen when the baby is asleep and no one can stop the kids running.
* Mother in law: Johnny, why are you wearing your glasses in the water? Johnny: because I can't see without my glasses mom. MIL: even in the water?
*Doesn't matter what snacks you bring on a trip, they won't be good compared to ANYTHING else.
*an 8 year old can still be afraid of a man eating jellyfish coming up on shore and dragging her in.
* I can still hear my kids complaining over the pleasant breeze of a perfect beach day.
*Don't bring healthy food to a BBQ. they won't eat it.
*Do bring more dessert to a BBQ. need more.
*Why do the # of baths multiply when you aren't doing anything... oh yah, sweat.
And that's what I learned over my memorial. I'm sure there are other things, but my mama brain took it away.
