This week provided quite a bit of entertainment from James, our 6 year old, as he's learning to read. Upon learning the group of words...'as, has and was', he did NOT respond to learning that 'was' did not sound like 'has' but 'WUZ' by saying..."Oooohhh...like...
WAZZUP DUDE!!!"
Ahh, boys...gotta love them lil dudes! ;)
But seriously, whatever helps him remember and learn that tricky lil bugger wuz...I mean was.
The real kicker, and one that goes down in the annals of family history, came the next day when we were visiting my parents. Grandma was listening to him read his words, including a whole lot of new words he just started reading that day. As he came across the word "Hal" my mom explained that it's a man's name. To which my darling innocent child did NOT then reply with....
"Ya...like, What the Hal is going on here!!!!!!"
My mom did NOT almost pee her pants laughing so hard! As did my dad when she told him what happened. She also did/does NOT enjoy (to great lengths I might add!) repeating it to everyone she comes across including the ladies at her quilting class, her sisters and brother and the ladies at the church. Oh, and did I mention she's the pastor's wife? And she is NOT still giggling over it.
(and for the record, no, we DON'T say that around here, not even with innocent Hal as a replacement!)
Seriously.
So, what the Hal didn't ya'll do this week???

Too cute. By the way, would love to know what your margins are set at. I need my middle column bigger.
Hal... that is too funny! When my daughter was three we were searching for a new youth Pastor and him and his wife were at our house for dinner, I had rearranged the family room that day but Bei had been outside most of the day playing with the youth group kids. She came in the back door put her hand on her hip looked around the room and said "What the H!## is this??" Meaning the room being changed around! I nearly died! The rom full of adults including the youth Pastor cracked up! I asked her where she heard that because we didn't say stuff like that and she said Grandpa! What can you do?
great not me monday,,, I love the picture
