Funny Stories

#1- One of the rules of our house is that the kids are not allowed to get in the van when it is in the garage. For obvious reasons, it is too hot! Well, we usually keep gum in there and in the past the girls have just gotten into the van to get a piece. So the rule has been made that they are not allowed in the van. Eliza was the culprit this time. She got in the van, got a piece for herself and one for Adrianna. They both came in the house and said "We have gum".
Well, we are re-establishing some things around here with some new discipline techniques. I am trying to tell them once, then turning around, and then walking away. If they don't obey, they receive a consequence. Since I have already told them they are not to get in the van I spanked both of them. I explained to Adrianna that yes, Eliza got the gum, but that she took it. She could have said no and told Eliza that they were not supposed to be in there.

We were then on our way to run an errand and the story of Adam and Eve came to mind. I reviewed the story with the girls and Adrianna did a really good job of remembering it. I pointed out that Eliza was like Eve because she took the gum and that Adrianna was like Adam because she accepted it from Eve.
Adrianna then pipes up from the backseat "But I wanted to be Eve!"!!!!!
Then she asked me if she could be Eve for Halloween. I'm pretty sure there is a rule about walking around in the nude..:)

#2- During our family time this past weekend we were serving pop for dinner. I asked Adrianna if she wanted Diet Sprite. She looked at me with a funny grin and said "I don't like that kind, it makes my butt fizz." I don't think she has ever had sprite but apparently it makes fizzy butts!

#3- When we were at the beach there was a water spicket right by our picnic table. Eliza went over there and got under the water. Pretty soon we hear " I got my booty wet".
Don't really know where she heard that one....
