Kid Comedians

It's no secret that some of the greatest from-your-gut-belly-laughs are courtesy of kids. They're natural comedians, because they see the world in a way we've forgotten. They're constantly learning, and they're constantly sharing, which makes for some great funnies. Here's a few from my students in recent months:

"I feel bad for anyone named Jehosephat."

"My mom made chinchiladas for dinner."

"When I'm a Dad it's going to be hard, cuz my kids are gonna bug me all the time. I'm just going to go into my office."

"Gas stations have all sorts of things, like awesomeness!"

"Mrs. J, have you ever been dumpster diving behind Harley Davidson? There's all kinds of great stuff back there!"

"I'm not gonna be a comedian. I'm just gonna be a really funny guy the rest of my life."

"Once there was a super-evil-mega-villain man named Spiff."

"Reading ups your social skills."

"Walruses die because they are hunted for their tusks. And pigs die because they are good to eat."

"Chapstick One" (instead of Chapter one)

"Unicken" (instead of Unicorn)

(while listening to a cover the piano guys did) "This is regular music disguised as classical music"

"we played tuggle war and it was kinda painful and fun."

"We're singlers" (instead of "we're single")

"This music makes me feel Italian"

"If I were rich... I would buy a hamster mansion."


(Okay, for some of these, you might of just had to have been there).

That's all folks. I can't take credit for the brilliance of this post, and I'll never be able to create anything as hilarious as what a kid can come up with, so I just had to share.

The Problem with Chick Flicks.

I really, really, really enjoy a select few movies that I willingly watch over and over again. Pride and Prejudice is one of them. You see, Elizabeth's defense of her family, her sense of self respect, her ability to admit that she was wrong and to appreciate Darcy despite all his quirks, and quizzical brow-ness... it's marvelous. My husband doesn't share the sentiment, could you tell? ... and that's okay. There's rare a chick flick I enjoy near as much as I enjoy Pride and Prejudice or A Walk To Remember , and I wanted to explain why. You see, there's more than just a few problems with (many, not all) chick flicks:  (and if you have a chick flick that escapes many of these pitfalls then please oh please leave it's title in the comment section!) The heroine (or suitor) is less than honorable. I have a hard time rooting for a girl to get a gentleman when she's spending her time being scandalously loose with other men ( #thenotebook) . An...

#StudentForLife

I'm kind of becoming my own professor...or at least an academic advisor..for a class I'm making up as I go, for a student body of size one (sometimes two, if Kevin comes along). You see, while my main title and full time position is as a stay at home mom, I'm also a part-time professional (I substitute teach a few days a month) ... but you might not know that I'm also a part time student. But the student part is purely by my own choosing, guys. There will be no final exam, no summer break, no midterm cramming. And, admittedly, no diploma. But I tell you what, it's been a blast, and learning is SO tremendously fun. The subjects I'm studying: The construction of fruit preserves 101. Last month Jeni Pittard with Taste of Home and Stacey with Southern Bite  were my mentors as Kevin and I peeled, diced, pectin-ed, and poured. The results were nothing short of jelly-tastic peach and pear goodness. And we may have quoted National Treasure multiple times d...

What you hear vs. what you say

Have you ever misheard somebody? For the longest time my old seminary teacher thought that the primary song said “shalminnow” instead of “by this shall men know ye are my disciples...” He was convinced that The song was referring to the Jesus fish some people plaster to their bumpers. My brother Austin used to sing “I almost want to be with my own family” instead of “always...” And I had a long debate with my old roommate about Michael Buble’s hit song “Met you yet.” She was convinced he said “I guess it’s half time-in, and the other half luck.” Like time-out time-in in a football game. Do any of those mistaken lyrics make any logical sense to anyone but the mistaken? Of course not. But that’s what makes them hilarious!! I’m particularly guilty of mis-hearing and mis-reading people. Just because  I  speak English with other English speakers doesn’t always mean that we communicate effectively. From this I’ve gathered a few things about talking with people: 1) ask ...
