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

A Year and 10 Days Ago

Dear Friends, Family, Acquaintances, and you lovely random passerby of the Blogosphere-- A year and 10 days ago I set out on a journey to write a blog post a day, for two months straight. I did that successfully, and then decided to extend my challenge to a one-year challenge. My report? I wrote 317 blog posts in a 365-day period. And I think that's pretty rad. A few reflections on this experience: Firstly, I started this blog not just because I love writing, but because I needed help. I was suffering from some intense postpartum anxiety, but I didn't know that's what it was at the time. Every moment of every day I felt like I was under severe stress and pressure, even when there were no evident triggers for such. The feeling in my gut on an almost constant basis felt like the queasy stomach, racing heartbeat, and unsettled mind that greeted me before every math test and job interview I've had growing up. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know how

5 Children's Books You Really Oughta Read

I love reading almost as much as I love writing. And I love writing almost as much as I love reading. Depends on the day. One never truly trumps the other. Gotta have both. These are 5 children's books I've read within the past 2 years that gave me that turn-page feeling, that friends-with-the-characters feeling, that weepy-when-it's-over-feeling. I dare you to read one and I triple-dog-dare you to leave a comment below telling me a story that's given YOU them sort of feelings. #5-- Flotsam  by David Wiesner. If you're not much of a reader (or for your loved ones who can't read at all!) check this one out. It's a whimsical wordless picture book that entertains your curiosities of what truly lies at the bottom of the sea while simultaneously indulges hopes of finding something truly awesome washed up on the shores of a summer destination spot. #4-- Echo  by Pam Muñoz Ryan. With three main characters, three plot lines from WWII era, music liter
