Das Not Funny! Friday: I Love You, but Wrap It Up

Friday already? Wow, has this week ever flown by! Tomorrow we will celebrate Lucas and Ashlee's THIRD birthday. When did they quit being toddlers? Sigh. My babies are becoming kids. Naturally, the older they become the funnier they get. So, without further ado, I bring you this week's Das Not Funny! Friday. Don't know what this blogfest is all about? Click here for details.

----------

One night this week we were finishing up dinner. Lucas and Ashlee had already been excused and had retired to the basement. That left, at the dinner table, me, Luke, Elizabeth, Maw (my grandmother) and Baby Girl. Elizabeth had a pretty bad day that day and was telling me she was sorry and that she loved me. Then, the following comments spilled forth from her (almost) 5 year old lips:

"Daddy. I love you, even when you don't look in the mirror and shave your face.

And Mommy, I love you. Even when you don't take a shower.

And Maw, I love you. Even though your old.

And Baby Girl, I love you. Even though your black."

During our Memorial Day trip to the lake, Lucas and I decided it would be fun to ride on the water tube. Everything was going great until, out of nowhere, the tube took a nose dive under the water and a huge wave washed over both of us. It scared the crap out of us both. Luckily Because of God's protection, Lucas remained in the tube and I held on.

Later, we were talking about the ride and I asked him, "Lucas did you like that tube ride?"

His reply? "No. Not one bit. I did not like it one very much bit."

I concur Buddy.

We were driving home from a foster parent get together and Lucas was attempting to recount the story of The Three Little Pigs. He kept getting stuck on, "Once upon a time..." then say a few words, then start over with "Once upon a time." Elizabeth was desperate to tell us about her desire to have frogs at our house, but was trying to wait patiently for Lucas to finish his dissertation on all three types of piggy houses.

Finally, I ask Lucas to wrap it up so someone else could tell a story. He finishes and Elizabeth begins her story,

"Uh, Mom, Dad..."

when Lucas interrupts her and says, "Wrap it up Bizzy!"

Taking the twins shopping for their birthday party supplies was certainly interesting. They acted as though they had never been

1) In public.

2) In a dollar store.

3) In a position of choice.

All three of those things made our outing to the Mighty Dollar a squealfest. Although Lucas maintained his desire for a "whorsey" party, Ashlee was persuaded away from having to purchase "Dorla" plates and cups (which were NOT available at the dollar store) and instead settled on a Dora-esque flower type patterns.

Choosing their cakes was, in fact, supremely interesting. Lucas chose a "Cowboy whoresy" cake and Ashlee loved every one she saw, exclaiming, with each page of the cake decoration book,

"I want fairwees! I wike da pwincess! Ooooo dinosaulers! Wook! Aye-go! (Diego) Yes! Dorla!"

We settled upon "Dorla" because that was her initial request, before we ever entered the grocery store. I'm so glad she's not a conformist.
