Kid Stories
Funny Stories from C.B.
Tonight the kids and I went for a walk around the block. On the way back, a little “yapper” dog runs across the street barking up a storm. The owner walks around from the back yard yelling for “Mia” to come home. Mia didn’t listen and continued to bark at us. The owner apologizes and said that Mia got loose from him and wouldn’t return home. My youngest daughter yells back to him while she continues to walk “Maybe you should use a leash next time!” Oh how I love her, even when she can be so inappropriate!
Back to School
Today marked the day that many kids went back to school here in Kansas. My two were no exception. For my oldest daughter, it was her 1st day being a second grader. For my youngest, it was her first day of school ever as she entered the wonderful world of kindergarten.
Watching them sit at their desks with excitement in their eyes brings a sense of brief relief. For with every new day of school bring new challenges and obstacles to overcome. Will they make friends? Will they like their teacher? Will they pick up the curriculum with ease? What in that school lunch? All we can do as parents is sit back and hope that we provided the right tools and upbringing to help them on their little journeys. I feel confident in my little girls that they will enjoy every minute of school. But if not, I am here with a soft shoulder and a warm hug to help them along.
Funny Story
I would like to share a story that I find to be humorous. It involves myself, my youngest daughter and a microwave. I have a habit of leaving the microwave door open when I “cook.” My daughter likes to shut it. The problem is that the microwave is above the stove and my daughter is probably around 3 feet tall. This morning, in my haste, I again left the door open. In her usual fashion, she gets a running jump for the door and slams it shut. She then proceeds to walk away tossing her hair. She looks back at me and says “you’re welcome”. Now if you know my youngest, you would know that she is a bit of a firecracker. I had a hard time not laughing. Of course, I then have to try and explain to her that she cannot slam the door like that because it could break. She of course doesn’t understand. Oh to be a 5 year old again.
