I swear I don't know where they learned it from
My kids. They all think they're comedians.
Last week at the movie theatre, Brent requests and pays for his ticket. He notices that the ticket price includes 46 cents sales tax and 86 cents "Amusement Tax". Handing the ticket back to the counter person, he points to the tax and asks "What is this?""It's the Amusement Tax", the clerk responds helpfully.
Brent thinks about this for a moment. "What if I don't find the movie amusing?"
Brent's mom drags him away from the counter...
My daughter and I were returning from grocery shopping and as we got close to the house we noticed that there were dozens of little birds all over our front lawn and driveway."Where did those birds come from?" I wondered.
Alli: "Well you see mom, when a mommy bird loves a daddy bird..."
And finally Kirk. (Language warning.)At the dinner table, Brent complained that a classmate was dressing inappropriately for school.
"You should have seen her mom, she looked like a prostitute."
"Brent!", I chastised. "Please do not use that word!"
"Yeah Brent," Kirk deadpanned. "Say "whore" like everyone else."
Sigh. This is my punishment for smarting off to my mom when I was 16, right?

Ha! Thanks for sharing this, it made me laugh.
I can almost remember when my mind was that sharp! Lol!
Thanks for the laugh!!! :-D
haha!
LOL! This is great, Anita! It reminds me of a couple of funnies in my own family...
My niece was very frustrated at not being able to get money out of the ATM with her card. She said disgustedly, "It just keeps saying, 'No funds available... No funds available!'" "Well... if they're never going to put money in the machine why do they give us these cards???!"
When we crawled up off the floor from laughing so hard, we kindly explained that "no funds available" referred to HER ACCOUNT, not the machine...
And then my daughter, Amy. When she got her first driver's permit they asked her the routine question, "Do you want to be an organ donor?"
Without hesitation she said, "No."
I said, Amy... why don't you want to be an organ donor??? You won't have any use for them after you die anyway... (I was about to continue with how wonderful of a gift it is for others...)
Amy piped up surprised, "OHHHHH, AFTER I die! Okay then. I'll be an organ donor."
We still tease her about this once in a while...
Well, I hope I gave you a smile back! ;)
Love you! Marilee
Oh, good grief! Too funny! Look at it this way - they are observant listeners! *wink*
Oh that is too funny! I can hardly wait until mine are just a bit older. I have a lot of payback for my youth coming up. And my youngest DD at the tender age of 6 is alreay exactly like her Daddy.
What is this? Tickle Me Tuesday?
LOL
You and Marilee have no idea how much I needed these laughs!
I LOVE it that your kids have great senses of humor!
They are all quick witted and that makes for some fun, happy times.
Our family has many laughs together , and I wouldn't want it to be any other way.
Yeap, there is your payback right there.
"You wait til you have kids of your own!"
This is my mother's encouragement for me to have kids of my own, probably.
This was funny. =D
