Did the normal “hurry-up-school-starts-in-5-minutes” joke this morning for Ashlyn and the normal “what-are-you-doing-up?-It’s-Saturday” joke for Evan. Ashlyn seemed to fall for it for a nano second. But, this one, the field trip permission slip got all 3 of them. You can print your own here.
I’m hoping they all enjoy their lunch treat of frosted cheerios Doughnut Seeds too.
UPDATE: I gave Drew the packet at lunch today. This is a TRUE account of what happened. Really.
Drew: “I didn’t know doughnuts grew on leaves. Hmmm….we should go outside and plant them, it’s a little rainy today.”
Me: “Yeah, maybe.” (smiling)
Drew: “Let me take a look at them. Oh, they look like cereal…funny.”
Me: “Why don’t you just eat them. It says they are fun to eat.”
Drew: “No, I want to plant them.”
Me: “Honey, they are cereal. It’s an April Fool’s joke. Doughnuts don’t grow on trees!”
Drew: (throws the packet at me and yells) “I DON’T LIKE JOKES. I DON’T EVEN LIKE YOU!”
Me: (having a hard time controlling laughter. Lydia, bending down scooping up every frosted cheerio and stuffing them in her mouth)
Drew: “I was so happy about it, and you lied to me!”
Me: (thinking I totally wished I had videotaped this whole conversation and going to get the phone to call this little man’s father, still laughing)
Drew: (growl, while Lydia still eats every last frosted Cheerio)
Hmmm….what else can I do today?
Ha ha! I love it!!!
My friend and her children are coming for supper so we are having shepherd’s pie, but I am cooking it in cupcake liners and using the potatoes as “frosting on the top”. We are going to tell the kids that we are having cupcakes for supper.
Joy
Sunflower saw this and immediately wanted some cheerios! Donut seeds, hilarious!
I am totally cracking up at your “Drew Update”. Seriously, I was laughing so hard that the kids made me read it out loud! Funny stuff!
I printed out the permission slips for my 3rd graders to take home to their parents. They do have a real permission slip for an upcoming field trip going home today that the parents are expecting so I hope the kids can fool some of the parents.
Cruel and unusual punishment! Hysterical!
oh the ‘good medicine’ of laughter!!! …this just CRACKS. ME. UP!!!!! LOL!
mean mom! ;)
