The summer is over and I suspect we are all getting back at it!  We have been trying to get back to homeschooling for the last several weeks, but being grossly pregnant and uncomfortable I just had no desire to really put in any effort.  Now that the little man has arrived I feel much more pull to get it started.

This was a joke sent to me from a friend, and I thought I would share it here, as it reminded me very much of all 3 of our children!

GOOD QUESTION

A stranger was seated next to a 8-year old girl on the airplane when the

stranger turned to her and said, ‘Let’s talk, I’ve heard that flights go

quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said
to the stranger, ‘What would you like to talk about?’

‘Oh, I don’t know,’ said the stranger ‘How about nuclearpower?and he
smiles.

‘OK,’ she said. ‘That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you
a question first.

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass – Yet a deer
excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse

produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?’

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence,
thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea.’

To which the little girl replies, ‘Do you really feel qualified to
discuss nuclear power when you don’t know shit?

It made me laugh anyways!

A quick anecdotal story about Savanna as told to me by my Mom.

The girls were in thecar with my Mom on Wednesday, coming home after Constantine was born.   My Mom had an old Country CD playing, the song was called “diggin’ up bones” by Randy Travis.

Anyways, the song ends and my 4 year old asks “What did they mean, digging up bones Mamma?”  Before my Mom could respond Savanna blandly answers, “They’re talking about memories Cyndel, old memories.”   My Mom was amazed that my 6 year old understood enough of the lyrics and the country twang to get that from the song!
