APRIL FOOLS FOLLOW-UP -A 4 Year Old's View

I had the sweet job

of babysitting for CJK the last night

of March.

He slept over while Mom & Dad

went out of town.

Nope-doesn't bother him at all to sleep in a 

"girly bed".  lol

Guess what!!!!????

The next morning was 

APRIL 1st-APRIL FOOL'S DAY

Actual conversation:

Nana- Come on CJK. Let's play a trick on Papa.

CJK:  OK- What kind of trick?

Nana: Come on- I'll show you.

We go downstairs to the little kitchenette

where Papa prepares his special foods

that he has eaten since he got cancer.

CJK:  What are we gonna do?

Nana:  We are going to tape down the SPRAYER on the kitchen faucet.That way when Papa turns the faucet on he will get sprayed. 

(someone else's image using rubber bands)

I proceeded to show him how that worked

 by turning just a tiny bit of water on.

Even that little bit of water soaked the floor.

He was overjoyed.  

This was going to be the

BESTEST APRIL FOOL'S JOKE EVER!

Nana:  CJK-Don't say a word to Papa.  It's a secret. OK?

CJK:  I know, Nana!!!  I won't tell him cuz it's a secret, right?

Nana:  Right!

We head back upstairs where 

Papa is watching the news.

I sit down.

CJK stands DIRECTLY in front of Papa,

grinning like a Irish elf.

Then opens his mouth and laughs.

Papa:  What are you laughing about?

          CJK:  Nothing.

(10 second pause- as CJK continues to stare and grin.)

Papa:  What's so funny?

CJK: Nothing. Hey, Papa-why don't you go downstairs and get sprayed?!!!

Papa gives me the hairy eyeball.

Papa: Thank you, CJK!!!

I give CJK the "you little traitor" eyeball!

Should I tell you that even being 

forewarned he got sprayed a bit

before it 'hit him'?

Well, at least I didn't have such a 

big 'clean up' this year.

Here's the funny thing.

I have done this every year since we

have been married---like 40 years.

He NEVER remembers!

And- he always BRAGS that--

"She got me AGAIN"...

like that is something to brag about--

CJK is NOT invited back for 

NEXT APRIL FOOL'S DAY.

He can play the trick at his own house!

The Little Blabbermouth!

I'll be back later in the day-
I am off to the Va this morning for the 6am shift.
Love those guys.
Love y'all, too.
Have a GREAT Tuesday!

FUN ON FRIDAY WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY, CJK?

Leaving my regularly scheduled

Finish It Up Friday

I bring you

FUN ON FRIDAY!

This is short and sweet

and I hope that I don't offend anyone!

The words were said in pure innocence.

This is TOO FUNNY to keep to myself.

My son and sweet daughter-in-law

had to go out of town for a day or two.

So, I picked CJK up from daycare

and he spent last night with me.

He is a funny little man.

Droll, I would say.

For some unknown reason he took a

BUNGEE CORD 

to school.  

You remember what they are, right?

Stretchy cord- hooks on the ends---

He got in the car, picked up his

Woody character doll and said:

Look, Nana!!!

I have 

MY WOODY AND A HOOKER!

You just can't make these things up, folks!

Good thing I had gone to the bathroom

before I left home..

that's all I can say.

Here he is showing off his treasures.

He was VERY INTERESTED in 

THE BIG STEM on the pumpkin.

Hey, CJK...

Look this way and smile, will you?

Well, you got the half smile down--

now can you look up at me?

Hmmm...that's as good as it gets---

Lost the smile between looking down and up somehow.

So- there you have it-

there's your laugh for the day.

Oh---Wait~there is

ONE MORE LAUGH...

MyHero is having a colonoscopy today.

Just thought I would share that with 

all of you.

I won't be laughing next week

because I have one scheduled, too.

Getting old is 

SO MUCH FUN!

I am running kids,

MyHero, drugs, and errands today.

I'll check in when I can.

Tomorrow I have something

pretty special to share with you!
