KJ: “Bye Troy & Man!” {comments to Dusty – “I don’t know that other guys name.”}

Kiana: {in reference to her next orthodontist appt. when she got her braces off} “Is the first Tuesday in April a Monday?”

{Mom: “huh?”}
{Kiana: giggles…”At least, I used the word DAY and that was right”}

Starlee: “My hair is going to get dry from washing it/blowing it out so much…”
{Jane: Yeah, that’s a bad problem to have SO MANY dates…)

KJ: “Myla! Don’t be mean to me…remember I’m your liddle brother!”

Saturday night with Dad

April 1, 2008

{posted by Dusty}
KJ spent the night with Dad at the office on Saturday night. He was shooting the ball into this little hoop on the back of my door and he said,

“Dad, I’m gonna pass it to you and you make it from back there, ok?”
I said ok son.
KJ passed the ball to me, I threw it up and of course made it :).
KJ imediately turns to me, points and says,
“That’s what I’m talkin’ about dad… That’s what I’m talkin’ about.” 🙂

Then later we are listening to “Low” by Flo Rida (I know… great influencing dad) and I change the words a little and say

the bug caught my Myla

This past October was the first time for the Rhodes family. I never quite knew how I felt about it. I was a fence sitter for 10 years. Does it really help? Will we get the flu that the flu shot is for? We might get another strain anyway… It will be torture for the kids as old as they are to get the shot…lots of bribing on Mama’s part to convince them it won’t hurt, although I know it will..etc.etc.

But, we did it this year. It was 7 flu shots total. 6 humans,
and Sela had to get poked twice because of her age.

this is what the needle appeared like to my kids…

So KJ has been on this love of Dad’s real life anecdotes lately and wants stories about everything. This mornng was no different and he wanted a story about Rattlesnakes. In the middle of the story I was explaining how Rattlesnakes coil up and shake their tail with rattles to warn you not to come any closer. KJ said something about HIS rattles to which I promptly teased, “You have rattles on your tail KJ?” KJ was too smart for that and said, “Dad, all humans have butts and weiners.” I said (in the midst of Mom, Kiana and Myla laughing), Mom, Kiana and Myla don’t have weiners KJ.” To which he immediately answered… “I mean REAL humans.”
