Did you know?

Peeling wallpaper to a three year old is a lot like a bad sunburn. Once you get it started, it’s almost impossible to stop.

A golf ball is just the right size for playing with in the bathtub. It will sit on the drain, whirl in circles, and make a crazy sound as the water drains around it.

If you pull a tooth, you just put a seed in the hole and another one will grow.

If you boil an egg long enough, it will peel itself. You may need goggles and a pair of gloves to fight the flying shells that shoot out of the pan and across the kitchen, but you certainly won’t have to peel…manually.

Inviting a child to tell you the truth about anything is taken quite literally by a five year old.

If you drink your milk, you’ll grow some more bones.

It really is possible to brush your teeth and eat a vitamin at the same time.

It gives a mother an “Aww how sweet” kind of feeling to see her son trying on his daddy’s boots. It gives her an altogether different kind of feeling to walk in and see him wearing hers.

“Sometimes in the daytime, the moon is up, but when it’s not, it’s hiding behind the sun.”

Basketball is a great way to learn to count by two’s.

The best way to teach a big brother to quit picking on a little brother is for a mom to close her eyes to that first, firmly-delivered blow to the gut.

A kid is really stubborn when he knows he’ll get what he wants if he simply says, “Please,” but still refuses to speak that one simple word.

We like babies at our house “cause they get big”.

An apple with only two bites taken out of it can lay face down in a fruit bowl for a ridiculously long time before being discovered under a half dozen oranges.

It’s amazing how many things a five-year old can do which are apparently “very annor-ing” to his little brother.

“Cooper was in Momma’s belly and Momma was in Daddy’s belly.”

There are at least 452 different sounds that can come out of a little boy’s mouth when he is pretending to drive a race car.

The three year old can’t seem to recognize a one dollar bill, but his brother can tell him to “pick out a George Washington” and he gets it right every time.

And that’s All in a day’s work!
