Sunday funnies

There is a fine line between being really nice and getting taken advantage of.. and I think my boys are a little too nice because they are constantly getting walked all over on the play ground. They aren't bold enough to tell people like it is because they are afraid of being rude. So, we were having a conversation about what you do when someone is not being kind-- and how you can approach them without causing a fight. I asked them what they should do if someone cut in front of them in line after they had been patiently waiting their turn.

Luke responded with, "We should tell them to go to the back of the line."

Ben said, "I would not let them butt in front of me unless they were poor or FAT or ugly."

I am pretty sure that is written in the scriptures somewhere, Benny..... we should ALWAYS be kind to those who aren't as good looking as we are. Bless those meek souls who happen to be at the bottom of the gene pool.

Aaron was teaching a simple lesson about the tower of Babel and asking the kids why it wasn't wise to try to build a tower to heaven. They seemed to know all the right answers until Aaron asked, "What do we need to do in order to go to heaven."

Luke, rather nonchalantly said, "All I need to do is DIE."

Totally true... until he turns 8, that is.

I love Ben's attitude! All of those poor, fat, and ugly people out there have at least one friend! And Luke cracks me up too--sometimes they can be so right without even knowing it! We miss you guys!

I love your boys. It's been fun to play catch up on your blog I've been missing the past few weeks. I know they must be betrothed a million times over but keep my gals in the running for your boys would ya?

Loved the Mormon ladies gone wild and the hangover the next day. So made me feel good about myself. Thanks for sharing.

So I guess if I tried to cut in line in front of Ben, he would just let me.

Isn't it so funny the things our kids pick up on?
I love their conversations. I really wish I was better at remembering all the funny thing said at my house.
