Cranial Hiccups

Every once in a while and totally unintentionally my brain spews out a good idea.

Echoes From Our House Last Night

January 26, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 16 Comments

Debbie-Angel

Cookie’s recitation of the second Article of Faith: “We believe that men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam’s ranch dressing.” (It’s supposed to be transgression).

While playing musical chairs….
Brownie: “Semisweet always wins because she uses her big hips to boot everyone off the chair.”
Me: “She’s just using the gifts she’s been given.”
Brownie: “Yeah, from her mother!” runs away giggling

While lying on the bed…
Fudge: Mom, why is your middle name dot?
Me: My middle’s name is not dot. Where did you get that from?
Fudge: Yes it is! Montse dot {our last name}.
Me: laughing No my full first name is Montserrat but when you roll the r’s it sounds like dot. People call me Montse as a nickname just like Pam is short for Pamela or Kim is short for Kimberly.
Fudge: Oh. I’m glad you’re not named dot. That would be a weird name.
Me: thinking “And Montserrat isn’t?”

    So cute…I love it when my kiddos do stuff like that!
    We have a “say what” wall specifically for the funny things that are said around here. It’s just a white poster board taped to a wall, and we all write on it.

    The Ranch Dressing thing cracks me up. …totally not really related, but my daughter, who is 5 now, still calls Ranch dressing Ranch Up. You know, ketchup, syrup, ranchup.

    And along the lines of mis-quoted things, I was all upset on Sunday because someone taught my 2 year old, Asher, that the words to “Ring Around the Rosie” are “Ashes, Ashes we all fall down” isntead of “Asher, Asher…” That was one I was happy to never correct!

    Adam’s Ranch Dressing. That’s great! 🙂 Kids say things like that and they don’t even have the slightest idea that it’s not the coreect word. 🙂
