On the way to VBS at church, Keely told a knock-knock joke:
Keely: Knock-Knock
Me: Who's there?
Keely: Ken
Me: Ken who?
Keely: Ken I come in?

Kai wanted in on the jokes so he said:
Kai: KJ, knock-knock
Keely: Who's there?
Kai: Kai
Keely: Kai who?
Kai: It's Kai.

Chris and I started laughing and Keely said, "That didn't make any sense, Kai. That's not funny."

Kai said: KJ, knock-knock
Keely: Who's there?
Kai: Kai
Keely: Kai who?
Kai: Kai on a horse.

We busted out laughing again and Keely said, "I don't understand why you are laughing? That wasn't funny and I'm not laughing, so why are you laughing?"

Ooooh, how I forgot about kid knock-knock jokes...

This afternoon, Kai came to me with a brush and asked, "Mommy? Will you brush my hair?" I brushed a part on his left side and he said, "I want to go look at it in the mirror (the full length mirror in his grandmother's room)." He came back downstairs and said, "Mommy, this hair is boring. Will you brush the top hair up and the sides down?" I wish I would've taken a picture of his wavy doo!

The kids needed help with the Wii so I went downstairs to see what was wrong. They wanted to play Wii Sing It and the error message said something about hooking up the microphones. I called Chris and he told me how to fix the error for the kids (just by plugging in the 2 mics into the dongle on the back of the Wii box.) I got off the phone and Keely said, "Mommy? Who were you talking so politely to?" I smiled and said, "That was Daddy." She said, "I've never heard you talk to so politely to him... I didn't know that was Daddy!"

Late last night, my stomach was growling. Keely and Kai were in the bed with me and I said, "I'm hungry." Kai said, "I have super powers that will make you not want to eat." He made this 'magical' noise and flapped his hand over my stomach. I was still hungry but I didn't say anything to him.

The kids and I were driving to a water fountain to play in today and it was also Keely's last day of school. She had her school yearbook in the car because I had picked her up from school to head to Fairfax. Our neighbor, Wendy, and her son, Kaden, were in the car with us. Keely was looking at her yearbook and said, "Mommy, this picture looks like you when you were a kid, see?" I told her I was driving and that I would look at it later. Not giving up on showing SOMEBODY, she asked Wendy to look at it. Wendy said, "I didn't know your mom then so I don't know if that looks like her as a child." Keely said, "Well, she looked like THAT!" and she pointed to the picture in her book.

Kai has been saying to Keegan, "Keegan, say 'cool'." Keegan says cool and Kai yells, "Stop it copying me!"

While eating lunch with his brother, Keegan, Kai looked at me and said, "Listen to this, Mommy..." And in a sing-songy voice, Kai says, "Bird, don't poop on Mommy's car. Bee, don't bother us. Fly, go away." I said, "What a great song!"

We have been to an 80th birthday celebration today in Mebane, NC for a member of Chris' side of the family (black.) Close to the end of the party, a few guys showed up to take down the tents. There were 2 black guys included, one had dreads and the other had corn rows with beads. Within earshot of the 2 guys, Keely (practically yelling) says, "Who invited the gangsters to the party?"

Last night, I went out to eat with a few friends from Indiana who came out to VA for a few days. Keely had asked Chris where I was. Chris said, "She went out to dinner with some college friends." Keely said, "I thought they were all dead."

I'm not sure about any other moms, but all 3 of my kids love eating shredded cheese from a cup. "Cheese" and "Peese" are 2 words that Keegan can say very well.

Kai asked me this morning, "Mommy? I am thirsty. Can I have a drink?" I said yes and he said, "I don't want juice. Juice make me sick. Can I have sowa (soda)? Sowa don't make me sick."
