Laugh Out Loud

The kids were full of true "laugh out loud" comments yesterday and I wrote a few down to save for all eternity...

When Hank and I were about to set out for school at 7:45 Maggie ran up to us at the door and said to Hank "See ya later, Alligator!"
To which Hank dutifully replied "After while, Crocodile!"
It was so cute to see Maggie start it up on her own.

Then Hank's teacher told me they had been discussing their upcoming field trip and he was sad that I wasn't able to go with them. She tried to comfort him and explained that some parents work and that it's not always possible to go on every field trip. He quickly told her that "My mom just drinks tall caramel macchiatos all day." Really?!?! THAT's what I do all day, Hank? That sounds heavenly.

As Hank, Ollie, Gil and I approached our driveway walking home after school we saw the mail man  go to drop our mail in the box. Hank yelled "Good job!" but he was wearing headphones and didn't hear it. So when we got closer Hank got his attention a little better with "Hey Mailman! Nice job putting our mail in our mail box!" The mail man laughed and thanked him for the compliment.

And finally at suppertime James and Hank were trying to plan for the best day for James to join him for lunch at school and James asked what Hank's favorite school lunch was. After a little thought Hank yelled "Lettuce & pickles!" Huh? James made sure the lettuce and pickles comes with a hamburger on the side. That boy has a strange appetite, but thank goodness he LOVES the school lunches. Sure makes it easy for me!
