On Monday, Vivian and William went on a joke telling spree. Thankfully they seem to have slightly more talent in this department than their mother.
After ten minutes of variations on the chicken-crossing-the-road joke, Vivian freestyled.
VIVIAN: Why did the mommy cross the road?
ME: 
VIVIAN: Close. Because she wanted to hug her children.
ME: You’re right. That was really close to my answer.
And once again I return my sarcasm sword to my scabbard.

For more sass, feel free to like my Ironic Mom Facebook Page. Or, if you don’t want to do that, feel free to floss your teeth. You know, just because.

It’s Whiteboard Wednesday, so I ask:
What bizarre things have your heard or said recently?
hahah awww
🙂
This made me laugh so hard.
Kids making up jokes is the best. Here’s one I read on Laffy Taffy: “Why does my dad always get home so late?” (My friends and I had a few different answers for this.) But the child’s answer…..to the JOKE…..was “because he is at work”. Anybody hear crickets?
Hilarious. Unless “at work” is a euphemism. 🙂
My 3 yo isn’t old enough to make jokes or be sarcastic but she still manages this every day.
She calls me at work and asks me if I am at the office. When I tell her that I am, she asks me, “Are you working?”
I love that anecdote, Vinay. I can almost hear her!
*Snorts with laughter* God, I wanna live in your house. Just for a little while, so that I may learn your ways, oh Mistress of the Sarcasm Sword.
Ha. You’re welcome to move in. 🙂
Oh, just when you think you’ve got them figured out, eh? So sweet!
True…
This makes me think I should maybe foster some kids for blogging material.
DO backyard sheds count as an extra bedroom for kid storage??? And can you store them away in the off-season? I can’t imagine needing them every day.
I think having kids in order to get blogging material is as good a reason as any. 😉
You crack me up.
you guys are hilarious. 😀
I have the funniest commenters…
Haha, depending on Viv’s intentions she might have topped you in sarcasm there. I say this as a child of a sarcastic mother. MamaClaytion gifted me so.
Uh oh…
Sword, scabbard…what’s the difference?
Around here, they’re both just euphemisms for penis.
p.s. I love you.
Phallocentrism. Nothing like it…
😉
Your kids rock! I wonder where they get it?
Ha. Maybe…
We all know that love and hate are intimately connected.
Same could be said for running away and hugging. 😉
Hi! Stopping by from Journey To Epiphany. Love the ‘sarcasm sword’. Sounds like you’ve got one smart cookie for a daughter 🙂
Good to meet you.
