Quirky and Quirky Son#2 (six-year-old) are walking home from school.
QS#2: Mom! Watch how fast I can walk!
Quirky: You're doing great!
QS#2: Did you miss me today?
Quirky: Of course, I did.
QS#2: You know Mom, I can read minds.
Quirky: You can?
QS#2: Yes, I'm really good at it.
Quirky: Okay, read my mind right now.
QS#2: Blog.
Quirky starts laughing.
QS#2: Mom, that's all you think about! EVERY day! How come you do it everyday? You like it don't you Mom?
Quirky: Yeah, I guess I do.
(Two hours later.)
QS#1 (the twelve-year-old) walks into the room.
QS#1: Hey Mom, whatcha doin?
QS#1: Never mind. You're blogging aren't you?
Quirky: Well, yeah... maybe. Kind of. Well because I just finished paying some bills online and I thought since I was already online... I might as... well... you know...?
QS#1: You're ALWAYS blogging.
Quirky: No I'm not! Oh, I looked up that thing... you know that... thing? What was it you wanted me to look up for you again? (nervous chuckle)
Dang!
I guess you really can't fool kids, can you?
They know.
Oh, how they know!
B.S. No blogs were harmed during the production of this post.
B.B.S. Note to Quirky: only blog during school hours when the kids are away.
B.B.B.S They start Winter Break after school on Friday.
B.B.B.B.S. That's today.
B.B.B.B.B.S. Oh nooooooooooooooooooo!!

Are your kids trying to tell you something, Quirks? They're not going hungry, are they? Ha, ha.
somehow i missed this fabulous makeover. creepy AND perfect (that IS a compliment, by the way!).
my boys don't totally understand the whole blogging scene, except that i am pretty obsessed with it. they think that my blog is more of a community site, i think. my youngest insists i should start charging people to visit my site. i keep explaining that i can barely get people to visit FOR FREE!
Hmm - perceptive boy, there, hmm? He has a future! "The Amazing Quirky Son" doing mind reading on TV.
Bet on it. Blog on it. (wink)
The Old Silly
So that's why I didn't have kids. I knew that I couldn't fool them.
Sigh.
Blog on. Send the kids to their rooms and type away!
Blog on, Quirky-Mom, blog on!!!
I tell them I'm emailing their teachers for extra credit assignments...
"If you don't stop bugging me, the next one's gonna be about how I flogged you with a garden hose. Now go do your homework."
That should do the trick.
@Nomie Actually they're starving while I sit around on my largeasse, erm, I mean largesse! Ha!
@Deb Thanks for the compliment. You're much funnier than the "D" woman (I refuse to type her name is that wrong?) YOU should be making 40K a year! That I could see and understand, but her? Just don't see it and don't wanna see it. Yeesh. I guess I'm bitter, eh? hee hee
@TalentScoutMarv I bet he could read your mind! Actually he did! And for shame, for shame, FOR SHAME on you! hee hee
@Reffie Sometimes I really wonder why I reproduced. I thought all the eggs had withered and dried... but apparently they hadn't! Ha!
@MeMe That's what time-outs are for! Send them to their rooms and oh... what to do? What to do? heh heh heh
@VE Ha! Yeah that'll put the fear of blog in them!
@Knucklehead Sounds like a winner of a plan. I have filed it away for near future use! hee hee
That's why I tell my kids I'm 'surfing porn.'
There's such a stigma attached to blogging these days.
Loving the labels, Quirky. And I love the terse "Blog" from QS#2. Kid doesn't waste any syllables.
Stopped over from Me-Me's place.
People just don't understand bloggers. We are such a misunderstood lot. Oh well. Give the boys their own computers & tell them to leave you alone! Um, I mean, tell them you are writing the great novel & it will bring in tons of money so they can have whatever their hearts desire. Maybe that will stop them from bugging you for awhile! LOL
@Mooooooog35 But you are surfing porn, so.....? Ha!
@Kablooey Yeah, imagine my surprise when he said it. "Blog." It did make me laugh a lo!
@adrienzgirl Welcome! So glad you stopped on over and hope you'll be back. If you like loonatics and zombies, you'll be back! hee hee
@Collette That's a great idea, but what happens when that money never comes? Will you give? hee hee hee
Vlad also thinks I blog too much when he's at home. At 22, he still thinks he should have my undivided attention... WTF?
I do think this is a most incredible website for proclaiming great wonders of Our God!
