Sometimes our kids say the most wonderful things. And sometimes…

Kids, you can’t take them anywhere, right?
This is the first in what I’m hoping will become a bit of a series on the blog – your stories written up and shared by me. Personally, I think it sounds like a lot of fun. For example, the Miss5 in this story, and the masters 6 & 8, belong to a lovely reader of BFLI, Helen Kulas, who kindly agreed I could retell her children’s hilarious dinner table conversation. Thank you, Helen!
“I suppose you think you’re very funny,” Tracey scoffed at me this morning as we raced around finding shoes, hats and bags. I had no idea what she was on about.
Worst. Motel. Ever. Read our story then I dare you to try do better. Plus at the bottom there’s a heads up on how to win a luxury tropical weekend escape at Niramaya Spa & Beauty valued at $4000. Thank you to Star Ratings Australia for sponsoring this post 🙂
Valentine’s Day has a special place in our love story.
Sometimes it just takes a fresh set of eyes….and a four year old.
While bathing Miss3 tonight I had the pleasure of listening to a conversation between Tracey and Miss5.
I’m such a good parent that even when I’m taking a less-than-standoverish supervisory role, good things happen.
Not only did I get him to buy me lunch at the sausage sizzle out front of the hardware store but I also got to catch up on his latest news and be rewarded with a story.
Tracey just told me I am terrible at bedtime stories. What do you think?
“Not that story,” Miss5 said when I suggested yet another from a way too big book of bedtime stories. I flicked a few pages to one about monkeys. It looked fantastic. Only a couple of dozen words a page.
A wonderful, quick story from a friend of mine, copied and pasted directly from Facebook. Sometimes there’s simply nothing to add.
Easter is the busiest time of the year to try book into a motel. Unless you’re some sort of hero.
