Micro Funny Kids

It dawns on me that much of what I used to write here now goes to Twitter. In 140 character snippets. Things that make me laugh but don't quite seem worthy of an entire blog post.

But I started this blog primarily as a way to record the things my kids do that give me the giggles. I don't want to lose those one-liners in the ether of Twitter (although the Library of Congress is now apparently archiving tweets - I probably won't consult the LoC in the future in a fit of nostalgia).

So, I dug back through some tweets and curated a few that still made laugh. If you're on Twitter, I'm @kbmckinney.

• Just watched my 8YO play Minuet in G from memory at piano recital. (Not showing off, he forgot his sheet music. Par for the course.) So cool 1:38 PM Mar 6th

• Wonder what my 3YO was thinking while rubbing applesauce through his hair. Of course, I didnt notice til it was dry. Bestmomever... 5:36 PM Mar 10th

• The bright side of a KU loss? My husband cleans house when he's mad/upset. Vacuuming has commenced! Yay for my house! 7:10 PM Mar 20th

• What is the etiquette when one's 3YO loudly asks "WHAT'S THAT SMELL, MOMMY?!" in the presence of furniture delivery guy with bad B.O.? 1:26 PM Mar 22nd

• Just had to tell one of my 3YOs that he is not allowed to give granola bars to the next-door neighbor's dog. Much to the dog's chagrin. 4:14 PM Mar 23rd

• One of my 3YO twins wore safety goggles to my 8YO's awards assembly this a.m. We're fostering creativity, right? 10:42 AM Mar 26th

• Times I hate living in house backing to woods: 11pm when animal is screaming while likely being attacked by coyote or bobcat in said woods.. 11:10 PM Mar 26th

• Kid #3 is now wearing winter boots b/c I can't find his sneakers. Prob have to go to Target to buy some now. Does this mean I'm unorganized? 4:32 PM Mar 29th

• Excuse me while I go tell my 8YO to turn down the Weezer and go to sleep. I'll be right back after the smackdown... 10:04 PM Mar 31st

• Yes, I did just use crow bars to take a manhole cover off our storm sewer to retrieve my 3YOs shirt. He threw it down there. #IAmWoman... 4:44 PM Apr 8th

• Just got to oldest son's after-school class. Realized when we got out of car that one of the 3YOs has no shoes on. #momfail 5:24 PM Apr 21st

• My youngest just came to me in tears and said, "I don't WANT to go to high school!" He's 3. 26 minutes ago
