The FUNNY Thread - What Made You Laugh Today?

Changes in routine are extremely annoying to DD10. Talked to her last night about the fact that I would be gone till Saturday night. Said something about it this morning before the bus got here and she goes "Oh Right" and begins making trips from the kitchen to her room. I check her room and she has piled the table by her bed with bottles of water, graham crackers, bananas, cheese and cracker packs, and the first aid kit ". Asked her why and she tells me "Oh-just in case". I leave for 36 hours and my daughter goes into full "Prepper Apocalypse" mode::

5 yo dcb I had all summer is in dd kindergarten class. He's one of my favorite kids, funny, creative, listens well. Anyway, dd mentions that he gets in trouble in class and often has to sit out for part of recess. Me: "that's weird, he's never acted like that here"
Dd: well, that's cause your the boss
Me: isn't your teacher the boss at school?
Dd: no, she's nice.

Sometimes I have the kids have a potty buddy. An older potty trained child goes on the big toilet and a younger not quite potty training or early potty training little one sits on the potty frog on the floor. Just using a little positive peer pressure, little ones like getting to go with their big buddy and big kid likes being the teacher.

DCG3: Ms CC, I will potty train Sara for you!
Me: Really? That would be great!
DCG3: Yep. You pay me $100 and I teach her.
::

Honestly if she could train the little ones for real I might pay up

When she gets done with yours, send her my way!

Well it was more one of those moments you have to laugh at yourself because you're deliriously tired, so your actions are automatic. But just this evening, I accidentally kicked a toy with my foot so that it crashed loudly AND started playing music. Instinctively I jumped and looked toward the napping area while "shhhhh-ing".

.........I am completely alone. The kids have been gone for hours. ::::::

And this has been happening more frequently, although this is the first time I've caught myself rather than Hubby. Lol

Dcg started putting her shoe on the wrong foot. I said, "Oops, wrong foot--switch it to the other foot." She does, then asks, "This foot, Ms D?"

Uhh.....no, try your third foot.

Kind of funny but kind of

Yesterday my 5 yo SA DCB was heading outside. He was dawdling the doorway so I jokingly told him to "shake it!"
He proceeds to shake his bottom at me. I start laughing and say
"hey, I'm going to swat that bottom!"
He laughs and runs outside.

Then I realized what I just said ::

Funny stuff until dck tells dcp, dcp tells your office, your office shuts you down. A provider of 22yrs had licensed pulled. She was absolutely shocked & appealed. Office reviewed case, interview dcp & dck, 2 months later decided to let her have her license back if re-attended training. Dcp didn't know who to believe. Was it a joke? Was she serious? Long term daycare family of 3yrs & 2 dck. I learned my lesson through hearing what she went through & her updates. Sorry to be a downer. I would hate same to happen to another provider.

Thankfully this family isn't one I would worry about as I've had all three of their kids since they were infants, and they have a similar sense of humor, etc. But it did cross my mind that I have new kids whose parents don't know me, etc. thus the when I realized it.
One of the hazards of in home is that we can get too familiar with the kiddos in our care, and that was definitely the case yesterday. I actually will be on better guard though because I know all too well how the story ends...

I am sick with the stomach flu today so my employees are filling in for me today.
One of the kids saw me walk through the main living space and said, "are you wearing THOSE sweats because your tummy is sick?"

Super funny because he is my fashionista.

I love new talkers. I have a little boy right now walking around "drinking coffee", He always switches the f and the c around, so it sounds rather like a swear. Having a hard time not laughing every single time.

My 16month old granddaughter saw the new Halloween cat decoration and gave him a big loud "Mooooooo!!!"
I love this thread. Sometimes a little chuckle is just what is needed.

Sentence #5006 I never thought I'd hear myself say: "Don't pretend to taser the other children."::

It rained last night, so I thought it might be nice to go for a walk, look for worms and play at the park a bit. I always bring a towel when we go to the park so I can dry any slides etc. Well the kids went running to play and turned to unbuckle littlest dck from the stroller. When I turned back dcb3 and already made it to the top of the slide, when he came shooting down it looked like he was on a slide at a water park, there was a wake of water up to his ears as he hit the bottom of the slide! I have never seen anything like it before :: I had extra clothes in the stroller, so I changed dcb before drying the rest of the slides...it was amazing. I am failing to describe the amount of water exploding everywhere.

Modeling Career

Unfortunately I wasn't able to witness this, but my manager told me this story this morning and I had to laugh/share.

Dcb2 has been getting a few scratches on his face lately because toddlers. Dcd is very upset, so went to talk to manager.

Apparently dcd closed the conversation with, "It's just I'm trying to get him into modeling and acting, and if his face is all messed up like this, he'll never be able to have a modeling career."
