The FUNNY Thread - What Made You Laugh Today?

[Mike]

I was standing near the cubby/coat room this morning chatting with a parent at drop off.

Suddenly a big shadow appears and a huge clunk is heard/felt on the side of the house.....

Apparently a ruffled grouse flew into the house. They are wood/forest creatures and are rarely spotted in town. Not sure where he was going as they are ground dwelling birds and seldom fly......they are much like chickens.

Anyways, the bird hits the house and wanders around the other side looking pretty dazed and confused. DCM and I are watching it as another parent (DCD) comes to drop off.... Just as we are explaining what we are doing, the bird ****s it's head to one side and sort of flops over belly up and dies.

DCD asks for a plastic bag. I find him one, grateful I do not have to figure out how to dispose of this bird before outside time.

20 minutes later I get a text from DCD:

"Thanks for the grouse! I bet it's the first time one has been de-feathered and cleaned in the bank parking lot before! Thanks for dinner! Looking forward to a deer hitting your house next!" :: ::

At least it was put to a good use.

Lol BC! But I gotta say...poor bird. Dumb obviously. But poor bird.

[Laurie]

4 yo dcg at lunch:My mom and dad are nicer than you are
me: Yeh? Why is that?
dcg: they don't make me eat fruits and veggies.
'Nuf said.

Poor mistreated child. We had chicken, brown rice, red and green peppers, and clementines. After eating her chicken and rice, she wanted more. I said no, eat your clementine. Or your peppers. I even gave her a choice.
I then proceeded to point out that all 3 of the other dcgs had finished everything on their plates and liked the food too. So what's she do? ****s the juice out of her clementines. I told her she wasn't getting more chicken and rice that way.:confused:

That's funny. I had a similar experience, except it was a bunch of pigeons that decided it was a good idea to keep flying into the wall. Luckily they didn't die and no family had to eat them for dinner

How big is a grouse?

I had to laugh at the deer part. In our area there are so many deer vs car accidents that "vehicle" is a listed harvest method on the DNR form at the processors.

I had to laugh and share this parent logic with you all, as I'm sure you'll chuckle too.

My best friend brings her child for 2 half days per week, so I only charge her $30/week. She was selling a travel highchair that would be perfect to use with my 6 month old while camping, for $30.

I suggested we just trade child care for the chair, since it is pointless for me to give her $30, and for her to give me $30 right back. She said she would prefer I pay her for the chair, as she needs the $$$ for a different item for her child.

If that works out in her head that is totally fine withe, because in the end we are still trading child care for the chair 😂😂😂

LOLOLOL I'll bet she felt pretty dumb after she thought it over for a bit!

Normally they are about 16-19" tall and are about half the meat "size" as a chicken so takes more than one to feed a family of 4+

LOTS of deer-vehicle accidents here too... you're never a true resident until you hit one yourself. I have twice in my life (once in dark doing about 60MPH) DH and both kids have hit them also... it's just part of driving in general. Lol!

Aww what a lovely thread! I have a 4yr old girl who comes to our family daycare. On the blackboard in the kitchen I had the playdough recipe written up. She came in to help me make it. She was absolutely horrified that I would use oil....because "oil belongs in cars, silly!"

The same girl is about to have her birthday party soon. On the music playlist is an eclectic mix of Katy Perry and Pink Floyd, apparently ::

[TheMisplacedMidwestMom]

DD3: Look mom I figured it out!
Me: What's that?
DD pokes baby's cheek: Squishy.
DD pokes my bicep: And squishy! They're both squishy!

...And it's time to diet.

Older kids decide they are dogs during free play, youngers are told they are cats and happily comply.

Olders turn play tent into "dog house" and shut youngers out yelling "no cats allowed".

Mrs. Cat Herder grabs small dishes of goldfish crackers and calls all cats for treats, "No dogs allowed, these are cat treats.".

The playroom is now full of cats happily playing on the climber and with balls of yarn.

My 2 year old son trying to win an argument with 3 year old dcb about who is taller: "Mommy! DCB say my taller and my NOT taller. My bigger!"

[Leigh]

I run to the bathroom and while in there, my son and his friend see the mail delivered and go grab the mail. When I come out of the bathroom, I see the friend throwing something in the trash. I ask "What did you throw away?". He says "It's just bills. You DON'T need THEM.". I agree young man, I DON'T need them. ::
