My older sister's kids came over last night and hung out with us while she and her husband went out for dinner to celebrate their anniversary. I was cleaning off my counter this morning and came across this paper that Emma, my 10 yr old niece, wrote. I thought it was hilarious so I wanted to share it. I will write it exactly like she wrote it so you have the full effect:
The Daily News
Reporter: Emma R. Johnson
(on the left margin she drew a picture of a smiley face that is supposed to be Cody. He's saying, "Hey, ladies.") Cody is 12 and my only older cusion. He gets his humor from his halarious father. He has sunburns everywhere!! "Who's your favorit cusion?" reporter Emma askes. "Myself" he simply replys (See, Humor!!) "Who's your favorit brother?" Emma askes. "They both are some thimes. "he answered.
(This left margin has a picture that is supposed to be Abby, her sister saying, "hi.") Abby is my 8-year-old sister. She has a hamster named 'Rhino.' I don't know were her humor is from. "Who's your favorit cusion? "Emma askes lovley Abby. "Everyone" Abby said. "Who's your favorit sibling?" "You" Humor and sence. I like this girl!
I love how she isn't sure where Abby's humor comes from. It's either because she doesn't think her parents are funny or she is not sure who is the funniest. And that only leaves me to assume that she thinks her Uncle Jabon is funnier than her Aunt Tara. Ah, well. Sometimes the youth can be easily fooled. :P
Her son Matt is 6. For dessert I gave them the choice of a brownie I made or a frosted cookie Shelly bought and brought over. Matt chose to have a cookie. All the kids were enjoying their desserts but I hadn't noticed that Matt had only taken a few small bites from his cookie. Finally, he tells me that his cookie does not taste good. He said, "I thought cookies were supposed to taste good! This cookie tastes like dry dirt!!" After I quit laughing, I let him throw away his cookie and gave him a brownie.
Kids are funny. I get the pleasure of being around my funny kids but also my sister's funny kids. It makes life sweeter. :)
