Why??

Maureen in the public restroom at the lake to the woman next to us drying off: Why are your boobs so small?

Surprised woman: Uh...

Maureen: Mommy, why are her boobs SO small?

Surprised woman: Some boobs are small like mine and some are big and I haven't gotten implants yet!

Rainbow Puddle or Car Pee?

Bear Poop and Atchison

We just got a van that my dad had for awhile on the farm while he fixed it for us. It got dusty and smells when you first get in it, even though PT scoured and vacummed it for an entire day. Here's what Maureen just said about it...

Maureen: "It smells like bear poop in here........it smells like Atchison."

"I LOST MY..."

We went for a walk last night. The kids found a tree with cherry-like things on them and decided to pick them. Here's what happened on the way home...


Maureen (yelling at the top of her lungs): I LOOOOST MY CHERRRRRY!!!

MaShell: Wow, Maureen, do you really need to yell that?!

Neighbor: That's quite an announcement to make to the neighborhood!

EAT your dinner!

MaShell: Maureen, EAT your dinner!

Maureen: But I don't like it.

MaShell: What's not to like? It's chicken and it's rice with cheese and broccoli.

Maureen (with nose all crinkled up): But that is rice that is all sticking together and that is chicken...farm chicken that goes 'bawk, bawk'
