The Sunday Funnies

Just as the Saturday afternoon session of general conference started, I realized I had failed to purchase a few key ingredients for dinner.

Since my in-laws happened to be dropping by for vittles after they attended the conference session {live and in person}--it became quite necessary for me to run to the grocery how very ox in the mireish of me.

Naturally, Savvy decided to join me.

On the way to the store, we listened to conference on the radio in my defense, I was tivoing conference--and technically we only missed one speaker--and a bunch of songs.

As we began our quick and dirty shopping spree, Savvy asked, "Hey, how come Walmart isn't playing conference in the store?"

I laughed, "Honey, they don't play conference in Walmart..I'm pretty sure that would be illegal."

She replied, "But, mom! I thought that everyone that lived in Utah HAD to listen to conference?!?"

Things that make you go hmmm?

An April Fool's Shenanigans

This morning, El Jefe woke us all up when he yelled, "Oh man! There's 6 inches of snow outside!"

The kids all yelled (tiredly),
"April Fools!"

We got ready for school and headed out the door--and it started snowing. The kids decided dad's
April Fools joke had come true.

It snowed.

And snowed.

And snowed.

They even cancelled morning recess! It looked like
El Jefe's joke really was going to happen.

On the off chance that April Fools' jokes really do come true...I texted each of my family members that I had won 10 million dollars and I was giving them each $100,000.

{Pretty generous if you ask me. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one comes to fruition.}

In other news, when my Language Arts kids came into class this morning, I handed them each a blank sheet of paper for their spelling pre-test. I began giving their test to them in the language of Ob.

Are you familiar with Ob? I learned it with my BFF in college.

{Picture it: two bored college girls singing church hymns in Ob...over a long holiday weekend. Some girls would've taken this opportunity to go binge drinking--Mel and I chose to better ourselves and learn a foreign language.}

Anyway, they used to do it on PBS's Zoom--AND it happens to be the only foreign language I'm fluent in.

Let the fooling begin:

"Nobumober Obone: Cobastoble," I said.

"Mrs. H! We don't know what your saying!" they yelled.

"Nobumober Tobwo: Knobowlobedge," I said.

"C'mon, Mrs.H," some shouted.

One of my students started listening very intently--and began translating the words for the kids. He's got a future in languages. It was pretty funny.

About half way through the test, my tongue started getting tired from all that fancy talking--and I said April Fools--and started talking in English.

Talk about some good April Foolin' times.

So who are you foolin' today?

{Haven't heard about the secret language of ob?
Watch and learn}

One of my BFF's sent me this cartoon in an email and I thought it was so hilar that I had to share!

This afternoon, my sister and her family came over for dinner and to play our all time favorite card game--The Great Dalmuty.

My brother-in-law, Robeño is a huge tease, and at one point was doing the old--what's on your shirt trick.

You know the game--where you point to their shirt and say, "What's on your shirt?", and when they look down you bring your finger up and flip their chin or nose or whatever.

Well, Uncle Robeño caught Savvy looking down so many times--that she decided to deliver a little retribution.

{Of course, when you are the supreme teaser--you generally don't fall for others' attempts at teasing.}


Savvy just wouldn't give up. She tried that trick many times, yet always failed to catch her Uncle looking down.

As they were leaving, I noticed Savvy chasing Uncle Robeño around the family room. It had been going on for so long that I couldn't remember why she was even chasing him.

"Savvy, what are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm trying to flip off Uncle Robiño--cause he's been flipping me off all night," she answered.

And that's how we keep the Sabbath day holy at our house.

Last week, on American Idol, Kelly Clarkston sang her new song, "My Life Would Suck Without You."



I was cleaning the kitchen, so I missed the performance.

But, when the song ended, Savvy came upstairs and said, "Mom. You know that song "My Life Would Suck Without You?"

"Yes," I said.

"Well, I was just thinking how my life really would suck without you," she continued. "I mean, without you I'd probably be a hobo living on the
side of the road."

{Isn't it wonderful how American Idol strives to instill such inspiring family values into our children? It really does take a village.}
