What My Kids Don't Lack

Two Stories from this week to point out what my kids don't lack- Asa humor and Miriam confidence!

Asa

Like any good Mama monkey I was looking over Asa's ears earlier this week. I noticed that of his ears was really plugged up with lots of ear wax. Thinking it might be so much that he could not hear I said to him- "Asa I am going to tell you a word in this ear. You tell me what you hear". So I whispered monkey into the plugged up ear.

He looked at me with a straight face and said really loud "ZEBRA" then he laughed out loud. That little stinker! I laughed so hard too. I guess he can hear just fine :).

Miriam

Today on the way home from preschool we stopped at our egg lady to buy some eggs. We have been buying eggs from her since we arrived so she knows us and is really nice. She sells all types of eggs about six different kinds. We stick to the clean chicken eggs and we get 16 for about one US dollar (what are eggs these days in the US can someone tell me?).

So we get our eggs and then she picks out some smaller spotted eggs to give the kids as gifts. (I had flashbacks to going to the Bank with my Mom as a child and getting suckers....). I ask the egg lady what bird this egg came from but had no idea what she said to answer me. Got to love that- you know the right question to ask and then have NO idea what the answer means!

The kids thought this was pretty cool, I was hoping they would not crack them on the way home.

We get home (Asa only cracked one!) and I ask Miriam if she knows what the egg lady was saying about what bird these eggs are from.

She says "Yeah Mom," she said "They are rooster eggs. Yep, a rooster gave these eggs."

I sure would like to meet that rooster!
