I Can Thank My Father for Teaching Me Absolute Nonsense. February 10, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Family, Princess Hannah, Thoughts , trackbackEvery night when I put Hannah to bed she requests that I read “too many books.” I’m not exactly sure what number “too many” is, but I know it’s more than four.
After we read books, we sing songs. And by sing songs, I mean “too many songs” which is certainly more than four.
Tonight, after completing the never-ending bedtime routine, she requested that I tell her a story.
So I thought long and hard for like 1.7 seconds and came up with a real winner. One my dad would tell me at night. One that has stuck with me through the years. One that will make her think. In fact, she’ll probably be thinking about this story all night long:
Thirty days has Septober
April, June, and No-wonder.
All the rest have peanut butter
Except Grandma.
She rides a bicycle.
I could see her little brain working, trying to make sense of this nonsense my dad instilled in me.
She looked up at me with her big bright brown eyes and said, “Mommy? Whatcha talkin’ about?”

Too funny! I would have said the exact same thing as she did.
HaHa she cracks me up! Love her comment.
LOL! Your blog is truly delightful! I’ll have to pull this on my kids. Their heads will be spinning.
