Bigger Girl does not have much patience for that, and i know a lot of people get frustrated with such children and their parents.

A PS to yesterday's post: #2 Son has cleverly rigged two submersible fish tank pumps with tubing leading to the shower drain, and so we are able to keep up with the water in the laundry room more easily. There has been a lot of damage from the rain here, in certain areas the water is up to the roof line of homes. The Big Boss' house had 6 inches of water in it, and his car, his truck, his antique station wagon, and his daddy's antique Ford truck were all flooded. We may have to deal with water leaking into our house regularly because of a faulty foundation the sellers failed to disclose to us and managed to hide, but we are a lot better off than many people, as we never get more than a little water in that one area of the house. Today, i'm counting my blessings.

Oh, I have wondered about flooding for you since I have watched the news on TV of all the rain in your area! Sorry for the rain from your foundation problems but as you say, it could be worse! :-)
ReplyDeleteA good idea to reduce stress and save money.
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahahaha. That was brilliant. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Silly Sunday. ☺
if it works... :)
ReplyDeleteLOL thanks for the giggle as always haha!
ReplyDeleteHave a giggletastic Sunday :-)
For me it was always a Hockey stick. Of course the people working at the store always wanted me to leave the toy aisle,,,and the whole store after shooting a few pucks. No sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you've only been minimally affected by all the rain. I hope it lets up for you soon.
ReplyDeleteEmbarasssing our children came automatically at our house. We didn't even have to try.
