Day 26 - Ears...yes, I said ears

I'm thankful for the ears of friends.  The ones that listen when you need them, even if you didn't intend to use them in the first place.  They listen, they hear. 

They will use those ears to realize when things aren't right. They will listen and try to make something hurt a little less even when they know they can't fix it. 

I'm thankful for friends who will use those ears to hear what you are saying and will then in turn give you a wake up call when you are feeling bad.  They will tell you the truth.  They will tell you to buck up and realize when things aren't your fault.

Funny things those ears.   You'd never know how powerful they can be or how much they can mean.

One liners from my lil ones

Still tracking these but I need to get better at it because I'm missing some good ones!   The problem is they'll just toss something out when I'm driving and well, that's not a great time to be whipping out my cell phone and texting myself a quick note so I don't forget.

Aidan:
I love that cops can just stop when they are done chasing a bad guy and go have a donut at Dunkin Donuts for less than regular people pay for a donut.  I love that about cops!!

Ryan:
Every day when I get home from school I take a nap.
Me:  That's because you are tired because you stay up too late after you're supposed to go to bed.
Ryan:  No, it's because I do all the tired things at school!

Erynn:
I am SO PUFFED!!!
Me:  What?  I'm sorry, I have no idea what that means.
Erynn:  Yes you DO Mom.  It's when you are really really full and you can't eat anymore.
Me:  Ohhhhhh, you mean you are stuffed!
Erynn:  Oh.  Yeah.  I'm so stuffed.
