  1. Earlier this year, my 6 year old son had something stuck in his ear. I looked in there and freaked-it totally looked like a moth! My husband looked and thought the same thing. While trying not to outwardly freak out so as to not freak out the boy, I drove as fast as I possibly could to Urgent Care! The PA there tried to pull out whatever it was (bug!??) in there but could not, so he pulled out what amounts to a mini pressure washer for the ear. After about 30 minutes of basically pressure washing the boy's ear, chunks started to come out...white gross chunks of wax! It was no bug, thank God but we did find a green, wilted piece of what looked like spinach/lettuce?! That boy does hate any type of vegetable so it really shouldn't have surprised us too much that he was trying to hide his veggies in his ear! It totally could have been worse, I guess. My cousin, when she was little, stuck a scratch-n-sniff sticker in her nose and had to be taken to the ER! It must run in the family to stick crazy objects into orifices:)

  2. I like you on Facebook with my username Mary Happymommy, I shared the post about this giveaway and tagged you, and shared your Facebook page.

    I'm having a hard time thinking of just ONE funny story. My kids are funny everyday. Examples:

    * Yesterday my 8 year old son, who thinks he's all grown up now, proclaimed "I'm 6 years older than my little sister. To her, I'm an adult".

    * My 7 year old son asked me the other day: "Mommy, what is God's last name?"

    Thanks for the chance!

  3. This is kind of gross but is it funny!

    We were in Maine for a week. While we were there we went to a kids pizza fun place (like Chucke-cheese). We had won a ton of tickets from the games and my son had purchased a whoopie cushion. He had popped it and to make a long story short, his nana had gotten him another one at Spencers.

    As we were making a LONG journey home, I told him a good prank would be to take the whoopie cushion into the restroom rest areas. (They have a good echo in them). We had stopped at one of the big rest stations and my son was going to bring it in. I told him not too and I thought that he put it back up.

    When we started walking back to the car, my husband started to laugh, I asked him what was so funny. He told me that while he was washing his hands, my son was on the other side of him and a man was blowing drying his hands. My son blew up the whoopie cushion and let it out. The guy at the hand blower looked over his shoulder as my husband twisted his butt a little to make it seem real. Then my husband looked over at my son and said excuse me. The guy gave my husband a discussing look and left.

    I told him next time have his phone out and video tape it.

    I don't blame you for wanting to come back south. I can only take two weeks up in Maine before I am ready to get back home. Especially when it is 70 here and 25 there. lol! ;)

  4. I have a 3 yr. old son who is full of laughs and makes me smile all day. There are so many stories, but the one that sticks out was what he did at school for Fathers Day last year. They had 3 quesions and glued pictures on a peice of paper to give their daddy. The questions ended in a blank and he had to fill in the blank about his daddy.
    The first question was "My daddy makes me smile by_______"my stinky feet." he replied
    THe next question was "I love it when my daddy____"eats chicken nuggest with me"" and the third question was the best. "I think my dad is _______Bennett""...His dads name. As many kids put cool, awesome, etc...mine was a little different. I hate to see what the daycare workers thought of that response...lol.
    Thanks for the chance. Have a great day!

  5. It is hard to think of a funny story, one in particular.... But when you have a 12 month old, funny things happen all the time!! One off the top of my head.....

    My husband was born and raised in Lithuania. Needless to say, he is hilarious when it comes to "American" common sense. One day my friend had given me a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal for my little boy. My husband came home, noticed Roman with Winnie and asked, where did he get a Vinnie the Pooh?! I love that he has been in this country for 12 years and no one ever cared to correct him! (not that it's something that comes up often but come on!) :) we now call Winnie, Vinne!

  6. I have a 15 month old daughter, Tynleigh and a 1 month old son, Jacob--So needless to say I stay very busy. I laugh EVERYDAY at something that Tynleigh does. It is usually something that you have to see--She LOVES dancing and will dance to any song that she hears, even on commercials. Her favorite song to dance to is Beyonce's Single Ladies--She even does the whole left hand twist, which is hilarious. She has also started to put her hands over her ears when she knows that we are about to tell her "NO" about something--which is funny and hard not to laugh at in front of her. The latest thing that was funny but also kind of embarrassing happened about a month ago before her brother was born. We were at the mall and went into Belk to change her diaper. Another woman in the restroom was obviously having stomach trouble and was "blowing it out" very loudly. Tynleigh started making the same noises with her mouth and OF COURSE the woman came out of the stall at the same time that we did. I really had to hold it together and not laugh out loud b/c it was obvious that Tynleigh was copying the woman. I am glad that she got to see that Tynleigh was too young to really be picking on her! Everyday with my two sweet babies give me a reason to laugh! Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway!! Glad to hear you are coming back south!

  7. My husband is probably very sick of this story, but the kids laugh HYSTERICALLY when I tell it! 9 yr old boy and 11 year old girls apparently love potty humor! When my daughter was a young infant, she had a major blow out when I was walking her down the street..Gross, but it was terribly runny diarrhea, so I was in a big hurry to get her upstairs to clean up the mess. In my frantic state, I was grabbing paper towels and trying to wipe up what I could along the way. I dropped one, but I knew I'd be back to clean up the mess, AFTER I cleaned the baby and got a diaper on her!
    So I gave her a bath, and started to walk downstairs my baby all beautiful and clean, so I could to clean the mess I left behind.
    Meanwhile, My husband had come home from work unexpectedly. I saw him standing in the kitchen wiping his face with a paper towel. Then, I looked down and noticed that the paper towel I had dropped wasn't there anymore, so I said, " Where did you get that paper towel?"
    And HE said, "OH, it was on the floor. I figured you just dropped it, and I need to wipe something off my face...."
    "WHAT????" I said, " WHY on EARTH would you EVER get a paper towel off the FLOOR to wipe your face???? I was just cleaning diarrhea with that, and was coming back to throw it away???"
    I don't think he has ever picked up a paper towel off the floor EVER AGAIN!

  9. Hey there Courtney, looking 4ward to meeting you! Your Mom and I have started hangin out a lil and she's told me all about you :) OK, so here's my funny story--after I had my 2nd child, my son who is now 19, was 4 yrs old and always in orbit. He was always makin me laugh with the things he'd say. One day I was changing my daughter's diaper and he was watching me. I opened up the diaper and while I was getting another, he looked at my daughter's stuff and said "Ewwwww there's a crack in there!!" Then he started gagging all over the place and almost threw up. Thing is, it wasn't the butt crack, it was the "other" crack ;) Now that he's 19, he has a totally different perpective on that "crack" as you can imagine ;) We still laugh about it today! So there's that.....btw,good luck with your move!
