Horse Coconuts

When I started this blog I intended it to be an encouraging blog, filled with smiles and laughter in hopes of avoiding or at the very least diffusing the insanity.  So how about some humor today.

Some of my favorite times being a parent are the trips I take in the morning to drop them off at school.  We sing songs, talk about lunch and other thoughts from today's guest Serena.

There is a horse up on a hill near the school where my children attend.  We have named this horse sally and the girls are concerned whenever Sally is outside when it rains or snows.  Daddy someone needs to find that horse a nice home or a coat.  Today when had this exchange

Daddy, I really want a horse, but I would like a girl horse (Sure boy horses are always left out)

Well, I don't think we have room for the horse.... (Refinancing for the hay alone.....maybe a reverse mortgage)

Well daddy I want a lady horse because it will lay an egg and hatch a baby horse right????

Uhhhhh (Pegasus?!??)

As we arrived to school a little early I did what I call "Daddy driving school"  where the girls take turns sitting on my lap and we drive circles in the parking lot them at the wheel, me on the gas.  Serena and I notice a particular tree and I comment on how nice it is and she says to me

"Do you know that tree has coconuts in it? (Kentucky Coconuts!!!)

Uhhh (A common response)

It does daddy we pick them up every day!

Thankful for my kids who do so much for me without even knowing it
