With our youngest getting older, this may be the last year we have funnies. The kids are still finny, but it's often a whole conversation (rather than Facebook-sized tidbits) that's funny, or a you-had-to-be-there kind of funny. We'll see. Either way, enjoy!
1/1/22 Jake: In book four of The Notebook of Doom, Chomp of the Meat-Eating Vegetables, they defeated the vegetables with teamwork. I really liked that. They did it TOGETHER, which is really, really nice.
1/7/22 Jake: My birthday is only four months away; you better start buying me presents soon so you can be ready!
1/20/22 Jake: Is January close to being done? I’m over it.
2/13/22 Jake: Deep down inside myself I really do like quiet time (mom-imposed hour of time where everyone is alone in their rooms).
2/26/22 Jake: A hug is more important than a cookie because a hug shows you love someone
3/9/22 Jake: When I grow up I’m going to be an author, who’s also a dad, and I’m going to make video games and board games in my free time. I’m going to live next door to you, mom, and just go to New York City when I need to give my books to my publishers.
3/22/22 Jake: Mom, can I say… (whispers) barf?
Me: Yes…
3/31/22 Me: (made a silly, self- congratulating comment about how moms always sacrifice for their children).
4/2/22 Me: Jake, is your room clean?
4/4/22 Jake: Thank goodness for this magazine- now we know how to recycle right! If I ever meet the person who wrote it I’m going to give them a high-five!
4/7/22 Jake: (Seeing an amazon box): Is the thing in there something for my birthday?
Me: Yes.
4/24/22 Jake: I brushed my teeth really hard so I’d have nice breath for Stake Conference.
4/25/22 Jake: Now I KNOW I'm getting older, because I let the dentist do what he needed to even though I didn't like it AT ALL.
5/1/22 Me: I can’t get this game piece off, can you?
5/3/22 Me: (Telling Jake that the thing he’s looking forward to will happen this Friday)
5/5/22 Jake: She’s a really good friend because she doesn’t even care if I yell at her.
(Camilla Movrich Wise please tell me he doesn’t yell at your daughter!)5/13/22 Jake: I’m pretty tired tonight, so I think I won’t read for quite as long so I can go to sleep sooner…I’ll turn off the light at 7:28pm (bedtime is normally 7:30pm).
6/3/22 Me: How did you know (something)?
Jake: It’s just part of boy magic.6/7/22 Jake: My hamburger tastes a little bit picklish.
6/9/22 Jake: I’ve learned that laughing means the same thing in any language!
6/14/22 Jake made up this joke:
7/21/22 Jake: Mom, you lived in the 19s?!!
7/23/22 Jake: I know her like my pinky- so trust me, I know her.
7/28/22 Jake was offered some juice at a friend’s house and he requested one that didn’t have alcohol in it. (Thanks to Camilla Movrich Wise for sharing this gem)
7/29/22 Jake: ‘Satisfying’ is such a satisfying word.
8/3/22 Jake: Mom, aliens are real. Trust me. I just know they are.
8/15/22 Jake: Now that I’m seven, I have super strength.
10/23/22 Jake: I have a mind like an elephant when it comes to holiday decorations: I never forget.
10/25/22 Jake: If the world is ever taken over by crazy squirrels or rabbits, Max (our dog) will have us covered.
