And several days later on the 6th of May 2011:My Sister, The Prankster
Last night I was sitting in my closet engrossed in the new knitting magazine I received in the mail earlier that day.
Katherine came in and said, "Rebekah are you going to bed soon?" Now you, after reading the title knew she was up to something, but I didn't. I just replied, "Yes."
"Rebekah, it's almost ten thirty."
"Okay, I'll be done soon."
So after finishing it, I got up and put it away along with the yarn catalog I was looking at on the bookshelf. Then I walked to my bed, trying to avoid the things on the floor, and sat down. I put my glasses away, and then I crawled in under the covers.
I pushed my feet down under the covers, but they only reached half-way. I pushed again, then realizing someone had short-sheeted my bed, I reached at the top of the bed, and pulled the top of the sheet out from under the mattress, while saying to Katherine, "Was it you? It was you wasn't it?"
"Why not?" She said.
I am glad she did it to me, because I wasn't that mad about it, I thought it was funny!! I had just been thinking the other week of who I could do it to...
And on the side, I finished the last of history, for the whole year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Except Finals, of course. :)
Anna, Mary Ann, and Grandt, Interviewed
Here is my post about my other two sisters. I interviewed them!!!!!! Grandt wanted to be interviewed too, and he produced my favorite answer of all. Well, here it is:
Reporter Rebekah: Tell me something about yourself.
Anna: I am 8, going to be 9 October 25th. I like doing stuff with yarn.
Mary Ann: I'm 6. I'm going to be 7 September 13th.
Grandt: I'm 5.
Reporter Rebekah: What do you like to do for fun?
Anna: Crochet, knit, and color.
Mary Ann: Color, making books.
Grandt: Go outside or go on the computer.
Reporter Rebekah: What have you been doing a lot lately?
Anna: Crocheting a dress for my doll. I just learned how to ride a bike a week ago.
Mary Ann: Math and handwriting.
Grandt: Going outside a little (yittle) bit.
Reporter Rebekah: What's your favorite part of the day? Why?
Anna: Around 10 (in the morning), when we do Peacemakers (Our devotion time).
Mary Ann: In the morning when the sunshine's up, and it's bright.
Grandt: The morning. Because you can go outside more often.
Reporter Rebekah: What's your favorite thing about school?
Anna: I like Math.
Mary Ann: Math and Handwriting.
Grandt: Crafts.
Reporter Rebekah: What was your favorite part of this week?
Anna: Sunday when we went to the park and the Baffas came to our house.
Mary Ann: Sunday, cause we went to the park with a bunch of our friends.
Grandt: When the Baffas came.
Reporter Rebekah: If you were interviewing me, what is one question you would ask me?
Anna: What do you do most of the day?
Mary Ann: I would show you a picture and ask, "Does this look good?"
This is the last and my favorite answer:
Grandt: Can I ask something like Mary Ann's? Not the same (assuredly).
I'd show you a picture and say "You're welcome," if you said, "Thank you!"
How My Little Sister Is Like Sharks
Disclaimer: This isn't a bad thing. My little sister isn't mean like sharks, this is about how she is like them, not that she's identical to them.
In biology, we learned about sharks and how they have an electric recognition system, that helps them find prey. Here is a short article about it on Wikipedia.
Julia has what I call an 'ink recognition system'. We have a fair amount of pens in our house, we just can never find them. Except Julia. Every time you look at her she has a pen in her hand. And she can get pretty upset if you take it away.
That's how my little sister is like a shark.
I am now happy to give you a post that is actually worth reading and is fairly long, too.
This morning, I came downstairs to eat breakfast. I wanted to have a bowl of Honey Crunch 'n Oats and I couldn't see the box anywhere. I asked, "Where's the Honey Crunch 'n Oats?"
So Mom announced that we were not going to have wheat today and that I couldn't have any Honey Crunch 'n Oats. I was rather chagrined and started saying why I should be able to have the cereal (I am tired of writing said cereal because it takes too long) to no avail. So I sat down and had a bowl of Rice Krispies.
Mom said we could have a glass of orange juice for breakfast. We were all rather excited about that since we don't usually have juice for anything except medicine, but we were still rather upset about the no-wheat thing.
Josiah claimed that Mom gave us the juice to boost our morale after the whole no-wheat thing. Well you see, I was eating my Rice Krispies when he said that and it made my milk go up my nose. I proceeded to say that having your milk up your nose hurt more than water or pop and that it rather fogged up your nose. Then I sneezed and discovered that not only my milk went up my nose but also my Rice Krispies.
Now I am telling you this to warn you against listening to something funny while you are eating Rice Krispies. Because if they go up your nose, believe me it doesn't feel good.
Other things I have learned in the past few days that don't feel good are:
- Stepping on a zipper
- Jabbing your leg against the corner of the end table
There you have it. Come back tomorrow for another funny post...A Terrible Day and Some Comic Relief
So, why is today a terrible day? Well, for school we are learning some about monks, and how they made vows of silence. So for school, one day this week we can't talk. And you guessed right, it's today. The only thing that makes it semi-bearable is I can write and sign (language). But not talking is even worse than not eating. I am NOT going to mention eating biscuits, bacon, and cheese all day. I want to forget that day. But I digress... It's been a terrible day and it's not even noon. Aauugghh! At least, I can write on here.
Well lately, there have been some funny things said (and done) around here, so I thought I would put them on this post for comic relief.
Funny #1:
I was talking about Mrs. Joy, from our church, and I said, "she was like a kid in a candy shop, just full of joy." Then Stephen and I both laughed at the same time and said, 'full of joy. Ha ha!" then we paused for a second and both of us said, "Great minds think alike!" (At the same time, mind you)
"Oh, that's creepy, that's too creepy," Josiah said.
Funny #2:
Julia fell by the nightstand. When Stephen asked what hurt her, she pointed to the book, 'Resources for Caring People'.
Funny #3:
Julia was looking at cliff notes for Dante's The Divine Comedy: Inferno, and she drew a question mark after 'Comedy'. I guess she didn't know that in the Roman times a 'comedy' meant that no one died at the end, not that it was funny.
Well, that's it for today. I hope at least you had a good day!
As I wrote on our dry-erase board for all to see, "I didn't know I talked so much in one day"
26 out of 32 presents done!!!!!! Only six more, yeah!
Tonight Dad is going for the PADS night shift and so he was resting on the couch so he could be awake tonight. And yes, I wrote was resting.
I was putting away Mom and Dad's laundry when I saw Katherine coming out of their bedroom with a look of shock saying, "There is a hole in their ceiling." And she tried to tell Dad but he must have not heard. And I'd have to admit that I wasn't very surprised. Until she said it was leaking. Whoa! I said to Dad, "There's a hole in the ceiling." He didn't look very surprised or ready to get up, so I tried again, "It's leaking."
I never saw Dad get up off the couch so fast! He quickly said, "Where?"
"Your room," I replied and he headed straight for it. Right now, it is not fixed and Dad is trying to decide what to do.
But I felt like I had to put this on here with, "The moral of this story is, 'If you ever want to get your dad off the couch, tell him the ceiling is leaking.' Of course, if it's not true you aren't going to be in a good situation."
