Top 10 List

Here is my Top 10 List of Things I Overhear From Another Room in the House That Make Me Go Running Into the Room From Which I Hear Them:

10. “This will work, but we can’t tell mom.”

9. “Do you think this is waterproof?”

8. Giggle, giggle. “Luke, put your clothes back on.”

7. “Come over here and help me move this furniture.”

6. “I wonder how hard we would have to throw this for it to break.”

5. “A LITTLE HELP HERE!”

4. “We better put a bunch of pillows up or this is going to hurt.”

3. “Trust me. I’ll catch you.”

2. A crash and then wailing.

1. Complete silence.

And when you hear all of these things in one day, you know it’s time for a vacation. Without the kids. See you all Tuesday!

HOW did you manage this vacation? Who is sitting for you? In my wildest dreams we'd be doing something like this soon.

oooohh...silence is the scariest.

once i found my kids outside trying to...i'm not kidding...catch a raccoon.

LOL! I actually read your list aloud to my hubby because he wanted to know why I was choking. He had a good laugh, too, and when I explained that you have two sons and a husband and that your boys could be quite creative, he said, "You know, it takes two boys to be creative. One boy just doesn't get into that much trouble."

Tell us again why you are taking the biggest and most problematic boy if you want to relax.
ENJOY, ben

In my house I would have to add "Okay, you get the cat...."

I agree though that the silence is the scariest. My kids look at me like I am nuts when I burst into their bedroom to confront their blatant and uncontrolled ...book reading.

Have fun!

Amy said...

Oh yes! Run when you hear it (or don't hear it).

#4 is a favorite around here too...and the dreaded, yet pleasant complete silence that lasts only until the crash followed by wailing.

Fun list! Have a fun vacation.

I know those sounds well! The sound of silence when more than one child home is the scariest of all! Where are you going on vacation? I'm jealous, have fun!
