Quote of the day
June 21, 2006
We arrive at the beach where there are some children who are building what appears to be a castle with a moat around it in the sand.
“What are you doing?” my 7 yr old asks.
“I’m making a dam.” one of the children replies.
“A damn what?” asks my 5 yr old.
The other child looks at him, confused.
“Ooooooh, I get it. you are making a damn castle! Can I help?”
some things are only cute on toddlers
the beach set can be found here.

Thanks for a great laugh this morning. I just love that story.
June 21st, 2006 at 5:43 amLOL! Whoops!
June 21st, 2006 at 5:51 amLOL - good one.
June 21st, 2006 at 5:59 amFantastic!
June 21st, 2006 at 6:24 amMy 2yo days Damma instead of Grandma. So one day as she arrive he was outrside yelling “DAMMA, DAMMA, DAMMA!” The neighbours think I teach him to swear.
June 21st, 2006 at 6:31 amOh my heck! That is so, so funny!
June 21st, 2006 at 7:04 amHa! My kids say “damnit.” Because well, I do. My husband says “Jesus Christ!” and then gets mad at the kids when they repeat it. I just laugh cause I’m evil like that.
June 21st, 2006 at 7:11 amYou (and your kids) never fail to make me laugh!
Thanks.
June 21st, 2006 at 7:25 amLOL. We were recently visiting a lake and explained the concept of a dam to our four-year-old, who started (innocently, believe it or not) exclaiming, “WOW, I really see a whole lot of dam water!”
June 21st, 2006 at 7:27 amThat’s pretty dam funny!
June 21st, 2006 at 7:39 amThat story me up. What a riot!
June 21st, 2006 at 8:22 amHA! A future plumber in the making! How cute!
June 21st, 2006 at 8:39 amNooooo!!! That is too damn funny!
June 21st, 2006 at 8:51 amToo cute and so damn funny! Thanks for your daily humor, Chris. My husband and I both look forward to reading your blog.
June 21st, 2006 at 9:01 amThat’s hysterical! The beach looks like a ton of fun, by the way!
June 21st, 2006 at 9:02 amYou are wonderfully funny, and what a cute tushie.
June 21st, 2006 at 9:28 amSo, so funny! Future plumber, perhaps?
June 21st, 2006 at 9:55 amHa! Your kids are hilarious!
June 21st, 2006 at 1:16 pmThat would be a great joke! Soo funny! We used to love to visit Dams as a kid because then we could say all kinds of things with the word dam in it and not get in trouble! Ha! I loved this post. You are truly a great writer!
June 21st, 2006 at 1:21 pmI love baby butt crack.
June 21st, 2006 at 5:14 pmI found your blog through House In Progress, and I can’t stop reading–I’ve gone all the way back to the beginning, and I’m working my way forward. I can’t get over how similarly we think! I’ve been laughing out loud to see some of my own gripes and celebrations written down by someone else–it’s freaky! I have three boys (ages 5, 3 and 2), and we’re thinking about the next one. I’ll keep tuning in for a preview of what lies ahead. Your family is beautiful!
June 21st, 2006 at 6:02 pmWhen our 9 year old daughter was younger (about 7 or so), she would refer to my mother-in-law and father-in-law as “grandpa and grandpa”. We never bothered to correct our Little Miss Malaprop - it’s too entertaining to just let her talk.
June 21st, 2006 at 6:22 pmLooks like you and your kids had a whole lot of fun at the beach. Love the plumber crack.
June 21st, 2006 at 6:53 pmOk I am sure you’ve heard this, but here goes: I went to the dam to get some dam water, the dam man said I couldnt have any dam water, so I told the dam man to keep his dam water!
I have remembered this since the first time I heard it. I was 9 years old!
June 21st, 2006 at 7:01 pmLOL!
Best quote so far…
June 21st, 2006 at 8:26 pmYou know, kids are the only ones that can pull off that look. It loses something on a hairy-assed over-weight guy (or woman for that matter). Thanks for the cuteness.
June 22nd, 2006 at 9:24 amNow I know our boys would get along famously. I’m just worried that yours might learn “shit!” and “JEZUS CHRIST!” just a little too well.
