These always crack me up!!!! We often sit on the porch & listen to the neighbor kids play - they say things when adults are absent that bowl you over.

Have a great Thursday Tamar!

My favorites are the secret hashem and the amazon prime one. That last one made me laugh out loud.

The boys bathrom pass-yick. I 'd throw it out and make anew one for this next year.

I can only imagine the exchanges that have to give you a chuckle. I think Ryan was about that age when he asked if he could have an old/broken flip phone to play with. Me: "it's broke" Him: "that's okay, I have broke friends." He got the phone.

You have funny kids. They seem really quick on their feet with the wit. I would be dying all the time from laughing.
