  5. Funny story... everyone is cracking up at me for calling the wandering stallion on Farmville a horsetitute. I just finished my stable there and was dying to accept a stallion so I could have baby horses... well... this stallion spends ONE night in your stable, gives you a THANK YOU colt, and takes off! The nerve of that stallion! I waited all that time and he's just a one night stand for my stables!

  23. I don't really have any good jokes or stories, but my little boy said something funny the other day. Kid funnies are the best, aren't they?

    My little boy (who just turned 5) suffers from allergies and the winter/early spring is tough on him. One day we were talking about heaven and what it would be like. I told him that we would get a new perfect body and our old body would stay on earth. He said, "Can I get a new body with a nose that doesn't run?" Ha ha ha! I laughed so hard that I cried.

  37. Here is my funny story. My husband got a root canal today and was totally drugged up. He took my daughter with him to the pharmacy to pick up his pain meds. When he was done checking out the lady said "thank you" and he replied, "i love you too". He didn't even notice, but my daughter has been telling everyone we see that her "dad loves the lady that gives him drugs." That doesn't sound good any way you look at it.

  41. Here's my funny story...

    My 5 year old daughter wanted to watch TV the other day and we said no cause she had watched too much already. Then she said, "If you want me to talk to you today, then let me watch TV!" We could not keep a straight face and we just burst out laughing...She still didn't get to watch TV. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Oh my goodness, they are all beautiful! I really like the two that are an option for the giveaway, but other than those I LOVE the vintage frames necklace and the open heart bracelet. So classy and beautiful...I think my hubby might need some hints too =)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hmmm, funny story? Ah, I have a good one =) This was my facebook status Monday...

    "I just found a googley eye in Lukas' poopie diaper. Somehow I don't think I will find googley eyes on the recommended food list for 15 month olds =)"

    Need I say more? LOL! Lukas is my 15 month old =) If that didn't make you smile I don't know what will!

  45. A funny (and true story)... Little backstory-my youngest daughter has a very *loud* voice. At the time this happened she was a "budding reader".

    We decided to make cake ball pops from Bakerella. So we're in the middle of the cake mix aisle searching for "red velvet" cake mix. My loud, budding reader was the one to find it.

    However to her, velvet looked like vomit. And she announced in her very loud voice, even louder because of an emphasis of disgust..."Ew you're going to make red vomit cake?".

    We laugh about it now, and I even could have laughed then. But I happened to have a very full bladder. And there were a lot of people in that cake aisle.

    Hope this made you giggle! =)

I delivered our second little girl with my 8-month pregnant neighbor in the room. She was born at 1 am on the 2nd. We always felt that she deserved an April Fool's Day b-day. Hope that was a good story for ya. :)

The cop says"Ma'am i need to see your drivers license ID." The driver was confused, being blonde and all. So, the cop decides to remind her what an ID is. "Ma'am its arectangular thing with your picture on it"The blonde still has no idea, but looks for it anyway. So funny themblondes. She pulls out a rectangular mirror and hands it to the cop.The blonde cop says to the blond driver, "Oh, sorry ma'am if I hadknown YOU were a cop too, I wouldn't have pulled you over."

    I hope I win. thanks

    ReplyDelete
  111. and i lastly a joke for you called: bad day
    There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

    Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

    "No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

    "I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  133. I'm not sure how funny it'll be to you but my son will soon be 3 and is really just starting to speak in phrases/sentences. He's also starting to get bossy. The other week, my husband had his feet on our coffee table (which is actually ok in our house-we're far from formal) and our son wanted to get by. He looked my husband square in the eye and said, "Daddy! Move it!" Not exactly something we should have encouraged but it was a while before we could stop laughing. After we were done I taught him "excuse me" which is just as funny since he walks around now saying "Smuse me!"
