Funny

The other day, Hillel wrote me a note:

Hi Mommy,

I love you soooooo much.  You're not funny.

Thanks kiddo!  I'm hilarious.  Where do you think you got your funny from?!

20 Questions

 In today’s episode of “Oh, The Berow Children”...

We were playing “20 questions” at lunch.  Sometimes, Moshe will come up with a “thing” and his thing turns out to be like the piece of glitter in the upper left corner of the craft, fourth from the right.  And we all groan and roll our eyes while he laughs at all of us for not getting it.
So Hodayah was determined to get him.  So she chose a “thing” that turned out to be Moshe’s “vampire” tooth on the left!
Moshe eventually figured asked “Is it my tooth?” and Hodayah said “Which one?” and Moshe LOST it.  (Laughing….not that he lost his tooth…)
And then, when explaining her choice, Hodayah said “I couldn’t decide which nose hair to choose.  So I chose a tooth.”

That broke him.  I’ve never seen him laugh so hard.  It was so awesome!

Foil Balls

Actual conversations with my children:

1. One Shabbat, Moshe, Hodayah, and Hillel all had crumpled balls of foil and were planning to ambush me when I came back downstairs. Batzie decided not to participate (probably b/c she loves me more) so she did not take a crumpled foil ball.
Batzie: I’m not participating in this.
Hillel: b/c you don’t have balls!
Everyone: Giggle-Snort 🤣
Hillel: Noooo not Those balls!

2. One night, Hodayah was licking her bowl after having noodles with margarine.
Me: Ew Hodayah! Where did you even learn to do that?
Hodayah: When I went to juvie.

Where do they learn this stuff?!?!

Raining in my Kitchen

Hodayah was telling Hillel tonight that drinking water is good for you b/c water splits apart and...something good for your body...I forget the rest.

But that got me thinking "How exactly does water split apart? Like does the hydrogen split from the oxygen?" 

And that got me thinking "I know oxygen is just air, but what is hydrogen? And how does it mix with air to make water?

And that got me thinking "We're surrounded by air. Sooo...if I open a can of hydrogen and release it into the air in my kitchen, will it just start raining in my kitchen?"

I'm so curious!

You win!

Me: Hillel, go hang up your wet clothes.Hillel: No! I want someone to come with me!
Me: No one is coming with you. I'm right here. Go hang up your clothes!
Hillel, after a lot of this back and forth: FINE! I'LL DO IT MYSELF!!!

Darn it! He sure showed me!

Chores

I was home with Hodayah the other day. She insisted on doing the dishes so I let her. Then I said "We also have to switch the laundry." She responded "I'll do the laundry. You can finish the dishes. I'm Done!"
I feel you, girl!
