As usual, Josh, the kids, and I shared a cabin with Oma, Pa, and Aunt Lucy during our annual vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks. One of the highlights for Henry and Elena was the fact that Josh and I did not enforce the usual bedtime. Still, the kids woke up in the morning well before Oma and Aunt Lucy each day. Josh and I tried to keep the kids relatively quiet until all the adults were up and repeatedly asked Henry ahd Elena to be quiet.
One morning, I was in the kitchen when I heard Henry bellowing, "Mom! Mom! Mom!" as he came down the hall from our bathroom in the back of the cabin. When he finally spotted me he informed me, "Mom, I didn't flush the toilet so I wouldn't wake anyone up!" Oma and Aunt Lucy had a lovely wake-up call that morning!

About Me
- Emily
- My maternal grandmother had 10 children. Somehow she managed to find the time to write down the funny things her kids said over the years. These writings came to be known as the "funny book." Her oldest child, my mother, kept the tradition alive by writing her own funny book to record all the cute - and sometimes weird- things that my four sisters and I said and did as we grew up. After several years of being remiss in my duties as recorder of all things funny for my own family, I started this blog as the modern version of the funny book. I hope you enjoy it.
