My friend Elizabeth showed this to me the other day... I was in stitches!

Note to self:
If there's a horrid smell in the kitchen and the trash *seems* to be the culprit, do not, I repeat, do NOT bend down over it and take a long deep breath. Bad idea. Bleh!
Bubbles in the Rain
I headed downstairs, as the rain continued to come down outside. I was at work at my brother's and I had already seen how Anne Marie and Reuben had been enjoying the downpour. Last time I had seen the 4 and 6-year-old they looked like little wet... things, drenched from head to toe.
All of a sudden Anne Marie runs past me with a bottle of some kind (possibly shampoo) making a 'b' line for the front door. Wha...? I didn't stay in the same place long to contemplate it.
About 5 or 10 minutes later I heard someone knocking at the garage door. It sounded like a little voice was saying, "Reuben!! Let me in!" I dashed to the door to find Anne Marie dripping with bubbles all in her hair, running down her face and on her shoulders.
Making sure to instruct her not to move from the mat in the hall, I ran to get Katie. I still hadn't quite put all the pieces of this puzzle together.
About 5 minutes later, Katie's reaction, "Anne Marie! I told you to get the shampoo, not the bubble bath! The kind that pumps into your hand!"
Apparently Katie had given Anne Marie permission to wash her hair in the rain. (What kid wouldn't want the chance to do that?) Anne Marie just got the wrong bottle and the rain ended before she could complete her rinse!
"Go upstairs in Mama and Daddy's shower and rinse off."
Big brother Reuben steps into help, "Come on Anne Marie. I'll turn on the shower for you!"
Car Naivety
I may have driven my car when the transmission fluid was pouring out, but I hope I never am this naive:
Snarky
Something about how this word sounds just excites me. The combination of the 's' and 'n' make it roll off of the tongue. Unfortunately for me, the word is not used in a positive sense. Here is the definition: sharply critical; cutting; snide (Mac dictionary). Pleasant thoughts, no? And now that I think about it, snide does the same thing! Sounds great but does not invoke encouraging thoughts. Bummer!
