An Isaacism

Okay, I had to share this with everyone. I was reminded about it the other night by Leanna and thought ya'll would get a kick out of it. If any of you know Isaac very well, you know that he has the ability to really make you laugh with his comebacks. So let me set the scene for you..... Isaac was sitting at the kitchen table. We were trying to get out of the door for school and his mouth was hurting from getting his braces. (The kind of hurt where you can't touch your teeth or they might fall out..at least that is how it feels.) I did not have any more "children's" motrin so I was trying to get him to take a pill. The conversation goes like this....

Matt: Isaac, why don't you just swallow a pill?
Becca: I have been trying to get him to swallow pills for years and he gags on them.
Isaac: (whiney) It is too hard to swallow.
Matt: How is that, it is a tiny little pill, throw it in your mouth swallow some liquid.
Isaac: Dad, it is not that easy.

So Isaac proceeds to show Matt just how hard it is to do...after the pill has faded to white from the liquid in his mouth.....

Becca: Isaac, good grief, what in the world is the problem! It is JUST NOT that hard. Just throw the pill in there and swallow some water...you wont even feel it in your mouth. I mean really.....Even, Wyatt Bridges, who is in kindergarten can swallows pills!

and Isaac says: Well, tell him congratulations!

And off he went to school with no Motrin and a hurting mouth!

THE END!

AAAARGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Okay don't pass out that I am actually posting sooo soon after my last, but I could not pass this up. Grace went to the fair with Mimi, Ben, Sam, Noreen Marvets and Tanner Marvets last night. She got home and a bug had gotten in her eye. Well, as some of you know, she does not take to ANY injury very well. She has not figured out how to "shake it off" or well, keep her misery to herself. Is that really bad of me? Hmmmmm. I'll do some soul searching later.
Anyways, girls are soooo much more sensitive than boys. We ended up going to see our favorite doctor in the world (besides Dr. Dryden), Dr. Yeiser. Well, she has two fairly large abrasions on her eyeball. I felt bad. FOR A SECOND! until I had to put the ointment and eye patch on her eye!!! Leanna can relate...it was like getting a splinter out of Sam's foot. TOTAL HYSTERIA!
We made it through, meaning the rest of us. And Grace is fine also. She made it and as you can see, Is not very happy but is still living. Shewwwww! All is well in the Snider household...at least until tomorrow when we have to do it again. Say a prayer for me!
