Slipper Doesn't Fit...

Kids say the funniest things, but very rarely do we document them. I have a friend who often blogs the funny things her children say, not that I want to copy her blog but I love the idea. Now she has a younger child (3) and an older child (10) and most of the funny things said are from her younger child, so I am cutting myself some slack because I have all older kids (16-11 almost 12, and 9) so they don't say all the cute funny things that the smaller kids say. But I am going to start sharing with you the funny things they do say. So here goes:

On Saturday last week I took the kids and ran to Wal-Mart to do some shopping, we were there mainly looking for Homecoming shoes for Kate as Homecoming is this weekend. Anyway we didn't find a single suitable pair Homecoming shoes, so we were just browsing in the shoe section when I came upon this really cute pair of white flip-flops. (This is probably the point that I should tell you that my two younger boys hate to shop, especially for shoes. Plus I had told them that as soon as we were done looking at shoes, I wanted to pop by the music section for a CD and then we would go home. So the boys were patiently or shall I say not so patiently waiting for Kate and I to finish looking at the shoes.) OK those of you that know me also know I LOVE flip-flops...love...love...LOVE them. So, I look at the shoe size and thank you God they are a 6 1/2 which is what I wear. I have a very wide foot, and these flip-flops were cut kind of narrow, but hey trying on is free.

I am sitting in the middle of the aisle trying to shove my fat foot into this little (but very cute) flip-flop when Matthew (my comedian and crazed Disney fan) walks over and says:

"Sorry, Cinderella, but the slipper doesn't fit. Now can we catch the coach to go home before it turns back into a pumpkin because it is almost 12?"

I actually dropped the shoe because I was laughing so hard. I pulled out my phone and looked at it and sure enough it was about 2 minutes til noon. He is just too funny sometimes!

Love to all...
