My Kids are Weird

My kids are weird. I know, many, many parents say that their kids are interesting or weird by the strange things that they do and say, but my kids are REALLY weird. OK, some people also get offended when I call my children weird, like I am giving them some horrible label that they will never rise above.

In our family, it is good to be weird. My husband is a very weird individual. Just one of his weird things is that he is a random fact generator. He is always coming up with something random, but factual, fact that one wonders where that even came from. He hates sports, which many people think is weird for a man. Instead of a sports widow, I am a computer game widow. World of Warcraft mostly.

Everyone who reads this blog knows me in one way or another, and I'm sure have many stories of my weirdness. I can't deny it, though I might (pretend to) try until I'm blue in the face. I actually love most of my weird characteristics.

So, the reason for my posting about my weird children, though I'm sure I will have more examples in the future, comes from our excursion to Sierra Vista yesterday. Martin and I had dental appointment so we had to keep the kids out of school and take them with us. We had just left the mall and we walking to Best Buy. Sydney came up with some random think out of that interesting brain of hers. I asked her if she thinks in her brain, "What is the weirdest thing that I could say right now?" before she says something. She said that she didn't think like that, she just said whatever might pop into her head. I continued on talking about the weird things that she says when all of a sudden she yelled, "shorty". We just happened to be walking by a row of small evergreen trees. There were probably five or six of them in this line. They were all obviously new additions to the area, because none of them were over three feet high. But one little was probably barely a foot high. Yep, while I'm going off about how weird she is, she proves it. She is odd.

These girls keep me laughing on a daily basis. I love my little weirdos.
