....Sister Sister

Sorry it's lengthy.

Rewind to after dinner last night while walking to the car with Lizzy.

We walk out of the restaurant laughing & cracking jokes while climbing into the car. I'm standing in front of the driver's door about ready to climb in when all I hear is Lizzy saying, "Dwina. Dwina. DWIIINNAA" What the heck does she want? Then I hear him.

"Excuse me, Miss? Miss, excuse me"

I turn around to see this creepy looking man walking towards me.

"Excuse me. Please, can you help me? I need money for a bus" as he's walking closer.

I grab my wallet cuz there's no time to just grab money, step out from the door & close it shut.

"Please, I need help. Help me"

*BEEP* I push the alarm & lock Lizzy in the car.

"Please, I need money. Can you help me? I really need to catch a bus" as he comes closer.

Now I'm thinking where the heck are you Mom?!

"I only have a dollar, so you can have it. Sorry it's all I have"

"Oh. Well thank you Miss. I mean, this weekend has been awful & I need money to take a bus. I'm just....15 cents short"

"Sorry, but that's all I have"

"Are you sure? I'm only 15 cents short for a bus"

"Yes, I gave you the only dollar I have"

Mind you, it costs $1.50 to take the bus & the man was holding a dollar before I gave him mine, which means he had $2.00. That's 50 cents more than what it costs. I could have put him on blast for that, but did I? No.

"Really, I'm just 15 cents short for a bus" and he steps closer.

"That's all I have. Really. I'm sorry" as I'm getting prepared to deck the guy if he comes any closer.

"It's just, it''s been a rough weekend & I just want to go home & I need money for the bus. I'm just 15 cents short"

Finally, Mom comes out of the restaurant. Hallelujah! He realizes we're not alone & says, "Well uh thank you"

"You're welcome, have a good weekend"

"Haha it hasn't been a good weekend, but sure"

We climb into the car & head home. The entire way home I didn't think about how creepy that guy was, but instead, I was thinking about how I locked my sister in the car. If this guy was going to do something, I wasn't going to let him get to her. He was going to get a nice punch in the face before anything happened to her. Yes she's my little sister- we fight & annoy one another, but I'm going to do anything to protect her. That hit me last night & I wanted to cry. We may not always be the best of friends, but I guarantee you I will take a beating before my sister gets hurt. But knowing her, she's strong & tough so it's the other person I worry about if she ever has to defend herself ;)

....Skype

Sometimes "adults" say the darnest things too. 
Exhibit A while on skype with the boys:


C- I saw my wife today.
J- Yeah she looks like me, but a girl.
(a little while later when we skype again that night)
Me- So she looks like you, but is a girl?
J- Yeah. She's got a Y chromosome & X chromosome.
Me whispering to Lizzy- Wait, isn't that for guys?
L, L & J- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

....Kids Say The Darnest Things

I'm lucky enough to get the privilege to teach primary at church & let me tell you, it is one of the greatest callings out there! The kids are hilarious. Rowdy at times- yes, but that just means there is never a dull moment with them. I love it. Today for instance, our sharing time was based on holding to the Iron Rod. After Chylen was blindfolded I hear Jeremy, "He looks like a bandit! EVERYBODY RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" I could not stop laughing. That boy is a comedian in the making!

....Put Another Candle On The Birthday Cake!

Today is Sheryl's birthday! Sweet sixteen :) Pretty too, huh? Stalkers feel free to find her on facebook, she likes that haha jokes. She may or may not be taken so if you wanna know, try to find her & ask her yourself ;) She's intelligent, funny & we love to eat together. It's a weakness, we know. We have 65+ reasons for why we are best friends and counting....Feliz Cumpleaños!

We have mucho fun-o together 

...Now What?

I've been getting a kick out of my cousin's blog lately and well obviously, I've been sucked in! But now what? Please, just bear with me as I figure out how to work this thing correctly haha. Until then, why don't you relax and enjoy a cookie or two, maybe three....alright four. Don't worry, I won't judge you.
