Anne just told me this:
"Last night, I walked down the hallway, past Nolan’s room. I looked in, and saw that he was in his bed, with the light off, snuggled up next to Riley [who sleeps on his bed — all 47 pounds of her.]
"I said, ‘Hey, pookie, are you going to sleep?’
"He looked up at me, and said, ‘No, mom, I’m just layin’ here.’ He paused for a second and added, ‘Here’s your sign.’"
I’m still laughing.

Brilliant!
that is *so* (and i think it deserves this moniker) totally hawesome. i just read that and rushed in to tell me wife 🙂
Nolan rules!
Smart ass kids. Why, in my day… bah… nevermind.
OK….that completely RAWKS and makes me smile! I can only hope that my 15-year-old son and I can continue to have the same relationship you have with your boys (yes…they’re your boys regardless of “step” status). Or maybe I hope you guys have the same relationship that I have with my son…um….er…whatever. You know what I mean.

It’s catching on. not what you expected to see “Last night, I walked down the hallway, past Nolan’s room. I looked in, and saw that…
I don’t get it. I get that Nolan rocks. I don’t get the “here’s your sign”. Am I slow or did I miss something?
I just saw that you won the World Series of Strip-Poker”. Congrats, and I hope those pants find a good home! 🙂
I had to Google it, too, Abbie.

I don’t get it either. I hope someone will enlighten us slowpokes…
Hmmm….. I think Anne’s questionable was reasonable. Plenty of people lie in bed in the dark. I know my little brother would lie in bed for hours before he would get to bed sometimes.
hehehehehe
Tho poor Nolan – I’m sure he’s thrilled now that all the world knows his Mom calls him Pookie. 😉
Dammit, I hate when there are internet jokes that I don’t know! That’s one more to add to the repertoire! 🙂
Dammit, and I just lost the game.
Go Nolan, go!!!
Thanx John for the link..I didn’t get it either 🙂
“here’s your sign” isn’t an internet joke per se. It’s from comedian Bill Engvall, part of the blue collar comedy tour. He says it after someone asks an obvious question. As in, “duh, here’s your stupid sign.”
I highly recommend him and Ron White, the only person who can make “tater salad” sound funny.
See, this is what happens. The kids that grow up with funny parents (even super dry humor) end up being the top comedians and entertainers. Your kids are destined to out-funny you, and that’s going to be the most rewarding feeling in the world. Damn, they’ve already got good timing!!11 🙂
Great post. LOL funny.
CONGRATS WIL!
On winning your strip poker tournament! How come you never mentioned this???

HAHAHAHA! That’s great! I sure hope my 10 year old daughter starts with that stuff, she sure gets it from me. My son is only 4, but a very evil 4, I know he will be saying stuff like that to me (and much worse). I can’t wait. Your kids rock my argyles.
kids quote the darnedest things 😛
LOL. Now that’s funny. You have a very funny kid there, Wil. That’s really cute. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be laughing about that for a while…
