Well, it's not really funny, but you might find it humorous... I was on the bus the other day, and I was the only passenger, except for a little girl (7ish) who was obviously there with the driver. So after a little bit, I said, "Is this your granddaughter?" I regretted it as soon as I'd said it, because it turned out he was her dad! He said, jokingly, something like, "That's the biggest insult I've ever gotten." I felt so bad... now that I look back at it, he didn't look terribly old, but he had grey hair, and he didn't look 30 either ;) So I've vowed to never again say anything like that -- even if the person is wrinkled from head to toe, I'm going to ask if it's their child! That way, at least, if I'm mistaken, they'll be flattered instead of insulted ;)
I bought some rubber bands for Kahlayla's hair the other day, and we've been having fun experimenting with "hair ponies" (Isaiah told Kahlayla he liked her "hair ponies" the other day at the fair). Well Kahlayla was conducting an experiment if her own the other day. I saw her walking around chewing so of course I asked "what have you got?" she responded by digging a slobbery little rubber band out of her mouth, and I exclaimed, "don't eat that!" then I took it away and put on the table while I proceeded to do dishes. A couple of minutes later Kahlayka walked up to me and poke poked me. When she had my attention she pointed to her mouth with a worried look on her face and said, "I eat that!"

Haha! Did it leave an aftertaste? Or was she wanting to eat it again?
