At times, when you are a parent, you realize that your child is awesome. This is an amazing time in your life, but sometimes, when things get squirrely, you aren’t quite sure if you should be proud, or if you should start looking for a padded room. (or at least sleep with one eye open)
You guys know that my eldest daughter has a wicked sense of humor! Let me show you what I mean. Randomly one day she turns to me and said (on a side note; my eldest was given a swift kick in the butt and quick lesson on PLAGIARISM for thinking this was her idea(sigh) now that is a whole OTHER blog post all together):
Mom, when I have kids I think these are the names I am going to give my kids:
Stacy: Because I will be Stacy’s mom and got it going on
Narnia: So I can give her gifts and say “For, Narnia!!!”
Luke: So my husband can say “Luke, I am your father!”
Sparta: That way when I introduce him I can say “This is SPARTA!!!!!”
You get the basic drift of what I am dealing with here. Today we had another little bit of humor from my 13 year old. It all started with the arrival of a package!
To prepare for our vacation to Minnesota, before we moved here, so I ordered some new windshield wipers. They arrived at the door. I grabbed them and went back to working. A little bit later my eldest daughter comes up and shows me her latest “art” project. Let’s just say, the smart butt in me was laughing hysterically, because only MY child would take something as simple as an Amazon delivery to such hilarious heights.
My Kids Sense of Humor
Then the practical side of me, begins to wonder, is she secretly plotting for total world domination. If so, am I part of this plan or part of the foes to be defeated? I really hope that if she is on the track to total world domination that she remembers that her wicked kids sense of humor comes from me, and of course that has to have done something to get her to the top!
Disclaimer: For those truly concerned, despite being wickedly funny my daughter is no need for counselling. She is quite the well centered 13 year old, despite the raging horomones.

LOL! This is so funny! Love her!

This is funny! I have these moments too. I love the names. The bomb thing, well I can’t say much because I have two boys that try to make guns out of fingers, sticks and legos. While I try my best to discourage it I think it’s part of being a kid. It does sound like you have your hands full though. 🙂

My middle child is a boy, and after being a mom to two girls only for 6 years it was definitely a huge adjustment!
Mary says
You sound like you’re doing a great job, your kids sound awesome!:)
Crunchy Frugalista says
Thanks, so much Mary. I know they are at least 1/2 awesome ;).
Dawn Lopez says
Lol! Certainly keeps things fun around your house! Hilarious!
Crunchy Frugalista says
Yes, she definitely keeps me on my toes.
Emily says
Hilarious! Kids are just so funny! Sometimes yes, it can be frightening. I think it’s important to help our kids have a sense of humor.
Crunchy Frugalista says
Life is not life without a sarcastic wit and a mean sense of humor 🙂
Shannon (The Mommy-Files) says
You’re doing a great job mom. Just keep showing her love and talk to her about her drawings and what they mean to her.
Crunchy Frugalista says
Thanks! She just has a weird sense of humor. I have no idea where she gets that from. She’s about the most non-violent child I know so as long as it’s just silly humor we’re all good 😉
Isra {TheFrugalette} says
She’s hilarious! That is really a great sense of humor!
Jenna Wood says
Too cute….Be sure to inspect any suspicious packages!
Ashley Sears says
Yeah, first thing I asked her was if I needed to be worried haha
Jennifer Pierce says
So funny..I am a SAHM of 4, 1 girl 3 boys, and I definitely can relate to most of this. Last month my kids lost their great grandma and my 3yr old says “Do you think Grand Mommy will get to meet Michael Jackson?” I almost peed myself. LOL
Ashley Sears says
OMG, that is TOO funny! Don’t kids say the darndest things. Keiran’s sense of humor, well, I have NO idea where she gets it from (dripping with sarcasm ;))
Kristyn says

Jadey Sam says
Hahhaaha she must be fun to be around with.
Little Miss Kate says
Love it! I bet she is fun.
Ashley Sears says
Oh she definitely keeps me on my toes. I have NO idea where she gets her sense of humor from 😉
