Bloggable Stories

I've decided I have some stories to tell that are worth blogging. The best ones have to do with cute little kids!

On Sunday I went to my home ward because it was Mothers Day. I decided that it would be fun (and nice of me) to help my mom with the Nursury. It was great. It reminded me of times of old. There is a durable plastic rocking horse there that I remember riding when I was in the nursury. I so wanted to ride it but the little kids didn't want me to, so I didn't. There was one kid who wanted me to read him a book made for little kids about farm equipment. The book had so many huge words in it and the kid had me read it ten times at least. He didn't listen all ten times but I had a different audience each time. Some of those kids in the nursury can throw very well too... one kid kept throwing a bean bag at me and he got better every time he did it. The cutest of all was the little girl who decided she liked my lap. She sat on my lap for at least an hour. She didn't want to play or do anything but sit on my lap. I would ask her if she wanted to go play with the other kids and she would reply with a cute "no." I could ask her anything and she would say no... but when I would ask her if she just wanted to sit on my lap she would say "yes". She said one or two times, "I want my mommy." I would tell her that her mom would come in a little while for her, and she would just sit there as cute as could be.

Yesterday at work I saw a guy who really wasn't thinking much. He rented a huge saw with one of those dangerous abrasive blades, and before he got in his truck he started it up to test it out. When he turned it off the blade kept spinning. He almost put the blade to his truck to stop it but decided that wouldn't be the best. Yeah... so what does he do to stop the blade... puts his foot into it! It's a good thing it didn't go through his shoe or anything like that. Smart people!

One of my co-workers thought he was funny telling me a "joke" about boards while I was restocking the 1X8's. He said, "Do you know why they call those boards?" I looked at him with that look that says, "Okay." He replied, "Wouldn't you be bored too if all you did was sit around all day?"

Today at work a little girl said the funniest things. I was helping a customer and he needed a piece of wood cut... so I went to the saw and did that. Meanwhile there was another customer and his daughter nearby. The little girl must have been about three. After I cut the wood she said, "Daddy, that's a noisy boy!" Her father replied, "Yep, just a little bit." She then said, "We don't need boys like him." Talk about funny. I had to run away so I could laugh! While I was leaving the scene I heard her father say something like, "Well that's a good boy, he helps people like us...." It was great. Little kids are cute!
