Carnival of Kid Comedy #9
The Carnival is back in town!
Welcome to the First-timers. Thank you for joining us. Have fun!
- Melissa Wiley (who writes books about Laura Ingalls Wilder’s grandmother and great-grandmother!) sent in her husband’s post about their daughter’s Zappy Bike
- the Urban Homesteaders and Homeschoolers are Playing House with their new little ducklings - so sweet!
- Mrs. Happy Housewife, one of my daily reads, drops in with a cute quote from her son. So this is what happens when we expose our children to great literature from a young age.
Repeat visitors:
- a mom Raising4Boys tells about her sons’ grand discovery in the bathroom. They thought they found mom’s secret lollipop stash. I don’t know…sounds more like bottle rockets to me…
- Undercover Angel at My Life In The Kid Zoo reminisces about Invisible Zoo Kids. This one is an adventure fit for Calvin and Hobbes!
- the NerdMom treats us to A Snapshot of the NerdFamily, with a second helping here.
- From Kailani’s Pink Diary we have Here Comes The Bride. And I hope Kailani doesn’t mind, but here’s another fun post while you’re visiting her in Hawaii: Children’s Books You’ll NEVER See
- Our own Kittykait tells about Molars and maturity on her blog, Seven Silly Southern Sisters.
Season pass holders:
- Carrie from World’s Greatest Place to Live INSIDER is back, with Where is Nina?. We missed you last week, Carrie!
- Bruggie Tales brings us a double treat, when Clare tells them she let Jofus do it for her, and one of the little Bruggies gets mind-boggled!
- Principled Discovery submits Burial at the Seminary? Confusion in vocabulary leading to some reflection on public education.
Lost and Found: more carnival-worthy posts, lost in somebody’s blog, found by me.
- toddlerisms from The Cappuccino Life
- Invasion of the Invisible Bathroom Wreckers from Owl Haven
- Friday Funny - the Hot Pencil from Daddy’s Roses
- At Least I’m Trying… Read Shannon’s inspiring review of A Little Book of Manners for Boys
And here’s what I found lying about our house this week:
A few of the common phrases that take on a slightly different meaning when our younger children misunderstand and try to use them:
- Dollar Tree store (where everything is $1) becomes The Daughter Treat Store
- First aid kit becomes First Day kit (this is how you treat wounds on their first day)
- Bearing false witness becomes Bearing fault witness (bearing witness to one another’s faults?)
- Placemat becomes place map (ours have maps on them)
Does anyone have more of these they’d like to add to the list?
Next week’s Carnival of Kid Comedy will be hosted at My Life in the Kid Zoo - thanks to Undercover Angel!

Our four year old has recently taken to referring to Mount Everest as Mount Never-rest. Apparently it’s named for the fact that it’s really tiring to climb it.
My husband is the youth pastor of our church, and he was anouncing from the pulpet that someonw left a pair of keys in the ladies room, and one of the boys in the back who was about to be baptized said “there’s a parakeet in the ladies room?”
