I am so blessed to have three very independent, outspoken, sarcastic, and witty children. I am not altogether certain I can claim credit for how incredibly funny they often are but I will say that I do come from a line of pretty sarcastic Newtons and loud, gregarious Savages. It runs in the family---their Dad's family too! There is no way that they could spend a Christmas witnessing the barb-wire banter that takes place at a Newton family gathering to not somehow believe that the entire English language was meant to be spoken with anything less than dead-pan sarcasm. We love it, it's how we function, lovingly together. And my children have learned very early that to survive in this family, you have to have a thick skin and flawless delivery.
For a couple of years, I have been sharing little stories and tidbits of their hilarity within the 420 character limit of Facebook. We get lots of LOLs, ROFLs, & LMBOs for their antics. My friends always say I should write a book--ha--and that they hoped I was recording all of these funny moments for my kids. I don't know that we have enough to write a book but I thought, maybe a blog would be a fun way to help me record the fun things they say for posterity's sake. So here we go! And yes, I realize they will probably disown me one day for my candor.
So, please enjoy our posts. Since it is summer, I suspect that we will have far too much silliness to share!
