Cruise winner

No no, it's not a cruise you win...
While I was gone on my cruise, I asked for some funny things to be sent that would make me laugh for when I arrived home because I knew it would stink coming back to reality and I needed some good entertainment.
Thanks for all the submissions. You guys are great. They were all funny...some of them I had heard or seen before. But I think the winner is going to be Jylaire!
She had me cracking up because her daughter is such a character. I LOVE kid quotes. Seriously, kids say the funniest things. This is what Jylaire shared with me:
(her daughter is London, who is 3)
"I have a cute story that I thought was super funny, but I am the mom, so I'm partially biased. A couple of months ago, London was in the shower with me and playing with a couple of tub toys I'd thrown in. She started really bugging me because she was putting this little cup right under my bum and filling it with all the run-off water. I asked her to stop, so she moved the cup right between my legs. (I know, not a great visual.) I asked her again to stop and she said she couldn't. I asked her why and she replied,"Mom, I'm just gathering tree sap for the pygmy marmosets." What, I said? "Mom I'm the only one who can help them, so I really need to gather lots and lots of tree sap." (she got the idea from watching Diego) Who can argue with helping out an animal in danger? I guess it's good that she has an imagination!"
Thanks Jylaire!
I have known Jylaire for quite awhile...we went to school together and I always loved her. Except for when she moved in during Jr high and was the "new cute girl" that we were all worried about stealing our boyfriends!!
She is such a sweetheart though.
She is genuine, funny, smart, beautiful, and I am so glad I can have her as my friend.
Anyways...I will be sending you a fun surprise! I have your address already, so no need to send it. I think you might be out of town right now...checking out Puerto Rico!!??
Good luck with that!
love ya
I'll leave you all with another funny quote by London that Jylaire posted on her blog.
Too dang cute!
On Saturday afternoon, we were headed to our nephew's 3rd birthday party in Riverton. We were trying to listen to the afternoon session of conference in the car, but London kept interrupting us. Matt asked her to listen for words she knew.
Just then she yelled, "he said Holy Ghost!"
Matt: That's right!
London: Daddy, what does the Holy Ghost look like?
Matt: Well, sort of like Heavenly Father.
London: Is he as big as you?
Matt: Yep!
London: Well I think he's really a bird! (She's singing a song in primary that compares the holy ghost to a dove)
Matt: Well, he can be everywhere, just like a bird.
London: Could he even be in our house?
Me: Of course he can. We want him to be everywhere that we are, London
London: Really! He can come to our house? I've always wanted a pet!

haha--kids say the funniest things! That little girl is a cutie! I'm glad you had fun stuff to read after your cruise. I bet you were totally bombarded with messages/e-mails/blogs. Hope you've got it all under control now--that could be overwhelming! =)
