A whole fat quarter!?!?!? WOW! Thanks for the giveaway. Hmmmm, something funny... how about the time I spilled coffee all over my desk at work. I tried to act super cool and nonchalantly clean it up. No big deal until a week later when we had to move desks. I went to pick up my computer monitor... and no joke.... it was GLUED to my desk. I had to ask for help to get it off. Try to explain that one to somebody!!!! Thanks.

I think this poem is funny. It always cracked my son up when he was young.

Snowball
by Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for its head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first -- it wet the bed.

I definately need to win this! This is a true story that happened last weekend. It is not funny! There will be no laughing from you...pinky promise right? Okay so now that you have made a pinky promise, this is what happened. I was watching TV at 10pm, when I heard a car horn going off and thought what rude neighbors I have. About five minutes later I heard the horn again and then my sleepy husband runs out of the bedroom exclaiming the bear is attacking the less then a year old car! Huh? So i hurry out to the deck and yes indeed, the bear climbed into my car, through the open window to get to my sons teethign bisuits that I left in ti. Yup, It was the bear blowing the car horn! There even was a butt print over on the passenger window from it! As you can imagine, my car is scratched and the leather seats torn up. I did put my sewing skills to use by reconstructing the driver seat leather the best I could and duct taped the foam seating back together so at least I could drive it until the new seats which are costing a fortune come in. I want to figure out how to change up the traditional bear paw block to make it a middle finger sticking up :) You can laugh now.

One day my 4 year old grandson and my husband were discussing buying something (for the grandson of course)and my husband asked him how he would buy it. Of course he told him with money. My husband asked if he had any money and he (such a little grown up) said of course. Hubby asked where was it and little 4 year old points at hubby's pocket and says 'In your pocket'

I love fun blogs like this--definitely a follower now! When my grandsons (7, 5, and 2 years old) come for their weekly visits, I usually end up asking one of them "how you doing in there" when they disappear in the bathroom. Last week my two-year-old grandson asked me "how you doing grandma?" when I went in the bathroom. Totally cracked me up (maybe you had to be there-or not)! Love those boys!

Those adorable pickles in your title pic make me want to sew up some felt pickles and taunt my spouse with them (he's not a fan of pickles and doesn't like being reminded of that fact).

Ashley said...

Such a cute giveaway!!! Thank you for a chance to win. My husband emailed me a very funny joke the other day it is a little long hopefully I can tell it without butchering it.

An old man in his 80's bought a speedy new corvette. Out on the highway he decided to see how fast he could take it. He had it up to 90 and saw a state trooper. As this might be his last time in a car this fast he floored it and after a few minutes pulled over. The officer said sir my shift ends in 30 minutes give me a good reason as to why you were speeding and i will let you go. The old man thought a moment and said... many years ago my wife ran off with a state trooper and I thought you were trying to bring her back. The officer smiled and said good day sir.

Hope you guys got a good laugh out of that! Thanks again!!

Ashley said...

I made a baby quilt with these prints a few years ago, and now that we're expecting a baby of our own, I'd love the chance to make another one! Thanks for the giveaway!

rockchikcassie said...

so we are driving down the road one day and my 3(at the time) year old got really serious all of a sudden. He looked at my husband and said "Dada, dragons eat people." Dada said "ya, I guess they do" and laughed. This laughter seemed to irritate my son and he replied with "Dada, dragons eat you!" We both busted out laughing. It really was pretty funny as it came out of nowhere and he was stone cold serious. He was convinced that dragons eat people and they were coming for Dada!

Awesome giveaway, by the way!!!

Amy said...

I used to teach 3rd grade and once a week a 1st grade class visited so my kids could read aloud to them. Sometimes we'd play hide n seek where my kids would hide and the 1st graders had to find them. So one day the 1st graders came, found their buddies, and everyone settled down to read. I headed back to my desk and started graded papers. A few minutes later:
"Hey, Miss H.!" I look up. Nobody. I look around. Nobody.
I look down. At my feet. Under my desk.
"Hey, Miss H. I had a great spot... they haven't found me yet!"
From that day on I never forgot to check before I sat down. :o)

This is from a real conversation:
Mom: This chicken is 5 days old is it still okay to eat?
Daughter: I wouldn't eat it.
Dad: I've had food poisoning before and it was awful.
Mom: Did you die?
(at this point in time Dad & daughter are laughing so hard they can't talk, and Mom is laughing so hard she has tears rolling down her cheeks)

We took my son kayaking this weekend, he is 30.
While we were resting on a beach, he saw a crab crawling in the water and said he was going to pick it up.
I said, it will bit you, and did he listen? NO, and did he get bit, YES!
And to think he is my son, lol.

I love this fabric, perfect for charity quilts for kids.

I think the funniest thing I can think of is something I said to three kids once. They walked up to me as I was trying to set up a game of touch football.
kid #1: The three of us are the stronges.
kid #2 & 3: Yep.
kid #1: He knows Kung fu, I know Karate and He knows Tai Kwan Doh.
ME: I know the bath, soup and about fifty more dangerous words.
Kids proceed to run away leaving me laughing.

My youngest sister used to tell this when she was 4 years old, many years ago. We never knew where she 'got it' or why she thought it was so funny. Today, she still laughs at the 3 seals in a bath tub.

One said, pass the soap.
Another said, what do you think I am a typewriter?

I love this fabric!

WHen I was in third grade, I suddenly had to throw up. I took off running toward the door, but unfortunately, we were in a double classroom so the door was faaaaar away.

Next thing I know, I'm laying on the floor with my feet against the door in a pile of my own puke. The room was silent.

Then someone said "It smells like Cheerios in here".

Go ahead. You're allowed to laugh at me. :)

That would make an adorable baby quilt! You probably had to be there but this incident made my husband and me crack up. We were busy, busy Saturday running from store to store looking for some clothes for a wedding the kids are going to be in. We got some drive-thru food at Wendy's. My 2-year-old's (he's a carnivore) chicken nuggets ran out and he was having a fit in the car because he wanted more. I knew my 6-year-old still had one chicken nugget left so I asked him to please share it with his brother. He whined about how he was going to eat it, etc. Since I knew he still had fries left, I said, "Would you please sacrifice the chicken nugget for your brother?" Very plaintively, my 6-year-old said, "But I don't know how to sacrifice."

An Amish lady was stopped by a Police Officer...

"I'm not going to cite you," said the officer. "I just wanted to warn you that the reflector on the back of your buggy is broken and it could be dangerous."

"I thank thee," replied the Amish lady. "I shall have my husband repair it as soon as I return home."

" Also," said the officer, "I noticed one of your reins to your horse is wrapped around his testicles. Some people might consider this cruelty to animals so you should have your husband check that too."

"Again I thank thee. I shall have my husband check this when I get home."

True to her word, when the Amish lady got home, she told her husband about the broken reflector.

He said he would put a new one on immediately.

"Also," said the Amish woman, "the policeman said there was something wrong with the emergency brake.

As a lot of young boys do (8 or 9) my son Asa used to pick up catch phrases that he would use to death. For a while, he was always talking about "my big floppy ears" even though his ears are perfect, lol. My way of dealing with those things was to ignore them and hope they'd go away. So one day I was driving him home from school and saw a friend in a passing car, so I waved at her. Asa said "who you waving at, Mom?" and for some crazy reason, I answered "I'm waving at your big floppy ears, Ace". And without missing a beat, he answered "Well, they're waving back!". LOL. I laughed so hard I had to pull the car to the side of the road.

Lindsay said...

I'm terrible at this game (I'm more of a long drawn out funny story person in real life, which translates to not being very funny online), but a funny thing that happened recently is my husband called the person in front of him at McDonald's an idiot because they were driving stupidly, so now everytime we drive down that street (one of the main ones in our city, where our grocery store and library are), my 2 year old loudly shouts that there was an "ijit" at McDonalds when he went with Daddy. We have to try really hard not to crack up because it is so cute-I guess the obvious obliviousness as to what that means makes it funny?

My 15 month old is learning how to talk, and I've been trying to teach her animal sounds. I was so excited when I asked her "what does a doggy say", and she replied "boof boof". Then I asked her what birdies say, "boof boof", same for kitties, and so on.

Ok. So I was a 24 year old high school English teacher. I was 6 months pregnant and ran to the bathroom between class periods. I was running late for class as the bell was about to ring, so I ran out of the bathroom as soon as I finished.... doing what I was doing.... and walked all the way down the hallway in a crowd of teenagers before I realized I had tucked my skirt into my underwear! I gave all the kids a show that day. It's ok though. We used my shame as a writing prompt!

A great story about my two year old. I couldn't find my keys one day. My two year old kept saying "pee pee" so I thought she needed to use the restroom. I was turning the house upside down and it wasn't until I took her to the bathroom that I found my keys in the toilet where she put them.

Dang it, I'm bad at jokes! Let me think... as a child my favorite was the knock knock joke where the "banana" answers three times and then the fourth time you say, "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?" Sorry it's not too original, but it's all I've got! christina112358 at gmail dot com

I'm terrible at jokes and can't ever remember the funny things my kids do when I need to. So how about the joke that niece kept telling me (it's the only thing I can think of at the moment)?
What do you call cheese that's not yours?
Nacho cheese!

Not sure why it amused her so much, but her laugh made us laugh. :-)
Oh, what kids find funny....

Here's a terrible oldie... If you're American in the kitchen and you're Italian in the bedroom then what are you in the bathroom? European.

My 5 year old was just getting in trouble by my husband for talking back, and got a spanking. My son then proceded to tell my husband he was going to give him a spanking if he ever gave him another spanking. I had to leave the room so I wouldn't laugh.

The Tomato family was out walking and Little Tomato lagged behind. Daddy Tomato looked back and said, "Little Tomato, ketchup!"

My son loves my in-laws cats, but the cats don't so much love him. He's 3 and chases them all over the house non-stop. This past week we heard him saying to one of the cats, "I sorry for scaring you, kitty cat. I be nice. We be friends?" It gave us all a little chuckle.

A man and his dog walk into a bar. The man proclaims, "I'll bet you a round of drinks that my dog can talk."

Bartender: "Yeah! Sure...go ahead."

Man: "What covers a house?"

Dog: "Roof!"

Man: "How does sandpaper feel?"

Dog: "Rough!"

Man: "Who was the greatest ball player of all time?"

Dog: "Ruth!"

Man: "Pay up. I told you he could talk."

The bartender, annoyed at this point, throws both of them out the door. Sitting on the sidewalk, the dog looks at the guy and says, "or is the greatest player Mantle?"

My youngest son today while in the car couldn't do something because he was too small and he started crying and yelled out 'why can't I just be four' it made me smile.

So my 14yo daughter is doing some reading for school and she comes to a word she can't pronounce and says to me...."Mom, is "gnaws-stal-age-ee-a" a disease? Could not for the life of me figure out what word it was. I grab her book: nostalgia.

So a magician gets a gig playing a cruise ship, and he's really excited about it. Every night he puts on his show and does the best he can. Unfortunately, every night the captain sits in the front row with a parrot on his shoulder, and the parrot quickly catches on to his tricks. The parrots starts calling out, "it's up his sleeve!" "the girl has it", and so on. The magician hates that parrots.

After several days have gone by, the ship hits something and sinks. The magician is able to climb onto a piece of driftwood and the parrot lands on the other end. For two days straight the magician and the parrot glare at one another without saying a word. On the morning of the third day, the parrot finally says, "I give up. What did you do with the boat?"

Have a great day!

My son always has lots of jokes for us. One of his favorites is: A boy is riding in a car with his grandfather. The grandfather turns to him and says, 'Oh, no! I just made an illegal right turn!' The boy answers, 'That's ok, Grandpa. The cop right behind us just did the same thing!'

Thanks for the chance to win!

i teach preschool; right before school was out one of my little girls pointed to her eye and asked "Is my eye still there?" To which I said "yes" then I asked her "Why did you ask if your eye was still there?" her answer "I poked it" She was so serious it took a lot of concentration not to laugh out loud. She thought she had poked her eye our LOL

i was watching an old episode of mad men last night and i thought this was pretty funny :

A hillbilly knocks on the door of his new neighbor’s house.

"Howdy neighbor", he says. "In honor of you movin' in to the holler, I'm gonna throw a party. There's gonna be a whole lot of drinkin', a whole lot of dancin' and a whole lot of screwin'."

"Sounds like fun", the neighbor says..."what can I bring?"

Hillbilly replies, "You can bring anything you want; just gonna be you and me."

This is awful, but I cracked up anyhow, so here goes:
A little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp: "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep wittle wabbits?"

And the shopkeeper gets down on his knees, so that he's on her level, and asks: "Do you want a wittle white wabby or a soft and fuwwy bwack wabby or maybe one like that cute wittle bwown wabby over there?"

The little girl puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice: "I don't fink my pyfon really giveths a thit."

So I spent a year living in India while my beau completed his dissertation research. During the middle of a hot Gujarat summer (in which it's well over 100 most days... all day) our air conditioner broke, forcing us to sleep in the middle of our house with all the ceiling fans on and the kitchen door and porch door open in an attempt to get some air flow.

One night/very early morning we were watching baseball on TV while sprawled out on our makeshift bed... or rather I was watching baseball as my beau had fallen asleep! I heard a funny noise and looked to my right to see a little monkey watching baseball with me! There he sat, on his little monkey butt, with his legs extended out in front of him and his hands on his knees...

My 18 month old knows most of his animals but when you point to a monkey and ask him what it is he always says "Dada" and then giggles!

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class one day.

'In English', he said, 'A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.'

A loud voice from the back of the room piped up, 'Yeah, right.'

What a sweet giveaway! My husband suggested putting a quilting frame in our living room about 6 months ago.....I thought it would look too cluttered. Well the other day I told him not to say a "word" but I thought we should put up the frame in the living room.............he did very well.....for a while then said Gee I wish I had thought of that!

lovely fabric
I have a two year old son who is always cracking me up, so the other day, he got in trouble for something or other, I don't even remember, but he was sent to his room, and after a couple of minutes I hear him singing to himself: "I'm in trouble again... I'm in timeout...[gobbledygook singsongy stuff]...I have to be in timeout" My two year old was singing the blues!!! I couldn't believe it and wish like crazy I had been able to record it, but he would have stopped at soon as he saw me. Anyway, hope that makes others smile as much as me :)
Thanks for the great giveaway!

Awesome fabric line! The thing that cracks me up almost daily is that my 175 lb St. Bernard hates any sort of courier agency approaching the door and attempts to intimidate like none other, but if a pillow falls off the couch he runs to another room and hides. Ha! So much for security.

Here's a joke I got in an email a few days ago:

The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director how do You determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

Here is the three year old's version of a joke.
Knock knock?
Who's There?
Poop (laugh hysterically)
Poop who? (laughing even more hysterically)
Poop on your head.

He made that one up himself... lovely right?

I was in Target on Earth Day and they had a clerk at the door giving everyone a free reuseable bag and saying "Happy Earth Day!" As the two little old ladies ahead of me walked away, one said to the other, "Did she say it was Target's birthday?" Her friend assured her that yes, it was indeed Target's birthday!

A funny story about my 1.5 year old boy: The other day he woke up with one thing on his mind. Immediately after getting out of bed, he sat down in front of our dog to read him a book. A book about cats. :)

When my daughter was 3 we went to a playgroup. Her little friend tried to open the door, told my daughter it was locked. My daughter said I can open it. Went up to the door, and said "Abre!" I swear we didn't watch that much Dora!
