Wombat Sticks to the Classics

Relevant to recent events, Robert has told Sarah that tonight her story will be one he knows entitled "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"...

Robert: And I will make it special! and modern! And cool!

Sarah: Please don't, Daddy.

Polygon Wombat

At dinner tonight we were discussing what Sarah learned at school.

Me: So what is a shape with 5 sides?
Sarah: A pentagon!
Robert: And what is a shape with 8 sides?
Sarah: An octagon!
Robert: And what is a shape with 6 sides?
Sarah: *looks shocked and shakes her finger at Robert*. Daddy! we do NOT talk about that shape at school.


I'm confused too.

Competent Wombat

"If I didn't get boo boos and scrapes, I'm not doing a very good job of being a kid."

Grammatical Wombat

While cleaning her room:

Sarah: Mommy, look how much books I can carry!
Me: *corrects* How MANY books you can carry.
Sarah: This many!

Unfinished Wombat

I found this in my drafts. I guess I never finished it - must have been called away. I wish I could remember how it ends...


I was showing Sarah a new game online. She was all set up and playing just fine for a few minutes till...

Sarah: Mommmmmy it's not working!
Me: Oh, just let go then try again..

A minute later...

Sarah: Mommmmy...it's not working!
Me: No, see you're doing it!
Sarah: Oh.
Me: Apparently it works when I'm looking!

A minute later...

Farmer Wombat

"Mommy, are pancakes in season?"

Awesome Wombat

It's Friday night..we're watching music videos.

My daughter is jumping, shaking her hair, and playing air guitar to Bon Jovi's "It's My Life".

Admit it. That's awesome.
