My kids don't understand weather. Or God.
- Kids: It's snowing!
- Me: Yeah, great.
- Kids: Is it Christmas today?
- Me: It doesn't have to Christmas in order for it to snow. It just has to be cold enough.
- Kids: Wow, God DOES love us!
- Me: Think I'll get some works done.
- Kids: I bet we can make dad want to schedule a vasectomy today!
- Me: You win kids.
Me and Dishwashing Machine

- Dishwasher Machine: SWISH SA-WOOSH SWISH SA-WOOSH GRRRRRRRGLE

- Me: Oh, dishwasher machine. . . What would I do without you?
- 6yo: Can you wipe me!
- Me: Sure, hang on. Oh, hey what's this spilled on the floor? Is this water or juice or something?
- 6yo: I don't know.
- Me: (Rubbing the spill with me fingers) Well what the hell is this?
- 6yo: I had diarrhea.
- Me: (throwing up into my own brain) oh.
