To Match or Not to Match

Yesterday when I went into Parker's classroom to be "the mom" during their math explanation session I noticed Parker's purple and grey plaid shorts and blue shirt and thought, "I should take the time to notice my kids clothes in the morning before we leave for school.  Of course I forgot about the mismatched clothes until this morning when I overheard him explaining to Randy that a kid in his class never matches.  Parker must have asked him why he never matches.  The kid told him it was fun to not match.  Parker decided to try it out yesterday.  He found out it is not any more fun to not match than it is to match.  Today, his outfit make more sense. 

Funny Funnies

The kids found joke books at the library today.  Parker was reading jokes on the car ride home.  "Did you hear about the cannon ball who was expelled from school?  He was buttering up his teacher."  "Why did the cannon ball eat the tightrope walker?  He wanted a balanced meal."

I asked what cannon balls have to do with these jokes.  Parker was confused himself and started to question if he was misreading the word.  Let's insert cannibal in for cannon ball and it all makes a little more sense, except that then I had to explain to my kids what a cannibal is.
