I am surrounded by the funniest people. I love a good sarcastic comment, or wrongly used word, or sometimes even a made-up word. That’s What She Said is a monthly round-up of all the things I’ve heard that have made me giggle.

That’s What She Said:  Libby

Libby met a new Chinese friend recently at a fundraiser for Zeke and Lisa’s adoption.  As they were going over the rules of a new game they were going to play, Libby looked sweetly and him and said “Do you understand what we are saying?”  Him, being Chinese born but raised in the USA, replied confusedly, “Yes, why?”. “She looked at him and said “Well because you are…..skinny!”  Good catch, Lib.

That’s What She Said:  Kyndall

“Mama, this tree is the greatest.  Just the greatest.  It holds our tire swing, it holds BOTH our hammocks.  I hope it never falls.”

That’s What She Said: School

On Inauguration Day, I had a student in the library who was in a big hurry.  She wanted to check out her books and get back to class before President Trump was sworn in.  She said, “I really don’t want to miss this.  I’ve never seen an inauguration before.  Because when President Obama was sworn in, I was dead!”  You know, since she wasn’t alive yet, she was dead.

That’s What (HE) Said:  Justin

The girls have been begging to go eat at Stevi B’s pizza for months now. (Sidenote:  If you’ve never had Stevi B’s, you should!)  One day, they were being extra whiny and complaining about how long it had been since we had eaten there.  Justin, very seriously, turns to them and says “Do you know how long it’s been since kids in Ethiopia had Stevi B’s?”  Parenting comment, WIN.

That’s What (HE) Said:  Jase

Kyndall has been “training” Jase for weeks now to say that she is awesome and everyone else is poop.  Sometimes, that backfires for her.
