Ghostly Adventures,,

I was on a road trip to Georgia, my brother was driving and my son Devon was in the back seat.  

To kill time and our boredom, I downloaded a ghost hunting app that records EVP's. (it lets you hear what spirits are saying) 

So I opened the app and my brother started to ask questions; "Is anybody here with us?", "What's your name?", etc. 

After about the third question we got a very creepy, whisper of a voice say "Help Me!"  My brother Kevin looked at me with bewilderment in his eyes and asked me if the app was real.  I said "I don't know, let me ask a question".  

I proceeded to ask "Who is driving the car right now?" Again a creepy, whisper of a voice said thru the app "Keeeevin". 

My brother and I looked at each other with jaws dropped. I screamed out "Oh my God!" and begin immediately deleting the app out of shear panic while my brother began screaming to me "Get the app back!"  "Do it again, I want to talk to it!!!"

I was yelling at my brother, he was yelling at me and then in the background a slight giggle became audible.  My brother and I slowly looked into the back seat and saw my son now in a full fledged cackle, cracking up at us. 

He said "uuum  that was me, I was just messing with you guys. Ha Ha Ha!!! oooh my gosh, that was soo funny! "

I don't know who wanted to hurt him the most LOL... silly us for being so gullible.

Funniest Mom on the Block

So last nite around 7:30, my son asked if he could go outside to talk to a couple of his friends.

It was already getting dark but I allowed it and told him he could have 30min.

At the 40 min mark, I called him on his cell and told him to come inside.

At the 50 min mark, I texted him to get his behind in the house. He texted in response "Neeevaaaaah! :)"

At the 55 min mark, I opened the door yelling for him to get in the house and his friends who were in my driveway scurried away laughing as he ran past me and inside the house.

"Devon?" I asked, "What exactly was that about?"

He replied "We were waiting outside the door for you to come out and yell at me, I was purposely not coming in"

"And why exactly would you do that?" I asked.

And through his own laughter, he says  "Cause my friends think it's funny when you come outside mad at me, you get red and your face has the funniest look on it, it's just funny"

"Well" I replied, "I'm glad I could be a source of amusement for you and your friends!"

"Aaah" he sighed "You always are mom, your the funniest mom on the block!" 

Glad to know these kids are taking us adults seriously these days...

Don't touch the remote!

We were in the living room watching TV together.  

My son was on the loveseat and I was on the couch when I got up to get a drink from the kitchen.   

The dog jumped on the couch and sat on the remote inadvertently changing the channel to a station that was playing a Victoria Secret commercial.  

Devon yells “YES!” 

I look at the TV and see the half naked model in her undies and so I run from the kitchen to get the remote so that I may quickly change the channel.  

As I do, Devon dives onto the couch shielding the remote with his body yelling “Yes! Boobs!”  

Hey Victoria! … it’s no longer a secret, thanks a lot.

You're a Wooty!

The other night we were preparing to go out to my son's basketball awards ceremony when I came downstairs and asked "Son, do I look okay?

He smiled at me with a sweet and endearing look on his face and replied "Mom, you look beautiful.  You're a wooty."

"Devon?" I asked "What in the heck is a wooty" to which he matter-of-factly responded "A white girl with a booty!"


"Devon!" I exclaimed, "that is totally inappropriate!" and as much as I tried to keep a straight face I could not hold back my giggle and gave in "But awe... that is so sweet!" 

Kids know how to make your day!
