Funny Friday

Today’s post is May’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is  collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below, click on them and see what they’ve come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

“Engineer” to the guy laying on the tracks:

1. “You may be bigger but guess who’s smarter.”
2. “This’ll teach you to steal my cheerios.”
3. “Has this thing got turbo?”
4. “You should have known this day was coming when Mom bought me the train and you the tracks.”
5. “Let’s play Survivor Living Room.”

      Choosing the picture was a little bittersweet, but I did smile a lot as I went through them.

      Yeah, as I recall the one driving the train was fine but I probably had to bribe the other to lay on the tracks.

    This picture pretty much sums up everything we know about raising boys. If I had to submit a picture of my sons, the youngest would be chasing the oldest through the house with a dirty plunger. Or a live cockroach. Boys will be boys

      Yuck, I think I'll take a train over a dirty plunger or a live cockroach. Although I'm not surprised that you can relate.

    Your boys were so cute... I don't know what they look like now, so I can't compare, but totally adorable! I have a feeling my brothers would have gladly posed for this picture when they were younger. :)

      I can't get over how much my boys have changed. They're still cute, of course, just in a grown young man kinda way.

    That's one of my fav salads. My gal's mom makes something similar when we have BBQ's.

    Kids. They do have fun. Wish I was a kid again.
