June Family Funnies

Welcome to the June 20, 2008 edition of family funnies, which I thank all of the participants who had a cute and/or funny post about families for submitting. Enjoy these bits and pieces of family life that will make you smile and say, “Next time I should submit my story to the July 2008 Family Funnies!” Or something like that. Anyway, read and enjoy.

Family Humor

Toni Patton presents Mom, How Italian Am I???? posted at thekiddieclique.com, saying, “No matter what day it is there is always something that makes me laugh.” I agree. (Most days, there are just as many things that make me want to scream but let’ s focus on the positive.)

Tony Chen presents “Nicky’s stuck to Regent Street” posted at Savvy Daddy, saying, “Yup, this doesn’t just happen in the movies. Here’s a true story about a young boy licking a frozen pole in the middle of winter.” This reminds me of the little boy in that movie “A Christmas Story.” – Very cute.
