This post is a part of the Carnival of Family Life, at ManicMama’s.
No, this post isn’t about the wicked sinus infection/allergy/coldthatneverends I’ve been fighting for a month. It’s about the whiteboard on our refrigerator.
I bought a medium-sized whiteboard last year and it was so handy for reminders, grocery lists, and random comments, we decided to move the whiteboard to our new house.
D and I have been having a dry-erase argument on this whiteboard for a few weeks, and she reminded me the other day, that it was my turn. It took me a while to remember how, exactly, the “argument” started, and what side I was on. But she helped me to remember. This is how it went, over the course of about three weeks.
Me: I love you!
D: I love you more!
Me: That’s not possible!
D: It is too!
Me: It is not!
D: Is too!
Me: Is not!
D: IS TOO!
Me: IS NOT!
(D erases entire whiteboard and forgets which side she’s on. Covers entire surface with two-foot high letters…)
D: ISNOT!
Me: ISTOO!
D: ‘SNOT!
(How can I resist?)
Me: STEW!
Welcome to the allergy season.
Thank you all for your excellent ideas last week on my family out of sync posts. Looks like there’s hope for us after all…

Yep, we use our white board to leave notes for eachother all the time. It’s on a wall where you can see it as soon as you come in from the garage. It’s perfect. Everyone is now used to looking up there.

Oh. my. goodness! LOL! That’s too funny. I have a calendar whiteboard thing, so I’m not sure if I could have an argument on it. But maybe I’ll buy one just so I can. Heh. Ta for now dahling!

That is very sweet. More houses should have argumenets like that!

Remember that book that goes, “I love you to the moon and back”? My 4-year old and I could think of similar phrases before bedtime, and spend an hour doing so.
My favorite from my 4-year old so far: “I love you more than double double what you will say next.”
Have a great weekend.

Funny conversation (argument) that takes place on our family’s whiteboard. A little bit allergy – a lot a bit fun;)

My mom and brother used to do something very similar with an old chalk board! Your sense of humor is a lot like hers–I’m sure you’re a good mom, too.
