Funny stories the last couple of days

Lily:  Lily came running down from her room screaming that she was hearing weird buzzing noises from her room.  Then she started screaming and jumping because she could hear the buzzing downstairs too.  All of a sudden she pulled on her shirt and a fly flew out, crashed into the window and died.  Lily had had many weird experiences with bugs (spiders in her bed, earwigs in her ears) so it was no surprise that this experience happened to her.

Kara:  Kara has had a really bad day andtold me this morning that she was mad and I would just have to deal with it.  This evening as we were reading scriptures I tried to get Her to sit on my lap.  She sat on my lap for a second and then gave me a pillow and told me to pretend that it was her.  Really?  She is quite the girl!

Go Dan!

Dan still works part time at the hospital.  He got a letter from the new CNO in the mail a couple of days ago.
