Always a great read. I frequently wonder if it’s exasperating to deal with it all the time or just difficult to hold in the laughter. Maybe a mixture of both? Great stuff, either way.

Julie, this is *always* my favorite post of the year. Thank you for this, again!! Even after all these years, I still laugh aloud every time. I wish my kids were that funny!

Sorry Julie: I noticed right after I sent you my question that your list began in December and not January. Your yearly postings are enjoyable and fun. Thanks very much.

The week of September 23rd was especially delightful. The apostolic Book-of-Mormon toss, stool samples, and the important social service of minimizing taboos… Love it!

I’ am a first time follower and instant fan. I will have to go back now and see what your boys have been saying for the last few years.

Wish we had documents like this from 19th century Mormonism. I’d very much like to know what the precocious children were spouting forth then, but the Wasatch Literary Society meeting minutes are about as close as we come…

Feel for you, Julie. You deserve an award. Or maybe a PhD in tolerance.

Now it’s truly Christmas time!

(They kind of have a point about that matriarchy thing. How do you justify to them that you can have long hair and they can’t?)

It’s the most wonderful post . . . of the year!

Thanks for sharing these Julie. I’m with Craig H. Your boys just get more awesome every year!

Just so awesome, and more sophisticated and wicked every year. I can’t wait until they are 50.

These boys NEVER disappoint. And, like Truman, I have also asked if the fish sticks actually had any fish in them.
