Praise Cardboard Jesus For Our Funny Kids!: And Other Anecdotes from our Crazy Family

By Ryan Robison

Okay, I'll admit it: I have funny (some may say weird) children. Our three children, Rylee, Davis, and Kalel, entertain everyone on a daily basis. This book is a collection of pictures, funny stories, and quotations of actual things our children have said or done.

Our life...

Quotes from Lisa before we left for a three-hour car ride:

* "It doesn't matter that your brother has one more book than you."

* "Well, pull your pants up if your butt crack is hanging out!"

* "Quit licking your brother!"

This is a one-minute glimpse into our life!

Deep thoughts...

Before bed tonight, Rylee looked at me with a really thoughtful look and said, "Dad, I just don't get it. Parents spend the first two years of their kid's life teaching them to walk and talk...then they spend the next many years telling them to sit down and be quiet. It just doesn't make sense!" I have to admit; she does have a point!

Skid marks...

Kalel just got upset because there were not any skid marks in his underwear. All I could tell him was "Dude, skid marks should not be your goal!"

Normal family?

At lunch today, Davis said, "I wish that for just one day our family could be normal."

When we asked him what he meant by normal, he said, "You know, not being funny and laughing all the time and sometimes saying inappropriate things to make each other laugh."

Lisa's and my immediate response was "Nope, this family can't be normal."

He then said, "Yeah, we are pretty funny...and awesome!"

So sit back and laugh at the craziness of the Robison family and the antics of Rylee, Davis, and Kalel!

About the Author

To my wonderful family. First and foremost, to my wife, Lisa. She is my best friend, the love of my life, and an amazing mother to our children. Also, to our three awesome kids, Rylee, Davis, and Kalel, for without them, this book would not be possible. Truthfully, they are the authors of this book. I just took the pictures and wrote what they said. Our family is far from perfect, but we are a family full of Christ, love, fun, and a lot of laughs! We hope our children bring you the same joy they bring us!

Introduction

My wife, Lisa, and I have been married for fourteen years. I am a former elementary school teacher and principal. I am now an early childhood special education consultant and also serve as an adjunct professor of early childhood education. My wife is a former nurse and is currently in seminary. While in seminary, she is serving as the vicar (student pastor) of two local churches.

We have three wonderfully different children. Our oldest daughter, named Rylee is 13 years old. Rylee is a sweet, caring rule follower. She also has a great sense of humor and does a great job with her two little brothers. Our son Davis is seven years old. Davis has an amazingly quick wit, is the life of the party, and loves to make other people laugh. In other words, he is the class (or, in our case, family) clown. Our youngest son, Kalel, is four years old and is loud, boisterous, and developing a good sense of humor in his own right. As you can imagine, life at our house can be a little bit crazy at times.

Our kids make Lisa and I laugh ALL the time. I started to post the various funny things they did and said, on Facebook. All our family and friends LOVED reading these posts, and it brought a bright spot to a lot of people's days. I have also had many people say, Your kids are hilarious, you should write a book! I never had aspirations to be an author, so I would laugh off the You should write a book comments. Then finally, when
