So for the last month, it has sounded like our house is under fire from the acorns falling and hitting various places on our house. I swear, sometimes it looks and sounds like there are some really angry squirrels up in the trees hurling the acorns at us like hand grenades. Our dog even goes running for cover whenever she forgets and tries to lay in the sun. Consequently, there are always acorns covering our deck. About once a week Brent has gone out and swept the completely covered deck and then muttered for the next hour while it just continued to get covered up. Well, today was the day. However, he got help. Avery. So after they finished sweeping every last acorn off the deck, Avery came in the house and said this to me:
Mom, I helped dad sweep the acorns off the deck. They are all gone mom. I helped and all the acorns are all gone off the deck.
So we won’t need you here anymore.
Alrighty then… I’ll be on my way… 
that sucks!!
Please don’t go and leave me alone with this crazy kid!
My friend’s Mom calls them “AKERNS” now if that is not southern, i don’t know what is!
Oh my – SO funny! I laughed out loud when I read this – I can just hear her saying it.
