I was so excited when a Michael's was opening in my town. My son who was about 5 or 6 at the time asked "What's a Michael's?" I said it is a CRAFT store. My son then proceeded to comment "why do you need a CRAP store?" My husband answered "Exactly!"

Lol. These are fun!
My sister is the anti-crafter (anti anything domestic for that matter) and she doesn't really understand my passion for it. When I told her I was going to a 'swarm' one day she looked at me blankly. I explained the whole "cricut" lingo stuff and she just blinked at me.
The next day she said "How was your Chirp-a-thon?" And now she calls me "Chirpathon Phlen".

oh I love all of these~they all made me chuckle!! (esp. the cricut peeing! LOL!)
My little girl has asked me at least 10 times what is that black thing called. I tell her every time it is a gypsy.
One day she says to me: Mommy is that your GPS? and before I can get a word in my hubby goes: Yes it is, if I want to find mommy I just follow the gypsy.
ok, not a funny as you guys but oh well

This just happened tonight, I was reading on the message board that if you unscrew the top of your stylus and put down in the hole, you can reset your gypsy. Well I obviously did not read it clearly like I never do, and I unscrewed the top of my stylus and stuck the stylus top down back in it's stylus slot and pushed thinking I was resetting my G. Needless to say the stylus was stuck down in it's slot with no way to extract it. Panicked, I ran downstairs to my hubby who was working in the basement, yelling get it out, get it out. He calmly pulled out a pair of tweezers and proceeded to pull the stylus out of it's slot. I went back and reread the instructions. Silly me, I was supposed to use the top of the stylus and poke that into that little tiny hole in my G. Bless his heart, he fixes everything.

My sister and I shop together every Black Friday. Two years ago Michaels had the Original Cricut on sale for $129 with the works (cartridges, tools, paper, mats, everything). I wasn't sure at the time if I needed to get one or not. I didn't even know very much about it. We were waiting outside the store at some crazy time (probably 5 am or so) and there were two people in front of us. We could only see 3 cricuts through the window. I was quickly deciding I had to have one. And by the sound of it I would be in position to get the last one. Suddenly one of the women made a call to see if a relative wanted her to pick up a cricut for her too. I was determined by that time I was going to get one even if I had to run the lady over. My sister is much taller than I am so I told her to do whatever she had to do to grab the cricut. It was a mad house when the doors opened, but luckily there were enough cricuts and nobody got hurt.
But wait, the story doesn't end there. Last year WalMart had the Expression on sale on Black Friday for $199. My sister and I left the house around 3:30 in the morning to wait outside WalMart. We were freezing and tired. I kept telling my sister I was not getting the Expression. I didn't need it. My little one worked just fine and I had too many other gifts to buy. We had our lists (no Expression on the lists!)and we were discussing who was getting what. As soon as the doors opened I yelled to my sister, "hurry up, lets go". She was confused and asked me where we were going. I shouted, "to the cricut!". She teased me the whole day and told everyone at home about how I was not getting the cricut - but look what I had in my arms.

I don't know if my story is funny or just funny for my kids. I have a thing about american crafts ribbon. I have hundreds of them and they are in small little drawers all lined up, and sorted just the way my anal mind likes. Well my girls love to come in and will move the ones with text on them to face the wrong way, or move a christmas one to the summer ones. They have even wrote ransom notes for some of them. I have a tendency to say to them, "what's it worth to ya," when they want something. So needless to say on the ransom note it will say, "what's it worth to ya mom?
Little stuff like that to drive me nuts and but I love it.

Lovely stories, I didn't think I had one, its more of happy story. Years ago Archivers opened in IL and that's all the scrappers I met talked about how great the store was. I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I asked my Mom to go with me. We had my precious baby boy with me that I lovingly refer to as "My One Good Egg." and we walk up to the store and enter the doors and I lose my mind, I shoved my baby into my Mom's arms not even waiting to see if she caught him properly.
I rushed around like I was a kid in a candy store and I just took off and spent several minutes touching papers and grabbing things and I was so lost in my thoughts that my Mom cautiously said to me after finding me in the back of the store digging through bins on my hands and knees " Did you forget about us?" I looked at her blankly because I had! She said I had such a look of happiness on my face that she left me alone for an hour! I forgot about them for an hour! She still tease me about it and my son is nearly 7!

My DH drag races, so we was at the track for a big race Labor Day weekend. I had my baby cricut and the jukebox, well I had 3 grown men racers come in the trailer asking me what I was doing. So I go explaining about what the C does and the JB. They start saying well " I don't hear no music coming out of it". Then, asking what do I do with the things I cut out, I said "SB and make cards". They all say "What's SB?" I just though up my hands. They where making jokes about it all weekend, because I had to hear it day and night, we spend two nights at the track in the trailer.
