This is in response to This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – August 6, 2026, hosted by John Holton.
I chose option #3: Share something that made you laugh this week.
Order Arrived from an Unlikely Source
I spent the whole day at my daughter Katy’s house wrangling her three kids, all under six, plus their very enthusiastic dog and their loud, animated parrot. The two older girls eventually got into a heated argument, the kind only siblings can have, full of dramatic sighs and very important opinions. Before either of them could push it any further, three‑year‑old Jo Jo marched right between them. He held up his hand like a tiny traffic cop and said, “Let me handle this.” He has never said that before. His confidence and seriousness caught me off guard, and I laughed because he truly believed he was about to broker peace like a miniature diplomat. It was the funniest moment of the day and maybe the week.
Thank you for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting. You are important!

This must have been a most amusing sight.
LOL Thank you, Robbie. It was amusing indeed.
💜
I once had a puppy named JoJo.
But here JoJo seems to be a peacemaker
Awww I bet your puppy was the cutest. My Jo Jo is definitely a peacemaker.
Oh, you’re gonna have stories to tell about that kid for decades, aren’t you!
Jo Jo hands me fresh material every day. That kid’s already a whole anthology in motion. 😄🌺
Aww such a wonderful story. I’m glad he took care of business, and helped end the fight. It is amazing when the littles go from being babies to having their own opinions and can talk and let us know exactly how it will be. 🙂
Thank you so much. He absolutely thought he was handling business. The girls took one look at him and the whole fight evaporated.😊

You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger.”

Thank you. Jo Jo certainly had his moment. 😊
Oh, this is hilarious, Kymber! The world can always use more peacemakers.
Thank you, Teri. Jo Jo gave me the best laugh. 😂
Definitely a day filled with heart! 💛
Family dynamics can add lots of spice and vigor to some days, but I fully trust that Jo Jo will always know what to do when things get a little too spicy – 🧐😎✌
Thank you. It was one of those spirited family moments. Jo Jo knew exactly when to step in. 🌺🩷😄🤗
Jo Jo is the ultimate peace keeper 🤣🤣; him raising his hand is the initiation of his super power 👌😸💙
Thank you. Jo Jo stepped in with full confidence. His hand went up and the girls dissolved. 😂
Hahaha absolutely Kymber 😹😹. It was priceless moment — it’s hard to stay serious when children that age do the unexpected things like that LOL

As they always say, “Kids say the darndest things.” It is true!
It is true. lol Thank you.😂
You caught me off guard with this story. I was expecting something about the scam going on and this was a complete 360. Jo jo stole the show.
Jo Jo has opinions and he’s three. I’m just documenting the fallout. 😂
😉😂

That must have been adorable to witness. Was he able to negotiate a temporay peace?
Darlene, he tried. The girls took one look at him and burst out laughing, so the fight ended on the spot. 😂
