Daddyisms

My husband is known for saying things that may make sense to him but leave everyone else laughing.  We call these silly statements daddyisms.  It's gotten to where the kids just wait on the next one.  It can be especially hard to keep from laughing when he spits one of them out in the middle of an angry rant.  Our oldest daughter has actually taken to keeping a running of list of them.  The following of the daddyisms started one day when he decided he wanted to go to the mall. 
I don't remember why we were going to the mall Daughter #2 thinks it was to see Santa.  Anyway trying to get four kids ready to leave the house when half of them don't want to go and the other half can't decide what to wear can be quite an ordeal.  After what felt like hours we were finally ready to leave when son #1 remembered that he didn't have his money and that reminded son #2 that he also had money he wanted to take.  This meant waiting while they dug the money out of their hiding places and out of total frustration daddy yelled
            YOU DON'T NEED MONEY THERE IS NO PLACE FOR YOU TO SPEND IT.
 Son #1 just stands there staring at him while the rest of us are laughing our butts off and daddy has no idea why.  I blurted out Did you hear what you just said, and started laughing again.  Finally daughter #1 says between laughs there's no place to spend money at the mall.  Which started everyone laughing again including daddy.  After that we all waited for the daddyisms.  They keep us laughing and him annoyed.
