Kids say...

I have a couple to add...

Last night we got caught in the rain for football practice. I had the older boys with me and when we got home, I had them strip the wet clothes off on the front porch (there were no neighbors out in the rain, just so you know that we weren't giving a free-show to the neighborhood). We freely run without clothes, so I didn't expect any issues. Then Drew says, 'I am kind of embarassed to take my clothes off out here.' To which Colton replies- 'There are no bears out here today.'

Then we were eating dinner and Colton proclaims- Girls have boobies, boys have...moles.
A little later in the conversation we were talking about nicknames- Drew was talking about Eldrick 'Tiger' Woods...so, he says he wants a nickname. I asked what he thought it should be, he replies- "Superior Speciman"

What a night

"Superior Speciman" you obviously done an excellent job by instilling self confidence!!

Superior Speciman



That may follow him the rest of his life!

That is awesome.

I love it.

Background: I "dogsit" for friends every day that both of them work. Their house is near mine, so I stop in mid-day and let their pup out / play with him for a bit. They pay me $10/day for my time. The friends happen to be a lesbian couple, and they have a 7 year old son my kids play with.

Today when Quinn and I were checking on the pup, Quinn looked at the pic of Issac and his moms and said "How did two moms get married and have a kid?"

I said "They decided they loved each other and wanted to have a child, so they did."

Boy am I glad he's too little to press the anatomical stuff yet. I guess this is how the explaining goes ... a little at a time.

The gym where I work out is being remodled. The other day as we were entering and walking by the construction, I commented that something smelled. My dd said yes, it smells like "robin eggs". I think she meant rotten eggs, although I don't know where she picked up that term.

When I was tucking her into bed the other night, she told me that I was "romantic". Where does she get these words? I sure don't think Dh or I have used that word recently.

I have been a crabby patty lately and I was grumpy with my kids in the car because we went to the video store and Target, but I forgot my debit card at home. The kids hadn't been listening either.

Ella says, "Mom, I think you have a bad assitude."

Ella says, "Mom, I think you have a bad assitude."

I think that needs to go in your signature. Very cute.

"Mom, I think you have a bad assitude."

I LOVE this! So funny. Thanks for posting it! (I think I may have the same thing....do you suppose it is contagious?)

I think I'll have to add that word to my vocab. Too cute!

Steven (6 yo), waking up all excited b/c it's Saturday, said:

Where's Daddy!

Me: At work.

Steven: (crestfallen): He's supposed to be here on the S days!

[v-girl]

Awww! I bet daddy would just melt!

Can I laugh about my mom in this thread? She's from Panama but after being in the US for 35 years, we hardly notice her accent. Every once in a while, she'll slip up and mispronounce something.

So the kids and I were at her house for dinner last night (DH on call, I can't cook, had to feed the kids). The kids are in the play room and I was watching TV with mommie and my grandma. She starts flipping through the stations to see what was on. All of a sudden she yells out that "101 Damnations" is on. I asked her to repeat that. She did. The same way. I couldn't stop laughing! I kept correcting her and she just couldn't get it out right. I told her it sounded like marathon homilies on the Catholic channel (she and my grandmother watch that when they aren't watching their telenovelas).

DS said, "Mom, if you and Dad die, we know how to go to the store and buy otter pops!"

I don't know where he got the doom and gloom idea, except that we have had some discussions recently about safety and what to do in emergencies.
