Re: Kids say...

DW had a friend sleep over last night who had a fellowship interview here today. She was in the upstairs bathroom while DS1 was in bed with me this morning.
DS1: Is mommy's friend in the bathroom?
me: yes.
DS1: Is mommy's friend a boy or a girl?
me: girl.
DS1: Oh. So she has a snout right?
me: a snout?
DS1: Yes a snout so she can go pee pees sitting down?
me: uhhh I guess....go back to sleep.

He's gonna be kind of surprised when he takes biology.

Some random things from DD:

Singing to the tune of Mary had a little lamb: ~Mary had a juice box. Mary had a juice box. And I wish I had one too~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

DH to the dogs: Are you guys ready to go outside to go potty?
DD to DH: Puppies don't usually talk Daddy.

Re: Kids say...

Apparently the fun doesn't stop - even in the preteen years.

DS has had some really funny comments lately. DH and I bought a new coffee table for the family room last weekend. DH got around to assembling it the other night after the kids were asleep. When my 11 year old stumbled downstairs half-asleep the other morning, he crashed on the sofa then sat up and "discovered" the new coffee table. I spied on him from the kitchen while he caressed the thing and then said "Mom! Did you see this *sweet* coffee table in here?" Uhhhh.....yes?? I wonder if he thinks there is a coffee table fairy that brings new furniture to adults in need. :>

Just yesterday, he was trying to negotiate watching the Simpsons. He has seen several episodes, but I try to make sure they are acceptable. So many of the episodes are not. Well....he was watching one that was all about centerfolds and dirty magazines and I vetoed it and erased it from the TIVO. I also said we may just stop checking these out because lately so many have been inappropriate. His proposal? He promised he'd "scan the episode info before watching and just erase it if it says porn anywhere in the description." I think that's a good policy, son. He's cracking me up.

Re: Kids say...

Snouts...juice boxes...hilarious.

Send that coffee table fairy to my house next!

This morning we walked past the school bus and Anna asked the driver why his bus was so stinky.

Re: Kids say...

Nice.

Once when dh took Jacob into the mens room, Jacob looked over at dh (they were both at urinals) and said "I like your big penis Daddy!"

Re: Kids say...





dd#1 is having a hard time grasping this whole pee on the potty thing. we have told her time and again, 'if you go pee on the potty you can go to school'

today, FINALLY after months and months and months...she tinkled a bit..while i was gone picking up ds at preschool. dh called me in a panic..not knowing if she went enough for one of her new bribe toys. i told him to give it to her anyways. so, now she has this disney princess purse she is carrying around. so cute. here are the one liners she is feeding me now.

as soon as i stepped out of the car:

'mommy!!! daddy gave me a big hug, smoochie and a high five for peeing like a big girl'

'come on, we have to go to school'

'mommy, miss angie (ds's teacher) will loooove to see me'

'im waiting for hours mommy. we need to go to school.'

'i have my bag, mommy. just like you'

'the other girls are waiting for me, let's go'

'mommy,fix my socks, i need to get ready to go to school..to see my name!'


this girl has no issues socializing at all. she kills me. little does she know, she has to pee on the potty consistantly and poop before i'll let her go.

Re: Kids say...

DD as we stop in the parking lot of the grocery store, "Are we all going in."

Me: "Yes."

DD: "YAY! People say 'yay' when you say yes."


Then later, "You already got married."

Me: "Yes I did. Who did I marry?"

DD: "You married my daddy."

Me: "Was that a good idea?"

DD: "Yes. I am going to get married tomorrow to a different boy, and I will have a ring like yours, and I will wear my wedding shirt."

Re: Kids say...

The baby is crawling and likes to stick her tushie up in a downward facing dog sort of position. Anna loves to have someone underdog her on the swings. So when Evie does her yoga moves, Anna says -- Look, she is doing downward underdog!

Re: Kids say...

My very down to earth boy popped out this one in the car today - out of the blue.

"Mom. If I learn to read and do math and science and go to space I need someone to go with me. Because I don't know how to find my way back to Massachusettes."

It was just so random. But I told him I'd be happy to go with him.

Re: Kids say...

At dinner we were discussing different State slogans and mascots. DS understood the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" and "The Buckeye State". When he inquired what Tennessee's slogan was, I offered "The Volunteer State." TN was one of the earlier states mentioned because my parents own a cabin in TN that they spend about a third of the year at. Anyway, he asked what "The Volunteer State" meant. I told him that Tennessee was the first State to volunteer soldiers for the Civil War. DS responded by asking whether Papa Kenn was injured in that war.

Re: Kids say...

He's oooold!


That ds2.
He got a small plastic ring stuck around his finger today. I was putting soap around the ring and trying to wrench it off while lecturing him about cutting off circulation and losing his finger. He finally had it with me, yanked his finger away and said, " I don't need so many fingers. I have enough to make seven." And he shows me seven fingers.

I did get the ring off.

Re: Kids say...

whenever we ask ds what he had done at school it's always the same response.

"i dont know"

every.time. when we're putting him to bed and talking about his day he will open up..but the usual answer is, "i dont know"

today after i picked him up, i was reading the paper that the teacher gives detailing the kids day.

being thankful is the topic of the week. all the kids responses were on the sheet. and of course, ds's was, i dont know"

everyone else had mommy, daddy, my stuff, blah blah.

not my kid!

this cracked me up and i called to tell dh. ds is very dry and sarcastic (er, like his mom) so we thought it was a hoot.

(of course it may not be funny to everyone..and im okay w.that)
