Overheard in my House . . . Add Your Stories Here!

DS was hilarious this weekend.

1. To babysitter when she arrived at the door and was greeted by an adoring DS in his mini-boden monster shirt: "Don't be scared of the monster . . . (lowering his voice confidentially and giving her a reassuring nod) it's just a shirt."

2. To me this morning: "Can we get in car and drive around and look for birthday parties." Apparently, he think you cruise for birthday parties wedding crashers style!

3. We always say to him in kind of funny, sing-song voice, "You do X (eat your dinner), you get Y (e.g., treat), you don't do X, then you don't get Y." Saturday morning he sing-songed happily to a bleary-eyed DH at 6am, "You turn on TV, I let you sleep. You DON'T turn on TV, you DON'T sleep." Let's just say it was not a proud parenting moment and we slept in!

4. "I want my pizza BALD!" meaning in his preferred style of no cheese, no topping, just bread and flecks of sauce.

I love age three. Add your stories here!

All three of those are soooo hilarious!

Those are hilarious!

Overheard this morning by my 6 yo DD to my 8 yo DS:
"You made me poke myself in the eye when I was trying to hit you!"

It was one of those moments that we did not intervene in!

Love them all!

Sste, your DS sounds like quite the smart and funny little cookie! The stories you tell about the things that he says are hysterical!

Well, he is pretty funny (dh is like this too) but I also think part of it is that on the weekends we basically run around after him and hang on his every word - - esp. if we one or both of us worked too much during the week. So, we get alot of "material."

When I get too annoying to all of you with these stories, just click "ignore." Part of it is that DS didn't say hardly a word (literally) for his first two years so I am just over the moon in this past year to see how he is talking all.the.time, making jokes, etc.

I love "you made me poke myself in the eye when I was trying to hit you!" Ah, the sibling bond . . .

DS2 has been potty training/wearing underwear for the past 3 weeks or so. One of the first days he was wearing underwear and had more access to his boy parts, we had a little conversation while he was in the bathroom:

DS2: Mommy, what is this?
Me: That's your p*nis honey. (for the 200th time)
DS2: Mommy, what is this?
Me: That's your scr*tum honey.
DS1: (I had NO idea he was nearby or even listening and he comes charging in all in a rush to tell DS2 Yeah, and you have 2 little balls in there. But be really careful with those. If you squeeze too hard, it really hurts. I did that one time.

I'm not even sure why it was such a funny conversation, but DS1 was so serious and trying to be a big brother and help out DS2. Ah, life with boys. WAY too many conversations about their parts.

DD was having a big of a dramatic meltdown at bedtime and was supposed to be heading back upstairs to bed...but was instead sitting on the steps "talking" to us:

Us: DD, go back to bed. Goodnight, love you!

DD: But I don't want to go to bed. I can't sleep....etc...You always say "Goodnight, love you" when you tell me to go to bed, but that's not what I'm looking for here!

Me (after a bit more of DD's grumbling, as she's finally headed back to bed):
Goodnight....Love you! (I couldn't resist!)

Several weeks ago:

Cousin, 8yo: "Here's your cover."

La, 6yo: "Why? We're all family."

C: "Because I'm going to feed my baby."

L: "It's okay if it's just family. But you need to put your shirt up."

C: "Why? I'm in short sleeves."

We peeked into the bedroom, and the girls are "feeding" thier babies. Cousin's is eating from her elbow. La's is drinking from her belly button. We had a good laugh, before my sister pointed out that I'm in the process of becoming a lactation consultant, and my 6yo didn't know where mama's milk came from.

5 yr old ds story

Ds: Mommy, know what I want to do when I grow up? I want to marry G. I can do that, right mommy? I can do that because she's a girl because she has a vagina.

Me: Sure, you can marry G if you want to, but you know some boys marry boys and some girls marry girls.

Ds. What? No...I don't really think they can do that. Are you sure mom?

Me: Yes, J (an older boy who lives around the corner) has 2 moms and they are married.

Ds; Did J tell you that, mom? You have to be careful because J likes to make up stories!
