Small glimpses into my life with odd, but fun, children.

nuts

On the way home from school yesterday, my 7 yr old, Z, was trying to pick up rocks to add to his "collection." It wouldn't be a problem if they were pretty rocks, but they're all ugly and grey, and he leaves them around the house for everyone else to step on. I kept telling Z to stop picking up rocks, when I looked back and saw that he was trying to hide two by twisting them into the hem of his shirt and holding them near his belt-line.

me: What are those?

Z (trying to look confused): What?

me: Right there.

Z looks down at the rocks twisted in his shirt, points to his groin area and says: Those are my nuts!

I just stood there staring at him for a few seconds, giving him the mom look.

Z: Fine. I'm sorry, those aren't my nuts. They're my LADY PARTS!

Crap, crap, crap. CRAP! MOMMY!!!!!!

While watching his sister play a video game:

"She's gonna be dead. Deader than chicken, or roast beef, or whatever."

Guess what I'm thinking...

6 yr old to 8 yr old: Hey, guess what I'm thinking?

8 yr old: You're thinking about me.... and... another person...

6 yr old: MMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE wrong! I am not thinking about you

8 yr old: MmEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU are wrong. I can read your thoughts and you ARE thinking about me. Stop lying.

Art museum




After going to the art museum, my 6 yr old son asked his 8 yr old sister, "Why are there so many naked ladies in art museums?" to which my 8 yr old replied, "Because men get lonely."

Zedisms #1 & #2

My 6 yr old, we'll call him Zed, has always said weird things that make sense to only him. I've forgotten way more than I remember, so, starting today, I'll be adding to this blog as he says them.

#1: A few weeks ago, while complaining about an unexpected heat wave, "Whew! I'm sweatier than a cow in a bathtub!"

#2: After being asked if he wanted to choose a TV program to watch, "YES! More than a cantaloupe that's died, YES!
