Excuse me!

5 yr old: Mommy, I tooted. Excuse me!

me: Thank you for being polite.

5 yr old: So, when I say "excuse me" does that make the stink go away?

me: No, it's just polite.

5 yr old: Then what's the point?

Muh Tun Huh

After picking up the kids from school, I told them they could find a snack while I took a nap. I was reading when my 7 yr old came into the room, wimpering, with her tongue stuck out.

me: What's wrong?

7 yr old: Muh tun huh!

Looking closely, I could see a bit of a red spot on her tongue, but nothing really looked wrong

me: What happened?

7 yr old: I was looking for food in the deep freezer and my tongue got stuck.

me: on accident?

7 yr old: no, I put my tongue on there to see if it would really stick to something cold

me: did it?

7 yr old: yes! Look at muh tun! It HURTS!

me: well, I'm sorry you're hurt, but I guess you won't be doing that again, will you?

7 yr old (sticking out her bottom lip): No. My lip hurts too.

me: did you stick your lip and tongue on at the same time?

7 yr old: No... it was after my tongue

me (starting to smirk at this point): Why did you put your lip on the freezer after you hurt your tongue?

7 yr old (getting defensive): I had to see if it was still cold enough to stick!
