Who is your boss?

My hubby was telling my 4 year old to eat his veggies at lunch today. My 4 year old says "I don't want to eat them." My hubby says "well you have to at least take a bite of each one".
My 4 year old asks why and my hubby tells him because he said so and he's the boss.

Well my 4 year old thinks about it and says "well you didn't take any of the yellow vegetables (squash) so you didn't eat all your veggies."
My hubby says "I ate a bunch of different ones and that is good enough for the boss".

My 4 year old says "well Jesus is the boss of you and if he were at the table right now he'd make you eat some yellow vegetables so you know how gross they are and then you wouldn't make me eat them!" lol! I guess my hubby shouldn't make my 4 year old eat things that he doesn't even like!

Don't you wish you were a little boy....

My 4 year old had on some really cute Etnies. I told him "Man I love your shoes, I wish I had some like it."  My 4 year old looks at his shoes then at me and says "mom you wish you could have been a little boy when you were younger huh."     "Boys always have so much cooler stuff than little girl stuff huh."    Well I like his shoes but I am quite happy I am a girl! lol

Have you seen my mommy?

Man I'm still laughing at this one and it's been 2 hours!

So we were at a store looking around and 2 little boys come up to the cash register and ask the cashier if she has seen their mom. The cashier tells them she doesn't know who their mom is. One of the little boys spreads out both arms as far as he can and says "she's this fat and her name is Marie." The cashier tried to hold in the laughter as she calls over the intercom for her.

We were laughing so hard and felt bad for the mom who came up to the front since everyone who had saw what the boy did was staring at the mom.   Kids sure are funny!

Strangers....

Yesterday I had to run to a cell phone store to get some new phones. We ended up being there a looooong time. My 4 year old was really good. He walked around the store and watched everyone and I guess he was listening a lot too. There were a lot of people in there. When we got in the car to leave he said to me "Mom we call people strangers because they are really strange huh."    I just had to laugh....

A bit too clean

I guess I need to stop doing such a good job of cleaning! Within the last week two of my sons ran into my glass sliding door thinking it was open. It was pretty dang funny to watch but oh so sad for my munchkins.

Reminds me of the birds on the windex commercial.

The first time it happened my son was crying and looked at me and said "mom we really need to paint that door red so we can see it."  lol  I guess if I stop cleaning it the kids will see their dirty little fingerprints all over it and know that the door is closed....

We have a monster.....

We have a monster in our house, I've never seen him yet but I do know that he only likes to wear one shoe and loves to use my kids socks to make friends for himself. He makes lots of messes and I think his name is somebodyelsedidit.   I'm going to be keeping my eyes wide open for this monster. I was thinking if he's going to take one sock out of each pair  he mine as well use both so I don't have to search the house for the matching socks...

 I imagine his friends look a lot like this

My kids will soon end up looking like this when they go to school

Mother of 7 I guess

My 4 year old said to me today, "Mom when dad was in your tummy he was a baby, then he came out and grew bigger than you, thats funny huh mom."   Me-" Ummmmm Bry, Dad wasn't in my tummy. I'm dads wife not his mom."  Then Bry says " But dad sometimes calls you mom." Me- "Well yeah but he says that cause I'm the mom in the house."  Bry-"Hmmm Mom I know dad was in your tummy, you probally just forgot!"    Well I guess I have 7 kids instead of 6.......

Mean old Bus driver!

Is it mandatory for bus drivers to be mean? My bus driver growing up hated kids, no really she did. She loved picking on us and being in control! (She would have made a great cop!)  I remember in Elementary school she used to grab my pig tails and say "Oink, Oink."   What the heck. She did it to all the girls wearing pigtails. She loved to yell.....Man I'm surprised she even had a voice left by the end of the day! She also loved to make us do fire drills like every month just to see us  splat on our faces as we jumped out the back door....(well maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration?? just a little one though)     I had the same bus driver from elementary school to high school.  She actually ended up loving me and I ended up liking her, but she still was mean to most everyone else!

I'm not saying it would be easy to keep that many kids calm and well behaved on a bus, but I think a prerequisite for getting the job is a love for kids. (or at least tolerating kids)

My kids bus driver in our last neighborhood was just as mean! My kids dreaded riding the bus. She wouldn't let my daughter sit by her brothers even on the first day , since she had boys on one side girls on the other. When I first met her she said she was strict but had fun with the kids.....Well my kids never saw the fun side of her in the two years they had her.  She stole my kids treats from school even if they were still in the wrapper and they were just holding them. She also accused my son of taking a kids toy, so she  dumped out his backpack on the floor and to her surprise found nothing!!! I of course had to go and dump her purse the next day all over the floor.....well I wanted to. I did talk to her and tell her I thought she was sooo wrong for doing that!

Luckily this year my younger kids walk to school!


Now don't get me wrong,  My daughters kindergarten bus driver was great and she loved my daughter. We loved to give her treats and my daughter drew her lots of pictures.  I'm just saying some ought to be in a different profession.

Ouch my arm hurts

How come every time I come home from being in the car my arm aches??? Hmmmm could it be from playing slug bug and Bingo (yellow cars) every time we go anywhere?  Yesterday My 11 year old sees a VW in the distance and  punches my arm and says "slug bug green", then punches me again and says "I mean slug bug black", then as we get closer to it he  punches me a third time and says "nope it is green".    3 punches for the same VW? Wow he cheats! I'm gonna have to start wearing padding on my arm!

How old am I?????

One of my kids this morning said  "Mom did slavery end when you were born?"   I about died..... How old do you think I am???  Then my child realized what they had said and said "whoops I meant racism."   Wow that's better I was starting to worry what my kids are learning or not learning in school. wink wink.
