My 8 yr. old started back to school this morning. Yesterday afternoon, as I was getting all his new supplies packed into his new backpack, I kept thinking how odd it was that colored pencils weren't on the supply list. And then I noticed... I had purchased supplies from the 2nd grade list. A major faux pas as my dear little boy is going to the 3RD GRADE this year! Guess it was some sort of Freudian reluctance to him growing up so fast.
So off we went, back to the store to get the right supplies this time. As we were walking in, he was talking about being a little nervous because a girl he's sweet on is going to be in his class. Now it was all I could do not to laugh because he was just so damn cute about the whole thing and I was trying to put him at ease. But I was thinking, 'Jeez, he's only eight!'
I mentioned to him that I thought it would at least be a few more years before he started thinking about girls to which he replied, "Well Mom, I guess you thought wrong."
LOL - Being a Mommy is just too rich! |

hehe!
Yesterday I helped my 4 year old, 5 on the 26th of august to write a letter to his girlfriend at kindergarden.
He told me to wirte,
I love you, Jara Birna.
Then he found an used envelope we got in the mail earlyer and put the letter in it. Then he put some stickers on it and glued it shut.
He took it with him to kindergarden to day.

Well I had a good laugh with my Samuel Tuesday night. I went to a Chinese restaurant with him and Isabelle for dinner. The place wasn't too busy, maybe only 4 or 5 more couples. All of a sudden someone behind us lets one rip (though you could tell he/she was trying to supress it). So everyone stopped talking, but kept on eating like nothing ever happened, in order not to embarass the "farter". Everyone except for Samuel of course. He was looking around from table to table going "pfffrt pfffrt pfffrt (farting noises)" and had that WHO DID IT!! WHO DID IT!!! look to him.
Ahhhh, never too young to enjoy fart humour.

That's nothing...
A handful of years ago my mother took my little sister, who is now about 20, to see 'Ghost'. My mother thought that she was going to fall asleep or something and had told her that it was supposed to be a funny movie. (Some of the advertisements of the time played up the comedy bit a little.)
So the movie starts and Patrick Swayze's Character bites it...
Almost immediately my little sis jumps up on her seat, looks at my mother, pointing an accusing finger and yelled out: "You said this was going to be funny! Do you think people getting killed is funny?!!!"
Well, the whole theatre just broke out in laughter something serious... I believe she was 4 or 5 years old...

LOL!
My husband is genius at imitating quips from TV shows⦠Not sure where it came from but thereâs one that goes, âWho farted?â in a funny little accent.
Anyway, we were walking into Wal-Mart and somebody let a âsilent but deadlyâ fart fly, leaving a lovely âfartosphereâ in their wake. My son, ever the comedian, stopped dead in his tracks with a look of pure disgust on his face and out of his mouth came a perfect imitation⦠âWho farted?â
I couldnât help myself â I lost it! Meanwhile my son turned crimson â the words flew out of his mouth before his brain had a chance to catch up!

Kids...there's nothin' like 'em.
My five year old son was in Pre-K last year. He loved his class, his teacher, and his principal. He would ride a bus from his campus across town to my school in the afternoons, along with his ten year old brother...and every afternoon we would talk about their day. Well, J.P. (the 5 year old) one day got off the bus looking particularly sad and dejected. He proceeded to tell me how he had a really rotten day..."Mom, it was a bad day today. Abbey broke up with me because she didn't want me to talk to Kynleigh on the playground anymore." I almost passed out! Where do they learn this stuff???? It was insane, but so cute that I couldn't help but laugh. Then my ten year old had to offer the big-brother advice..."Don't worry about it...Kynleigh's a lot cuter than Abbey anyway." Big or small...men...you're all alike! LOL ;o)

When Calvin, my 3 year old, was learning to talk, some of the words he had for things sounded nothing like the word. For whatever reason, his version of "Spongebob" sounded exactly like the F-word + er. So, we're grocery shopping and he spies one of those mylar balloons of guess who? That's right, Spongebob. He commences yelling "Spongebob!" as loud as possible over and over. Only it doesn't sound anything like "Spongebob" it sounds like he's yelling "F&%ker", loud enough for the whole store to hear. We definitely got some looks that day.

| If you've ever taken a child under 4 into a public restroom to "poop" and haven't been embarassed by what they say or sing (because the room echoes), your missing something in life of parenthood. |

One of mine also had a bit of a pronunciation problem. He pronounced all Tr words with F. So for example a train was a Frain, or a tree was a Free. It just got a little embarrasing when one of the things he got most enthusiastic about were .... you guessed it .....Trucks.
Wherever you were, whenever he saw one he would repeatedly yell at the top of his voice Truck truck truck..... |

This happened about 15 years ago when my sister was 4 or 5.
She would walk up to men in the street, complete strangers and ask them if they had a willy!! (We'd always be with her so she was perfectly safe)
The men would go bright red, she would then tell them that her Dad had one and that she was getting one for Christmas and she was going to stick it on with sellotape :-) |

I go swimming at the YMCA each morning. Several years ago my neice, 5 years old, just happened to be in a summer program there and all the girls had swim time the same time I had my lane time booked. Towards the end of my laps she would swim over to me, floaties on her arms, swimming with all her might. I would help her swim, hold her up, help her float, etc. Well one day this little 9 year old girl (or little bully, she picked on Brit all the time) swam up to us and said to Britany "I can swim so much better than you can" and stuck her tongue out at Birtany, I just knew as demur and kind-hearted as Britany was that she would burst out crying, but to my surprise she said "Well you might can swim, but I am sooo much prettier than you!" and the girl swan away visably upset and almost crying. I hated to laugh at the situation because it was wrong of Brit to make someone cry, but by gosh that little girl deserved it and I was so proud of her for taking up for herself! :)
