Ahh, boys! This might be long as I need to vent a little, too!
Today was awful. Scotty had the day off from school and was SO NAUGHTY today. He just blatantly disobeyed me all day, no matter what punishment I gave him. I finally sent him off to grandma's and questioned myself as a mother as I took a long, hard nap! DH brought him home on his way to his 2nd job. It was made very clear that Scotty and I would watch a movie together in my bedroom and then he would go to bed early.

During the movie he was getting hot so he took off his shirt, then proceeded to tell me to smell his armpits. Now, I know from experience that if I don't smell wherever or whatever it is he wants me to smell, it will be shoved under my nose. So, I smelled, and boy, did it reek! I expressed my disgust with a big "P-U", and he goes, "Yep, that's Stinkland!"

Never, when I carried that child in my belly and gave birth to that beautiful angel and had wonderful dreams of being mother and son, never did I imagine that I would have days like today and one day we would have an official name for his armpits!

LOL Carrie...I know what you mean about little boys!

I think sometimes we as Mommy's need timeouts (naps) to make us better parents. Don't question yourself on your abilities because you needed a break. We all need breaks sometimes!

My son (who is very very literal) wanted to watch a Movie the other day, I told him to go pick one out. We sat down where we store the movies and I would read off the titles. We get to "Honey, I shrunk the kids" and he says, very seriously "Why would they do that?"

My girlfriend's 3 yo granddaughter had this ritual of watching The Waltons with her great-grandmother every day. One day she hollered: "Nana, come quick, Grandpa is back from heaven!"

Speaking of darndest thing, my son just came into to my room and says

"Mommy, you put food in your mouth and chew it up (makes chewing face), then you swallow (makes gulp), then the food goes all through here (makes zigzag motion on stomach) then it comes out here (turns around, sticks his butt out and pats it) Just thought you would like to know that" (he sees my face trying not to laugh and says "I love you Mommy" and runs out of the room!

Gosh I love this child!

LOL Zmom!

That reminds me of when my SIL was pregnant a couple of years ago. Scotty said to her, "Aunt Sarah, your baby is growing and growing in your belly."
My SIL said "Yes, and when it gets big enough it will be ready to come out.
Scotty said, "Yep! Right out your mouth!"

Here is what 7yr old daughter did today. She came home from school with a bandaid on so of course I asked her what happened. She told me some one had thrown a rock and it cut her on the wrist. Well I immediately doubted this story but she kept telling me it was a rock with a sharp edge. Keep in mind at this point she kept the bandaid on. Well about 45 minutes later after I had dropped the subject she came to show me her boo boo. She had taken a red pen and drew a little mark on her wrist. She apparently had shown her teacher this and the teacher gave her a bandaid. Now question is do I laugh about the whole thing or do I punish her for lying? lol

What kind of bandaid was it? My son did almost anything to get a "batman" bandaid. It was funny how he had less "accidents" when it was just a regular ole' tan bandaid.

When my son was about 13 months old, our hot water tank went on the blitz and hubby was working out of town. Our good friend came over to check it out, bringing with him his two young sons. My son was sitting in his high chair eating crackers, so his two sons just kind of stood around playing with him.

What I did not realize was that one of the sons had a tiny little frog with him. He gives it to my son. What did my son do? Proceeds to put it in his mouth!!!

When I look into the kitchen to check up on them, I see the older of the two pulling the frog out of my son's mouth by the two hind legs. When I asked what was going on, he said "Well, I gave it to him to play with, I didn't think he'd eat it." Laughing I said, "He's in his high chair, what do you expect?"

We were in the car today when I was reminded of something Scotty said in the car when he was about 2.
I'm a very impatient driver, and as Scotty was learning new words, I was really working hard at watching my mouth! In fact, I would tell him if I slipped up. I'd say, "Oops, that was a bad word, don't ever say that Scotty." 'Tattling' on myself really ended up working.

Anyway, we were driving one day, and as I said, I am impatient, and I said "Go Lady!" to the car in front of me.

Then, a small voice from the back seat (in a very "shame on you" tone) said, "Momma, don't say 'lady'."

I now hardly ever utter a curse word, in fact, Scotty thinks the D-word is Dumb, and the S-word is Stupid

Poor baby....that is the worst thing to hear from your child. You feel so helpless. I hope that she gets better soon!

I have a deal with my kids, they can keep their rooms as they wish as long as once a week they pick up so the cleaning lady can come in. I will also do their laundry for them, but they must bring their dirty clothes to the laundry room. My 14 year old ds, was not keeping his end of bargain so he wasn't getting his room cleaned or getting his clothes washed. I hate to say but this was going on for a several weeks. He would wash something at night and dry it in the am..somtimes going to school in slightly damp clothes! LOL Anyway, trying to teach a lesson in logical consequences, I just let this go on.
Thursday he comes in and says, "I want you to take the cords to my PS2 and hide them. I feel like I have been spending too much time playing my games." He also started cleaning his room, did all his laundry and even FOLDED it and put it up (didn' even know he knew how to fold!) I asked him what brought on this change just knowing it was going to be my great lesson in logical consequences, and he says "I was watching Family Guy the other night, and one of the characters got totally addicted to tv and went insane. I didn't want that to happen to me!" LOL
I guess whatever works.

My dd and I bought "cheater" toll house cookie mix. My daughter was reading the instructions which said to break apart the cookies and place on a cookie sheet. I then asked her what temp for the oven and she said, "Oh they don't go in the microwave?"..LOL

My daughter went to school today, having missed half a week. She ran up to her favorite classmate and said "I was sick. Blahhhhhh" and demonstrated how she vomited.

Kids!

When I was a kid, we had a family move next door to us and they were from the Azores.

One day I was playing with the daughter, she was about five...a few years younger than myself.

I started tickling her and asked, "Are you ticklish?"

"No", she says, "I'm Portuguese."

To this day, that little bon mot from her, still makes me smile!

My sister and her sons live in Tucson. Once, when the twins were about 8, she visited us here in Ontario where, of course, we have many forests. Being from desert country, the twins had never seen forests before. AS we were driving down the highway we passed one forest and Matthew said "Look Mom, a parade of trees".

That was 13 years ago and I still smile everytime I think of it.
