The Things Kids Say

[pushka]

<div class='quotemain'>When she was 3, my daughter had a massive crush on Brian May, guitarist with Queen. I was watching various Queen videos at that time and she 1st seemed to notice Brian whilst he was performing a song called Dragon Attack...afterwards she used to point to him and say Dragon and she carried the inner sleeve of an album of theirs everywhere she went, even to nursery school, because it had a photo of her beloved on it...ahhhhh [/b]

Awwwww, Pushka, please give your "baby" a from me for that one. The thought of a little three-year-old carrying the inner sleeve of an album cover every where just tugs at my heart strings.

Did you take a photo of her with it? I really hope so!

I don't think we took a photo of her with it intentionally, however I have a sneaking feeling that somewhere amongst our family photos and videos, it may appear!!

I will give her that hug...she reminds me of myself...obsessed! lol.

Alrighty...This is my absolutely favorite story about my now 14 year old son. Those of you know know me know that he is adorable and could quite arguably be the best son in the whole wide world!

I learned that he was very special while he was still quite young. His thinking has never been "inside the box" but very much outside of it. Anyway...it's always been very fun to see how his little mind works!

In California they start to show the "growing up" videos in 4th grade. Bryan skipped 3rd grade so saw the first video when he was 8. His older sister was in 5th grade and had somehow missed the movie the year before. Anyway, they get in to the car after school and I ask them how their days were and what did they learn from the videos watched. Ivy, bless her little heart...says, "Mommy! I've got eggs in my ovaries!!" and then there's my son... my wonderful little boy... "Testicles! Mom! That's a really funny word! I used it as much as I could this afternoon!"

Yup! That's my boy!!


okay...one more Bryan story.. if you can..picture a little pudgy Opie Taylor...that was my boy!

This one happened when he was 5 or 6. We were at the beach with my mom and he asked if we could go for a walk to look for shells. So off we go hand in hand, just me and my little man! Strolling under the pier he finds a little bitty sand dollar and is very happy with his little self. That is until mommy comes in and says "oh! let me see!" and sticks her thumb right in to the middle of it, breaking the dollar. I was very sorry and he says.."It's okay, mom. Let's just go jump in the waves". So, off we head to jump in the waves. He puts his little bucket of shells down right next to him and is having a blast when a big little wave comes in and knocks his bucket over!! ack! We scramble to get all the shells gathered back up and now he just wants to go back and sit with grandma so we start to head back. We walked along in silence for a couple of minutes when he stops dead in his tracks and says with such consternation and exasperation in his little voice... "Great! Just great!" I say, "what is it honey?" and here's where it get's good. His reply? "First, you broke my sand dollar! Then the waves knock over my bucket! Then...as if my day couldn't get ANY worse.. now I've got the hiccups!!" I'm sorry to say my reaction wasn't very mommy-like.. I tipped my head back and laughed and laughed to which he replied... "gah! And why do adults always laugh at what I say?!"

it's cuz yer funny Bryan...really really funny!

I ran upstairs to say good bye to everyone this morning as I was on my way out the door to work... He throws his arms around me and says... "Will you be my mommy?!" hahahahaha!

so the cats out of the bag. i went to the dr the other day for my first ob visit. we were going to wait as long as we could to tell anyone, but yesterday... lol.

my 6 yr old went poking around my room and found my ultrasound pic i had on the dresser from my apt. he comes running to me with it in hand. "mommy, i found this scan picture. are we having a baby?!!" so he and i sat down and talked about it, i told him that is why i've been feeling sick and that i needed his help.

so this morning i was throwing up and our 5 yr old goes running to his brother, "mommy is sick" i hear them talking in the next room as the 6 yr old explains to the 5 yr old lol that "mommy isn't sick she has a baby in her tummy. that is why she is sending us away to the farm."

they are going to visit my sis (who has a farm) for the weekend, we had this planned before i knew i was expecting. not sure where the connection came from but he sure made it sound like they were going away for a long time. lol

so over breakfast the 5 yr old had to explain to me that he knew why i was sick and told me all about the baby.

not sure how much longer it will be before the whole town knows at this rate. lol i'm sure the family will know before the weekend is over.

My son has turned 13.
He is beginning to experience all of the expected physical changes.
We were talking about some of the changes he is going through and some that are yet to come.
He understands that all of these are part and parcel of becoming a man.

Being manly is very important to him.
He proudly showed me his arm pits to illustrate his new found manliness.
I looked very hard....strained my eyes in fact.
Sure enough I spotted a very sparse scattering of tiny blonde hairs.

There amongst these questionable manly hairs was one single, long black hair.
My son said to me:
"He's my big one mum, and I'm very proud of him!"

Yes,... I kept a very straight face.
Nodded my head in great awe and wonderment.
Then said "He's a beauty son."

taaahahahahaha!! I can't see how you kept a straight face! That's always my down fall... I just start cracking up!

A couple of nights ago I was cooking dinner with my 16 yo daughter who likes her pasta with butter not sauce. So she pulls out a stick of butter and says with pure confusion in her voice... "mom. where's the real butter i say..."it's in your hand." she says "no, the REAL butter. you know...the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.." (it's a margarine/spread here in the US) I say.."that's NOT butter, that's margarine. What you have in your hand is the butter." she's still full of confusion and is all.."but it IS butter." I again lovingly say... "No, it's NOT butter that's why it's called I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Because it tastes so much like butter, people can't believe it. see?" She then gets that omygoshigetit look and says "ooooooh". I couldn't help but laugh! and then I called my mom to tell her the story
