.... say the darnedest things.
I'm going to start a log of funny things I experience with DL and Princess Pea. I'm mostly doing this for them, kind of like an online baby book. Since I am more likely to post things than dig out their actual books and log it on paper.
I don't expect everyone to interested in these moments, but if you are let me know and I will keep you on the filter.
I won't be offended in the least if you really don't want to hear about them - I know talking about your kids all the time is only two steps up on the tree of annoying habits from the crazy cat lady.
With that said here is what I have experienced over the last two months with the kids. It primary has to deal with DL, but Pea sneaks in a few shots here and there as well.
- After being on this earth 6 months Pea finally pissed her brother off enough to warrant :
"Mommy! Make her go away! Back in your tummy" *shoves finger at my stomach*
"Honey, please stop yelling. I can't put her back."
"why?"
"She's too big now"
*thinks for a few minutes. In a very serious tone* "Stop feeding her!"
- CJL and DL are playing roughly in the living room. I hear a scream quickly followed by:
"NO DADDY!! Your the evil scientist. I Captain Corbin America!"
*restraining a laugh daddy says* "So I get the pink astronaut suit?" (Despicable ME reference)
*suddenly calm* "No, that's still my costume"
- DL runs into the kitchen one morning to exclaim:
"M I C K E Y M O U S E!" And then dashes out again. Funny thing is, he wasn't even watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse at the time.
- Working on our letters he was proud to realize that "every letter makes a sound .... The D says DUH!"
- "Who do you like more; Tigger or Donald?"
"hummm"
"Who do you like more?"
"MOMMY! I don't want to pick. Why I pick?" *obviously frustrated*
Which I took to mean, "why the hell does it matter mom? I like them both, I don't want to choose."
- I have worked hard at cutting down on my swearing. Everyone knows I have a mouth like a dock worker. But I mostly have it under control, except for one word apparently:
We are driving on the freeway and someone cuts me off. I slam on the breaks and hold back a swear word. Before I know it DL is yelling at the guy as we pass him in the other lane.
"You JACKASS!"
"Woah! Ok that wasn't nice DL."
*big puppy eyes* "but mommy he was."
- My daughter is brilliant, either that or a fantastic manipulator. She has moved up to solid food (yeah for leveling) and one of her favourites are some little flavoured puffs. I don't give them to her too often, but when she gets to the point of screaming when there is nothing wrong, I pop on in her mouth.
It works on the Shiny Principle.
"I'm Mad. I'm Mad. I'm Mad. I'm *shove in mouth* oh what was that? *smiles* What were we talking about?"
Funny thing is DL has picked up on me doing this, so now every time Pea makes an unhappy noise her big brother goes in the kitchen, gets a puff and put it in her mouth. In the beginning I thought this was cute "He's being so helpful". But then I noticed that Princess was acting up more often than usually, ESPECIALLY when her brother was around.
I don't have the heart to tell him to stop yet, but she definitely has him wrapped around her finger.
