I laughed so much at this thread that I just had to read it to dh! One thing I've learned from this: those with boys have at least one thing in common: fear of the weenie thief!
"don't put ketchup on the dog" ds age 7: "We are not speaking the same language here" *face palm* done while yelling at mom
This one just happened... To ds7 who was holding the baby: "Stop putting things in his mouth and give him his binky!"
"Just because Daddy has fuzzies in his bellybutton does NOT mean a mouse lives in there..." DS3 thinks mice live in Daddy's Bellybutton and shed their fur in it. *face palm* This Just in: "Do you like to play the Ding-Dong game?" When I pick up DS2 and swing him like a pendulum and we say "ding dong ding dong". I really felt that statement needed an explaination. lol
My oldest son at age 5 right after Freddy shaved off his beard- "that's cool daddy, now put it back on."
Me to my oldest when he was hanging upside down from a limb in my mother's maple tree- "When you fall out and break your legs don't come running to me!" My neighbor's daughter in law was with me and said, "oh that is terrible!" I was so glad she didn't hear me tell our three older kids to go upstairs and fight it out once and for all and whoever survived we would keep. Well actually I would not have minded her hearing it just so I could have seen her shocked face. Okay so I do have an evil side. I come by it honest. My daddy would get in a silly mood and tell us to go play in the traffic. Thankfully we knew better. I can still hear him saying it and my mother saying, "Now Bob!" Ahhh good times!
ROFL, Sloan!!!!!!!! I'm blanking on her name now... um... the woman who was an actress on The Facts of Life (Blair) who is now a major home school advocate... Anyhow, she has a rule in her home that if the kids want to fight, I mean physically fight, they have to stand at opposites ends of the yard and scream "I love you" at each other three times first. After that, if they still want to duke it out, they can do it on the trampoline. I'm also cracking up over the weenie theif idea. I haven't used that line myself, but it reminds me of the conversation that prompted this thread. A friend and I were talking about the things we say and she told this story: Her three year old ran to the top of the stairs stark naked and pointed, with both hands, at his boy parts. To which his mother replied, "Why yes, that is a very nice penis."
My mother was ahead of her time. She used to make us hug and say I love you when we fought. It nearly killed us to do that! Of course we ended up squeezing instead of hugging and it always ended in laughter.
(All I keep hearing is "Mom, what are you laughing for? Mom, what are you reading about? Moooom? Why are you laughiiiiiiing?" :lol: )
