I make the WHOOSH noises!


I just caught my 8-year-old son playing with his toy dive-bomber air plane in his bed when he's supposed to be sleeping, so what did I do? I grabbed the plane and ran around the house making "whoosh" noises with him & the dog chasing me, and when he finally caught me, I picked him up and carried him upside down, still flying the plane around making "whoosh" noises with the dog chasing me. Now he has been dropped back on his bed with instructions that if he keeps playing with the plane, he will lose it all day tomorrow (which means I would torment him by running around with it a few times). :-)

Another logical idea

My kids lost the lid to their toothpaste down the drain, and try as I might, I couldn't save it. Our sink is rather old-fashioned I suppose, I and doesn't have those handy cross-bars part way down to catch things. Tala, now four years old, asks me, "Mommy can we just BUY a-nudder lid for it someday?" Ohhhhhhhhhhh I love my kids.

Off with her head!

My son decided to cut out pictures he drew of my husband, himself, and me so that he and his sister could play with them. After about 15 minutes I hear, "MOMMY! Tala ripped your head off the doll of you! Tala, you shouldn't not have done that! Now she'll have to be dead the whole time!" Oh yes, I feel the love. lol

Tidings of Comfort and Sweets

(YESTERDAY) ME: Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains, and the mountains in reply, echo back their joyous strains.

TALA: OOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-reo, in ex-sell-sis deo, OOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOreo...

ME: *snickering quietly* Tala baby, it's not Oreo, it's Glo-ri-a.

Tala: Ohhhh, I fought dey were saying Oreo. Oh well.

Forget the stork


Oh, this is fun! Earlier Alex was trying to say his lungs were in his stomach (brought on by me explaining I was congested, had too much mucus in my lungs), so I showed him a diagram of where the lungs, heart, and stomach were...

Well he decided to continue the discussion of anatomy after Tala was in bed by asking me where a baby comes out when somebody's going to have a baby. I told him where a woman has a uterus, way under her belly, but then he of course had to give a guess on where the baby comes out, which was correct but just about had me cracking up! He said "So the baby comes out where it's all black and hairy?"
(He's had it explained before that when people get bigger they get hair in places like his Daddy's hairy all over) It caught me off guard so I tried my best not to laugh or smile and just said, "Yep."

Well, forget the stork. :-/

Catnippers Anonymous

My mom: My friend suggested I feed Jasmine (mom's long-haired cat) some catnip to calm her down so I can cut her hair.

Me: Mom, you know that makes them high, right?

My mom: Well, if she gets doped up I can definitely cut her hair, can't I?
