Eat your ham ...

Me:  Keegan, can you help encourage your brother to eat all his ham please.

Keegan (6): Aden!  Eat all you ham or I'll break your water guns into a million pieces!

Me:  KEEGAN!  That's just mean!

A (4) <looks distraught>

Keegan:  What?!?  I wasn't really going to do it!

Me:  But Aden doesn't know that!  So that's why it's mean.  Encouraging would be saying something like "Hey buddy, eat all your ham and we can go out and play together!"

Keegan:  Well why didn't you tell me?!?!  I didn't know!


Good grief.

That's weird.

Aden (4): How old am I in that picture Mommy?

Me: You're just a baby sweetie.

A: Yeah, but how OLD am I?

Me: Well, if you're just a baby you weren't even one yet.

A: So I was zero but I was still alive? That's weird.

The Diplomat

Me: (in a bad singing voice) Soooooorry for party rockin' ...

Aden (4): Can you turn up the TV?

Me: What? You don't love my singing?

Keegan (6): (smiling sweetly) We love your singing mommy, this just isn't the time for it.

Easter Bunny

When we came downstairs this morning and the kids saw all the eggs "hidden" all over the place...

Me: Good thing I remembered to put the cats in the basement last night before I went to bed!
Rowan: (eyes wide and giggling) Yeah! I bet a giant rabbit would scare the heck outta them!

They're not the only ones Rowan.

LOL.

Snowman

Keegan (6): Hey mommy, can I go outside and guard our snowman?

Me: I don't think you need to guard the snowman...

Keegan: Yes, I do!  A bird could come and take the sticks to make a nest!

Me: That's true!

Keegan:  It is???  I was just saying that so I could go outside!


I love the honesty!

Mack attack!

Me (to my niece Mackenzie):  Hey Mackey, are you surly?

Mackey (3):  Nope.

Me:  Are you bossy?

Mackey:  Nope.  I'm pretty.


'Nuff said.

Looking for frogs

Oh Reilly ....

So there are way too many funny kids out there for me to limit this to my own ...

My niece Reilly (8):  Umm, are you guys (her mom and I) going to New York?
Me:  We'd like to, we're going to try ...
Reilly:  I've ALWAYS wanted to go to New York.
Me:  Yeah?  Me too ... and I'm almost 40!
Reilly: (giant eyes growing wide)  I thought you were young!
Me:  I'm 37.
Reilly:  Well, at least you look young.

Good point Reilly, good point.

Silly Aden ...

So this morning the boys are standing in front of the sink when Keegan (6) turns the water on full throttle ... and then exclaims "OH! Splash!"

Aden (4) opens his eyes really wide, turns his head towards Keegan and in his best weirdo/monster voice says "We do the MONSTER SPLASH!"

Rowan Dec, 2010

‎"I'm not a lady, I just scream like one." ~ Rowan, age 7. LMAO!"

Chloe (not my kid, but funny as hell) on Xmas eve 2011 ...

‎... so the kids are buckled into Jason's van and I'm saying good bye and Merry Christmas ... Chloe starts to tell me a story when Jason (being funny) obnoxiously interupts her. I say to the girls "is he always this annoying?" to which they respond with a resounding "YES!". Koren and the kids and I are all laughing when Chloe says something ... now Jason's laughing and asks if I heard her, and I didn't. So he asks her to repeat herself and she does ...

"You're lucky you broke up with him!" she says...

 ... once I stop laughing my ass off I reply "Sometimes Chloe, ya just gotta thank God for unanswered prayers!"

*Snort!!!* Totally made my Christmas eve!

Poor Aden...

Poor Aden!

He must have either been dreaming, or forgot his party was today, because he woke up ... ran out into the hallway and collapsed crying...

 "YOU DIDN'T LET ME EAT MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!"

Animal words ...

Keegan: (as he watches Rowan meow at the cat) Know why I never talk to animals in their words?

Me: No Keegan, why don't you talk to animals in their words?

Keegan: 'cause I don't know what they're saying and I might tell them to bite me.

Tru dat.
