I took the summer off from writing because it had become more of a chore then an enjoyable experience. Now that some time has passed, I hope to share some of my life with you again.

What do you do with a Boom Box??

Last night I let Ms. 3rd grade stay up extra late to watch some of the American Music Awards...she wanted to hear, "Moves Like Jagger," which I can appreciate.

It was about the time that Jennifer Lopez did her first song that I realized I may have made a terrible decision.

"Mama, WHAT is she wearing??"

Umm, a sequined bathing suit.

"Come on mom, she's not going swimming."

No...
Well...she exercises a lot and she wants people to be healthy, so she is showing off her fit body to encourage others to work out.

"You exercise a lot...heehee."

Wise ass.

Next thing I know Ms. 3rd grade is on her hands and knees attempting to "exercise" like J-Lo. Awesome.


"Mama." 

Yes, Miss K.

"What does the tooth fairy do with all the teeth?"

She makes jewelry and gives it to Santa and the Easter Bunny for the holidays.

"So the Easter Bunny might be wearing my tooth this year?..."
"Gross."




Pre-k 2, what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas this year?

"I want a purple dress and purple wings and purple shoes and purple striped tights and purple sunglasses."

Is purple your favorite color?

"No...it's green."

Anything else?

"A dishwasher for you mom."


Can his name be Johnny Depp?

Time keeps on Ticking....

Standing in front of the cashier at Fresh Market...
"Mama,"

Yes, my lovely 4th child, whom I often refer to as princess, enlighten me with your great words of wisdom...
  
"I tooted in my farting pants!"

I'm sorry...you what??

"I tooted in my farting pants!"

Did you say excuse me?

"Excuse me."

You have excellent manners.

With the passage of time, all names have been changed to protect those whose craziness I expose...I'm sure it will be easy to catch on.

Yesterday, I was changing into my gym clothes while Miss K was in the room.

"snicker, snicker...heehee..."

What's so funny??

"I can see your body and it looks silly."

Come on...really??

Bodies have been of huge interest around here the past few months. So, if you have a problem with the word penis...stop reading here.

Just the other day, Pre-K 2 was straddling her crib rail and shouted out, "Ouch!! I hurt my weiner!!"

You don't have a weiner...

"I know, but it hurts anyway."


"Mama, I know why pre-K 2, Miss K and Madame 3rd grade don't have penises..."

Oh???

"because they fell off when they were born."

Nope. No. Definitely not.


I am proud to share that bath time has turned into an educational experience in our house...

"Miss K, my penis is really long."

"Let me see..." (after viewing) "How did you make it do that??"

"I don't know, it just happened."

"Well, I'm gonna cover it up and you make it happen again..."

If only it was that easy.
