Nakia Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My girls gave me a "massage" today. Emma was working on my legs, rubbing lotion in, etc. She said to me in her most serious voice, "Mother, your legs are extremely hairy. I simply cannot work in these conditions." :tongue_smilie: This evening, Cora was running through the house screaming really loudly. This is an ongoing problem with her that we work on A LOT! I asked her, "Cora, what have I told you about screaming?" And she said, "STOP FREAKIN' SCREAMING, CORA!" Oops. Please share something here so I don't feel like a total bonehead.

Tenaj Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 How funny! Love the "working conditions". Not embarrassing, but I was at Hobby Lobby last night with my four youngest kidlets. They were shopping for plastic army men sets and it was a big decision. We were there for about 45 minutes and every set was carefully examined for price vs. contents. Each kid made their decision except for my 7yods. I finally asked him what he was going to choose and he said, in a very dramatic and loud voice, "Yes, I've begun this journey and now I must finish it". A cashier stocking the shelf behind us was cracking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 :lol::lol::lol: I was laying down in bed and talking with my dd's a year or so ago. One of them, I think the youngest, said, "Mom, why do your boobs disappear when you lay down?" :001_huh: I said, "They're there, they're just in my armpits!"

kalanamak Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My son is rationing his blueberry intake, because 4 big bowls a day make TUCKS a necessity. He asked his dad to buy more TUCKS, and his dad, being semi-literate, took the container to the store to "match" before purchase (a frequent ritual at our house). When he brought it back, with the new container. My son picked up the "sample" and, feeling how light it was, sped into daddy's room telling him he'd been "ripped off again". (Hubby is gullible). Hubby got defensive. I finally hiked in and separated this 60 year old and 9 year old and shouted out the situation so everyone would shut up and go back to their corners. What depths I have sunk to, and what volume I have reached for, all over a tub of TUCKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I paid for my groceries today, turned the heavy cart towards the exit, and sang "Beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeep, beep-beep," on my way to the car. I caught a few eyes on me, and smiled back. Only when I started unloading my groceries that I realised I didn't have my kids with me. Ooops. Instead of entertining my kids, I was entertaining strangers. :lol: At the very least I could have been singing a real song, and not the 'beep beep beep' variation.

I do the "baby sway" even when I don't have a baby in my arms. We could meet somewhere and you could sing while I dance. It would be great!

I used mine in a different but closely related area after childbirth. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinaBreece Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Aaron has taken to saying (quite often, I'm afraid), "Mommy, why are you SO BIG? You must eat LOTS of vegetables." He's noticed lately that Daddy seems to drop weight at will, while Mommy gains a pound every time she so much as smells chocolate...:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 OP, we're having girl #3 and I can see my kids saying things like that! Screaming is problem at our house too. :) My oldest's nickname is cuco like cuckoo clock. DD2 used to call her caca. :D After we found out that this baby is also a girl DH had a moment imagining his future. "Oh, man, there will underwear and bras all over the house!" I couldn't resist and told him to imagine us all 4 of us having our periods at the same time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2scouts Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My kids like to joke that I'm the one who's the boss in our house, but we let Dad think he's the boss. I've gained quite a lot of weight over the years with all my pregnancies and the kids think it's hilarious to go around telling people that "Mom is large and IN CHARGE!":glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My little girl was talking about when she will get her periods. Ms 3 - "Well you will have to buy me some pads, Mama." Me - "Sure, but you won't need them for a long time, not until you're big." Ms 3 - "And when I'm that big, will you let me use the laminator by myself?" Clearly she knows what's really important about growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of a time when we were coming out of piano lessons, and my mom was saying to us kids, "Get in the back, back, back, back, baaaack.", while holding the door open for the back of the station wagon. The only thing was, she was clucking the word "back" like a chicken. Little did she know we weren't the only ones in the parking lot until she heard the gales of laughter from a couple down the row of cars.
