A few funnies that I've been storing up:
N: Tops and bottoms, tops and bottoms, in between, IN BETWEEN, wash 'em all together, wash 'em all together, now they're clean, NOW....THEY'RE....CLEAN!!
While playing outside, I noticed that Nate had stopped to talk to one of the neighbors down the street:
Me: [yelling down the cul-de-sac] Nate, what are you doing?
N: NOTHING, JUST TALKING TO THIS OLD MAN.
Simply put -- my Mother's Day gift:
During errands after school:
N: Are we going home soon? I can feel my blood pressure going up!
Driving by a couple getting arrested on the side of the road:
N: [putting down his window] Thanks for catching the bad guys, Mr. Policeman!
And when I didn't think my Mother's Day gift could be topped, along came Chris's Father's Day gift:
That time that Nate tried to pull a Dora:
N: I've got my snacks, my sword, my backpack, and a map. I'm leaving on my adventure now!
When doing some "real life" science:
N: Dad, I'm a scientist and [looking at Chris's head with a magnifying glass] I can see that your brain has worms in it.
Chris: How can I get rid of it?
N: Hard work and being nice, like mowing the grass and cleaning the bathroom.
While listening to the radio:
N: Mom, what ARE apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur??
Getting the post-field trip debrief:
Me: How was your field trip today?
N: Great! I held a chicken, fed it out of my hand, and it TOOTED on me! It was awesome!
Explaining that ever-evolving gray area called 'parenting':
N: So why do I have to have a consequence?
Me: Because you didn't listen to the rules.
N: But WHY?!
Me: It's to help you learn, Next time you'll think a little more and hopefully listen to what I said. Plus, I'm your mom and helping you learn this kind of stuff is my job.
N: So .... can I talk to your boss instead?
