He's half way there!

While in Books a Million today, Sean was begging me for a pair of ear bud headphones. He would not stop and I was beyond agitated.

"Please mom, I want to look like one of those cool kids"!!!

I noticed a lady standing close by and she looked at me and chuckled.

I Said, "son, you are already cool".

He replied: "No mommy, I'm only half way there"!

No "figaretting"!

While Lily and I were driving home from a birthday party today, I noticed a man in the car beside us singing. He was obviously totally oblivious of anyone as he was just singing away. I was quite funny. I said to Lily:
"look out your window at that man, he is just singing away".

Lily replied:
"mommy, that's not all he's doing. Look at that man, he's also smokin' away cause he has a smoker in his hand"!

I just had to laugh when she said it, but, then she went on...

"Mom, that thing in his hand, it's called a figarette (cigarette). Figaretting is very bad for you and can kill you. I hope you and daddy never figarette so you won't die and make me go live with someone".

A gold what????

Sometimes Lily will hear us talking and interpret what we say into her own little language. Like the time a few months before her accident, she asked Buddy how he got "cats and rats" in his eyes. He had cataract surgery the day before

Last week I had a scan of my gallbladder and Lily overheard me telling someone about it. Later in the day she looked very concerned and wanted to ask me something.

"Mommy, how did you end up with a "gold bladder"?

"Not afraid"

This one came from my friend Carolee. It is a cute conversastion that went on between a mother and her five year old daughter.

Rowen started Kindergarten and Staci was getting her ready for her first day:


Staci (mom): "Are you scared"?
 
Rowan: "I'm not afraid of wasps, bees or even great white  
             sharks! I'm not afraid of anything!"

"Bird poo"

This one came in from my friend Melissa ~


"Three year old Addison cracks me up. I always tell her I have to clean out her ear to get the bird out, and one day I pulled out the dirty Q-tip and she responds with":

"Hey, that bird pooped in my ear"! : P

"Pie in the face"!

A few weeks back, I posted on facebook what my son Sean said his "lifelong dream" was. It was, of all things, that a pie be shoved in his face. (The boy is hilarious) So, I helped make his wish come true cause I'm a mommy and it's what we do best right???

"Making faces"

I just got this one in from my friend Denise and had to share. It is about the cutest thing I have heard all week :-)


Jackson was trying out smiles to give his teacher the night before the first day of school. He told me:

"well, I will just give her the little sexy face you make when you're pushing the grocery cart".

"What, your school has a restaurant"???

My friend Hope has two of the funniest little boys.
Today she was telling me about Elliot starting kindergarten. We were sharing stories of Lily and Elliot and how the new kindergarten experience was going for them both. We were swapping stories and just getting a kick out of the funny things that have happened with them in the new life journey of "big kid" school. It seems that Elliot really LOVES the cafeteria in his new school. Hope told me the conversation between them when she picked him up on the first day.

Hope: "Elliot, how do you like your new    school"?


Elliot: "Mommy, I love it!!! It has the coolest restaurant". :-)

Milk & cookies

"Madelynisms"

This one came from my cousin Dawn, in Texas. Dawn has a precious little girl named Madelyn and has recently given birth the sweetest baby boy, Corbin. Here is a cute little conversation between Dawn and Madelyn a few days ago.

"Madelyn saw me nursing Corbin. I told her he was drinking his milk. She ran to her play kitchen and ran back with a cookie. She said, "here's a cookie with your milk" ~Madelyn age 23 months


Dawn also had this cute "Madelynism" to share:


"We were eating breakfast one morning when Madelyn's tummy growled. She started laughing and told me she burped in her tummy". ~ Madelyn age 22 months

"She's not in my class"

I was getting my daughter ready for school today when she announced to me that she did not want to go to school. Here is the dialog that followed:

Me: "You have to go because you have so much to learn".

Lily: "But mommy, I already know EVERYTHING"!

Me: "Do you know algebra"?

Lily: "Naaa, she's not in my class".
