Kids say the darndest things that they learn from us!

So, I sat down to start my Post-it note Tuesday's, but I realize that my son has made this week so much more interesting than the stuff I was writing. So, here are the gem's of wisdom from my son....and for the first time I will be joining Supermommy to the Rescue's All about kids Tuesday!

I was laying down with my kids, trying to get them to take a nap. I was getting infuriated, but at the same time they were playing and not fighting and giggling. But, then my 1-yr old daughter stuck her finger up my nose. Next thing I know, my nose is bleeding, I am past pissed at this point (yeah remember I said that word, it will come back in a second). I yell "Enough! It is time to go to sleep!" I look in my 2-yr old's eyes to show him I was serious, he looks back at me and says "that was HILARIOUS!"

That same little sweetheart of a daughter just kept poking at my computer and then smiling at me because she knows I am a sucker for that smile. So I finally firmly told her NO, and held her hand. Well of course she started crying. My sweet little son looks at me and said "Mommy, you made her cry and she is JUST a baby. You hurt the baby." But two seconds ago that cry didn't seem to bother him as he body slammed her like he was a quarterback and she was a freshman that should probably be trying out for the cheer team instead.

Sigh. My son, like most, is a sponge. Not only is he a sponge, but he is a smart sponge that speaks more on the level of a 4 or 5 year old. So, really, it is my fault that he repeats what I say. But in some cases, what I say is taken a BIT out of context. For example....today when the little stinker hit his sister, and using our new system, I told him I was taking a penny away. What did he say? "I am sad mommy and you made me sad. Are you happy about that?" WHAT??????? What do you POSSIBLY say to that other than here let me buy you the whole dang toysrus well other than I don't know what!

But, in this same case, this was TOTALLY my fault. I told my son he couldn't have his cupcakes until his party at school. I had to repeat it the typical bazillion times before I finally looked at him and said "I said no, I meant no, don't ask me again" to which he responded "You know what! That is it. You have REALLY pissed me off now!" and stomped off. Uuuuhhhhhh, OOPS!?

And finally, it was little man's birthday so we were splurging at McDonald's (I know, huge right?). Well, someone almost slammed us from the side and my husband looked over and said "what are you doing?!" to which my son responded "GO WOMAN!" Again.....oops.
