My goodness, I have been so blessed to have so many great kids in my life. The thing is they are absolutely hilarious. Nolan, my four old, is notorious for saying the unexpected. A year ago he pulled my pajama pants away from my butt and peeked in and said, "hey mom I can see your butt" I said "yep there it is" then he said "well, it wooks fantastic' and I said, "really thanks bud you just made my day!"
The other day my niece announced loudly before we were about to enter the theatre to see "diary of a wimpy kid dog days", which I highly recommend .... hilarious. "I'm probly gonna have to poop now because I've been eating so much."
A few years back my niece was sitting on my dad who was stretched out in the grass and suddenly it occurs to her to ask, "Pops do you have a baby in your belly?" his response, "nope just a bunch of beer."
Even before that in my ex-husbands family there were three aunties pregnant at the same time, two of them had big "sisters waiting one was about 5 and one was about 4 the 4 year old is sitting next to the 5 year old at a party we were having she says, "Alli, do you have a baby in your belly?" Alli responds,"No." her cousin says "well than you can have a beer."
Two winters ago I was in a sour winter -might-never-end sort of mood. We had just been dumped on by another pile of snow and I was shoveling it by had and swearing and grumbling under my breath. Nolan 2 then was parked on top of one the snow banks eating snow like it was going out of style. He says, "mom I'm cold let's go in". I hastily stated,"maybe we should just move somewhere warm!" He goes, "yeah wike in da house".
Then you have the awesome songs they learn. "I'm sexy and I know it", "fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey, wish I had a good girl to miss me"...... ummm what! When did yankee doodle stick a feather up his butt! That's what I want to know!
All I know is that there is an amazing time in a kids life before they start to be embarassed by everything. They are naturally funny and they have no clue how funny they are. This is a time to treasure before long they will be a bunch of wise asses like us. For now they are just plain old funny.
Not even kidding.
