when is cute ... not so cute??
Late last night I was playing BF2 not paying to much attention. My son Jake went up to my wife and said ...
"Here Mommy you can have these." as he gives her a small bowl with about 20 peanuts in it.
"Wow, Jakey thats very nice for you to share" she encourages, but realizing we don't have any peanuts in the house. We do however have mixed nuts. So she thinks she is so clever that she has deduced this and as she eats them she asks ... "Jakey did you eat all the other nuts and leave just the peanuts??" ... in her CSI ways.
she eats another .. "you sure you didn't eat just all the big ones??"
"No Mommy, I just ate all the chocolate ones ..." he replied.
"Joey??" she aks me "Did you give Jakey some trail mix?"
"No I just gave him some peanut M & Ms !!!"
She didn't think she was so clever after that as she got a very sour look on her face as she just realized that the boy sucked all the chocolate off the M&Ms and left her just a bowl full of spit covered peanuts.
submit that to parents magazine. youll get like 25 bucks and they'll publish it. my favorite part of the magazine is the section of stories like that.
my fav is the one where the mom went to the hair dresser and the hair dresser asked the kid what color they should make mommys hair and the kid replied. " yellow like her teeth!"
Thats where my (pregnant) wife spends most of her time.
I also will show her your sig.
My brother was told he couldn't have a bag of M&M's once. He still went around to everyone upstairs. "Can you open this?" No, you were told you couldn't have them. A little while later he comes up with the open bag and is munching on them. I asked where he got them. Mikey opened them for me. He did?!?! I go down to my husband, why did you open the bag for him when he was told he couldn't have them? He said "He came downstairs and said his mom asked if I could open the bag for him so I did."
