From the five year old who says, "Nor shall I..."

"I want to wear my camouflage shirt." (She hasn't got a camo shirt. Five minutes later she appears wearing her tie-dye shirt. Hippie camouflage, I suppose.)

"The red pigeon-looking bird is in our yard." (Cardinal) "I call cardinals red pigeons because they look like pigeons."

I'd be following them around with the video camera trolling for gems like this. So cute!

This morning Dazza was getting dressed and Max was hanging about. All of a sudden he pops up and says to me, "Daddy has a little doodle, and I have a BIG doodle."

All I could do was laugh while Max just kept going on about it, and Dazza was half laughing and half telling him to shut up about it.

Yes, they're just heading off to fishing now.

Also, apparently Aden has a little doodle too. Max just said so.

I sense a theme developing.

Minifob said something similar a few months back. "Daddy's privates will never be as long as mine!"

Well Max has just turned three. He's obsessed with his doodle. I'm sick of the sight of it to be honest. And telling him to take his hands off it. And telling him I don't want to see it.

The list goes on.

It never stops you know.

Yesterday I gave my daughter, a nineteen year-old, a list of stuff I wanted her to do for me. "You should be nicer to me," she said, "remember that it's me who'll choose the home you get put into."

Nice.

Nice.
When momwolf would get cranky I would just look at her and say, "Mother, need I remind you that I know every single bad nursing home in the county?" For humorous effect, I would often say this in front of people, usually nurses who were trying to do something that she was refusing.

(calling momwolf "mother" was my equivalent for her using my first, middle, and last name at the beginning of a comment)

You know, I've said pretty much those same words to my father. Pretty recently. He's 64, but pretty fit and healthy, so not much chance of anything happening too soon, but still. lol

Being the mother of two teenage sons and having a husband, I'm aware of the penis fascination, but I think Max is the worst I've ever seen. He's certainly worse than the other two boys ever were.

OMG yes.

"But I'm not pointing it at you, so it's okay."
"No, it's never okay in front of other people. You have to be by yourself, no one else in the room."
"I will close my eyes, then no one else will be here."
"No!"
