Why would she be upset at being called a monster? Surely it's a compliment of the highest order

Haha....Very true. My nephew calls me a monster when I chase him, but it's with a totally different intention.

Football season is here again, so along with all the other bits and pieces we need to get, there are also mouthguards. For those of you that don't know, they're a jaw shaped piece of silicon that you have to mold to the shape of your teeth and gums. In order to do this, you put them in a cup of freshly boiled water till they soften, then you quickly put them in your mouth and bite down.

So anyway, Mav goes through the process and gets his sorted, then Aden comes in and starts doing his. He boils the water and pours it in the cup and pops the mouthguard in the water, then a few seconds later he says, "how do I get the mouthguard out of the water?" (obviously he had numerous options, so it was incredibly funny to all of us that he'd ask such a question. In his defense, what he meant was, is there a 'best' way to go about it, but still it was funny.)

I overheard the millimeter, nearly 3, say this to one of her dolls:

"I'm not a bad, nasty old baby. I'm a good, nasty old baby."

My baby dreams of Nerf

He just came halfway downstairs and said " blurble vlurvle blurble.... I'm going to lie on your bed, OK?"

Why? said I

"I've run out of Nerf darts" said he.

"Oh, OK", I said, "wait, I'm coming"....

So I go to him and say "I'll get you some more Nerf darts, OK? But it's better if you're in your bed"

"Oh OK"

....yup fast asleep, eyes wide open...

so I follow him to his bed to make sure he gets there OK -it's a top bunk

He snuggles down so I say "do you have your darts now?"

"No"

"OK, I'll send someone in with them."

"OK" he says, as he closes his eyes and starts that cute snore they do....

Why does he need to sleep with the Nerf darts?

I overheard this one coming from the back seat of the car on the weekend. It was Aden talking to Max.

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
and this little piggy had none - because he was vegetarian,
and this little piggy went wee wee wee, all in the toilet!

He just had a Nerf war birthday party, I guess he was continuing in his dream...

Can funny/ embarrassing things they say apply to parents?
I'd forgotten this, but Mon's post re sleep-talking reminded me.

About 2 days before the 'rents went on holiday my Dad apparently sat bolt upright in bed and asked, "Where is it! Where's it gone! It's gone!" or somesuch.

Now I sleep in earplugs. But I must have heard something. Because in my dream my Dad and I were searching for Mum's head. And Mum's head was talking, which is why we were so scared someone else would find it. In the dream we hadn't murdered her, but we were scared of her telling the truth (although what the truth was wasn't specified in the dream).

Could just be a coincidence of course.
The fact we'd severed her head that evening I mean.

Probably HLJ, when I switched over from Footfootfoot, I hadn't considered how it would affect the rest of the family. I think the SN thing may have run its course anyway and I'll go back to footx3.

Or not.

The squirell has developed a bit of a split personality. His family remains determinedly linear.

(Or, what SN said.)

Minifob was naming the tabs on my file folders this morning, and got to the folder about my minivan. He read it wrong, and I corrected him, and he adamantly corrected me right back. Apparently, I actually drive a "2003 Monster MPV."
