Henry: Mommy, I'm a boy and you're a girl.
Me: You're right.
Henry: And some people are big and some people are small.
Me: You're right.
Henry: And we don't talk about how big people's bums are.
Me: You're right, honey.
Henry: Look at me, Mommy. Look at what I'm doing.
Me: (Looking at him doing nothing but looking back at me) What are you doing?
Henry: Look at me. I'm not saying "sucks."
Me: (Turning my face so he can't see me laughing. Speechless).
Henry: Mommy, I'm not saying "sucks" because it's rude and inappropriate.
(Did I mention how much I'm learning from my kids?)
you should write a book or a column in a magazine or something.

I think Henry and Svea should write a book. Definitely. And illustrate it.
ReplyDeleteCasey - can't wait to see you!
Did you ever hear Eric Clapton's song, "Livin on Tulsa Time"? You would rewrite it, Livin on Toddler time. A sure hit.
ReplyDeleteI say "sucks" all the time! Does that mean I'm rude and inappropriate? And how the heck does he know the word "inappropriate"??? In the interest of full disclosure, I once told Arwyn that her attitude sucked. Awesome parenting moment.
