This and that makes me laugh

Oh the thoughts of children...how priceless they sure are!

This evening for example is Fend for yourself Friday, sometimes Family fun Friday but usually a low key night. After the VERY busy week we have most of us just need the down time. I truly should be working on a big project for my church job but well I just am not. I truly have no day off this week since I work my dispatch job tomorrow night for 6 hours, Sunday the easiest of days a couple hours worked at church.
ANYWAY, back to the best part of my post the silly/sweet children of mine.
When we arrived home youngest son is overheard telling his sister "I am going to be in the bathroom for a LONG time so DON'T disturb me." Like father like son is all I had to say on that one while hubby laughed!

Then a short time ago as the Cardinals game began sweet son proceeded to ask me 1000 questions about his trio block built tank, including wanting me to verbally guide him in building another one. How is it that the boys will talk my ear off, requiring me to not only listen but respond but the girls are happy to listen to music with me?? I also love that my husband likes to yell, "Bedtime" LIKE anyone is listening!

Next we have oldest son who is consumed with his electronics on this free for all night. At one point he asked how much a particular song was to download. When I asked what song he wanted this is it gangham style, so like any reasonable parent I tried not to laugh at the irony of a clearly not so young Korean dude singing pop music. The words aren't bad at all, makes the video even more funny reading them as well. Check them out But wait the story gets better. While watching the video over my shoulder so I could verify my approval he says there are two parts he doesn't like. The elevator part with the guy in his "underwear" (boxer shorts really) and the end of the video different than the one I linked where he is on the toilet. He even covered the screen to spare me of it too. But as if that wasn't enough precious innocence for me he says, "At least his girlfriend gets to be in the video with him. HA! Sure that's his girlfriend. I ADORE that my kids are sheltered enough to truly believe you would only behave this way in such a circumstance.

Recently #2 has asked questions about people having babies out of wedlock, not her words mine. It probably doesn't help that my cousins (the only 1st cousins on my dad's side) BOTH have/will have their first child without being married. Her exact words were, "Do they just make themselves have a baby?" My answer both times she asked was they have to have sex to get pregnant because it takes a boy part and a girl part to make a baby. That's why there is a mom and dad. I am also fully aware she doesn't know what sex means but since she hasn't asked for more info there I will wait on her. Whoa is me for that day but it will come sooner than later I am guessing. We already had the anatomy of a period conversation which bummed her out. This would be the ONE upside to having a hysterectomy at a young age for me. I digress...

As for littlest, well she had quite the outfit on this morning. I began styling her hair but she completed that too.      What is a mom to do but allow her this short time of personal freedom. No matter where she goes to school next year, between the two possibilities she shall have a uniform.

Back to #2 in a negative but still funny way. She clearly feels loved through physical touch and words of affirmation. Her sensitive heart shows up often if I even blink a negative word, ie acting like that makes you seem like a jerk = You are a jerk daughter of which I will find a note somewhere in the near future claiming I think she is a jerk. Ugh! Anyway, tonight when she was being a moody adolescent I corrected her. In her attempt to throw a pouty fit she spewed, "You are an only child you don't know anything about dealing with brother and sisters." Cha ching girly girl. You my dear do not know anything about being the sole focus of anything OR the insanity of what I grew up in either. BUT I am the parent and laughed at her jab. (well not to her face). Touche my dear, we shall tango many more days. She best do some research cause this momma will win! Now when #4 gets here I may need this practice.


I think there was more to share but all I know for now. Until I manage to type again happy blogging my few friends that read and write their own posts!!
