“Mama has a baby in her tummy, I have a baby doggie in my tummy and Jackson has a baby super hero in his tummy.”
“My tummy hurts – the baby doggy in my tummy is really kicking me.”
On explaining to Jackson that “ma’am” is short for “madam” – “Oh, yea! I get it. Like Madam and Eve.”
On the highway en route to dinner with Peter in the city, “Dad, you got two toilets at your work? Me and Micah both gotta go bad!”
Micah as he strokes my belly, “This little baby’s gonna be mine, right mama?” Um, well, it’s actually our whole family’s baby, honey. “Yea, but it’s gonna be all mine, right?”
On arriving soaking wet at 4am for the fourth straight night in a row after another epic potty training fail and being asked if he’s wet Micah responds, “Just a teeny tiny bit, mama.”
“I like dogs.” Yes, Micah, I know. “I really like dogs, mama.”
By Jackson when arriving home one afternoon, “Oh wow! Wow, look how clean it is in here! Awesome! Who did this?” (Thanks son; mother hangs head in shame).
“I not Micah! I Jackson’s brudder!”
Overhear anything good at your house this week?
I miss the days of such wonderfully worded conversations! My daughter is married and living in South Korea. My dogs talk to me (as does the hubby), but I’m not sure anyone would believe what they are telling me! ;)
Those under jams that little boys wear are such a blessing our grandson rarely wakes up in time and he is six. They save sheets and the save his sense of privacy.
Congratuations on your little one your family sounds so cute. Take care.
Too true. My oldest child also wet at nite until age 6, more than three full years after he was daytime trained. The other 2 kids didn’t do it like that at all. All kids are different and nighttime pottytraining is overrated because I like sleep better ;)
Thanks for some giggles this morning…so cute ;) Anything funny overheard at my house-hmmm…well let me just say I am glad there’s no mic at my house- my hubs and I talk about everything ;) There’s no limits with us…I mean this in a very good and very hilarious way :)
Not quite as cute as Madam and Eve, but my 5-yr-old was reading James aloud during family worship…according to her version Christians are to care for orphans and “windows” in their distress.
Hee hee – my windows are in a bit of distress over here and could use some cleaner! :)
“Mom, I think I’ll name my pet lizard after you.”
Um… thanks hon, I’m honored.
Okay, apparently I was not getting your posts when you announced that you are pregnant!!! Congratulations! Can’t wait to meet you and give you two a hug (if you’re okay with that, of course)!
I love me some hugs!!
‘Mom what if we flushed the dog down the potty?”
“Then we would be sad”
“But where would she go?”
“With the poop and pee to the septic tank”
“And then a big giant eats it?”
Bwahahahahahha!! I take it you have boys?
I didn’t know you were having a little one – Hurray and congrats. Babies are so exciting!! {And your house definitely sounds interesting!}
The other day I was outside the bathroom folding laundry while Chloe and John (3, 2) were having a bath. Chloe suddenly shouted, “John, you peed in my bath. Yuck. What do you say?” to which John replied, ” Oh, ‘xcuse me, Oh-ey” and the play went on as before. I had no idea that proper etiquette demanded that you say excuse me if you accidentally pee in the tub! LOL
Ah, boys and pee – it’s the story of my life!!
my 7 yo overheard me talking to my husband about some friends of ours getting married this weekend….ok..they are a bit older than, ahem, us. She looked at me with surprise in her eyes and said ” they ARE????? I didn’t know you could get married that old”.
My daughter Jocelyn (age three and a half): “Me and Robbie are gonna get married. I need to go find a dress.” (Robbie is our son, 18 months.)
Later: “Wheeler is our pastor.” (Wheeler is our cat.)
When a character was dying in a movie: “She not feeling good like you, Mommy, right?” (No, dear, my foot is broken. That’s not the same thing as dying.)
And a great one from several months ago:
Jocelyn, during family worship time: “No, Daddy, God not good all the time.”
Daddy: “Why do you say that, Jocelyn?”
Jocelyn: “He not. Come see.” [She leads us to our stairs, stops about halfway up them, and points at the wall where she scribbled on it with crayon a few months ago.] “See, Daddy! I write on the wall and that’s not good. God wrote on the wall too, so he not all the time good.”
We had to explain that what He did in Daniel 5 is a bit different from crayon scribbling on the wall.
hee hee!! We have a LOT of scribbles in our house and on our walls…. thankfully God’s goodness is not connected to them! :)
Oh my… that writing on the wall had me laughing till I had tears… oh goodness… hahahah… :)
Altogether too quiet here….so thank you so much for letting me eavesdrop. Loved every word!
My three are school age now, they still make me laugh just about every day, but oh how I miss the silly sweetness of the early years.
Hey there :-) I set up a meet and greet for people going to Relevant. Come check it out and find your name.
Love,
Traci

So cute, those two boys of yours! (And you too, my friend, you are now adorable times two.) :-)
Ha! Or hungry times two at least :)
OK…had to post this one from last week:
Reagan, 7 yo…was playing with her barbie and ken dolls from toy story 3. I over heard this conversation. Reagan (the officiant): Ken, you are getting married, you need to say your vows. Ken (in Reagan’s voice): AEIOU. There, I said my vows.
Ginny, that is darling!
Can I come over?
Miss you. And your boys–even if I haven’t gotten to meet them yet! One day!
XOXO
How about October? Let’s have a big old slumber party with 200 of our closest friends, eh?
Love Madam and Eve. This was a while ago, but one of my favorite quotes from my students this year is…
“Paulo, where is your paper?”
“Miss, I don’t have the paper. Jesus came and took it up to heaven because it was so good.”
Tee hee! Those are great.
Here was our best line of the week: 4 y.o. wears a saucepan like a hat and says, “Look, mama! I’m a pothead.”
Oh my word!! Ha!!
oh my dang these are hilarious
“Madam and Eve.” – my absolute FAVE
We do not believe in humor at my house. A’hem :) We just laugh at the pugs all the time. All we heard at our house was a bunch of pugs snorting
well.. i didn’t hear it at my house but I sure did hear something goood.
We are blessed.
Since our little newborn Sophie arrived 2.5 weeks ago, I’ve been keeping note of ‘quote of the day’ in my journal…so here are a few things overheard in our house the last couple weeks:
Gordon: so now that you have this maternal instinct…do you also want to migrate, or hibernate? Or just lactate?
Me: did you fart??
Gordon: uh, yes…
Me: thank goodness!! I thought it was a dirty nappy
After Gordon arrived back home from work, talking about his day, I summarized:
‘so you’ve had a busy time doing lots of different things…while I’ve been busy doing a few things lots of times’
Me, so desperately tired and hungry – quickly chopping up stuff for a pre-supper supper:
‘I’m amazed at my ability to wield a knife on such little sleep…’
That was so cute!! All of it is just hilarious! What a blessing to be the mama of boys! :)
