Mum's say the darndest things

My eldest son Jordan is at the age where he is starting to be fun to hang out with. He is very bright yet so innocent and I'm always joking around with him.
Today in the car on the way home from school that silly Natasha Beddingfield song "These Words" was playing on the radio. He commented on how stupid the song was. I agreed and said not all songs are like that. Most songs have a message or meaning. Then the James Blunt song came on "You're Beautiful". I said in my most serious voice "Jordan, did you know this song was written about me"? He said "Right mom, so who sings it?" I told him and he said "So James blunt thinks you're beautiful?" I said "yep" LOL He thinks thats so cool! Finally after seeing he was way too serious I told him I was just messing around with him.
Then at dinner I told him he had to eat his carrots. He said he hates carrots and why does he have to eat them. I told him because they are good for his eye sight. He said "Right mom. You're just saying that to get me to eat them." I said "No, its true! Ever see a rabbit with glasses?" He looked dumbfounded and said "No because bunnies cant wear glasses". It was so cute how he said "bunnies".
My kids must think I am just a very large child. I'm always joking with them. I'm always telling my 3 year old he cant watch TV after 7 because the TV is sleeping. He really believes me!

In our household, it's my husband that full of beans.

When my 17 year old was 10, we were eating dinner one night and he knew we were going to have smoothies after dinner.  He didn't want to eat all his dinner, but we warned him that if he didn't he couldn't have a smoothie.

"What if I eat half my dinner?" he says.

Hubby replies, "Well, if you eat half your dinner, then you can only have half a smoothie.  We'll pour you half a glass, but you can only have the top half."

"Ok," he says, thinking he's got away it.  It took him another 10 minutes to figure out that the top half of a half a glass was empty. 

he hee heee
 
I'm gonna pull that one next! I should start a little diary of these

LOL thats great

LOL sounds just like me! I am always joking around with my son, but now that he's eight he usually questions me no matter what I say. Funny right before I read this, he asked where we were going for a walk to and I told him Ohio  He used to bug me all the time about what my middle name was. I don't like it so I never share, all he knew is it starts with the letter R. I had him going for awhile telling him it was "rockstar" lol Kid's are great!

This post reminds me of something me and Dale spoke about awhile ago. Our daughter is due around Halloween time,if she is born on Halloween,when shes a little ,to help build her imagination,we are going to tell her all the kids dress in costumes for her birthday and if they come to the door,she has to give them treats to thank them

LOL that is great, one heck of a party for her 

My son recently asked more questions about having babies, before I could give him simple answers and it was fine. Now he asks more in depth questions. The last one was Mom, does it hurt to have a baby? The answer flew right out of my mouth...Yes! It hurts a lot! When he asked why it hurts, not even thinkng I replied because the place a baby needs to come out is nowhere near big enough for a baby to come out!  To which he replied, why can't the place just be big enough then. LOL I wandered about laughing to myself all day at my answer... umm, because then stuff would be falling out all over! Haha 

Jordan is taking a sex ed. class at school. I argue that he is too young but what can you do? Anyway one day he said "Mom, I know what a unerus is!" So funny!
Well the other day we were watching Supernanny on TV. There was a single mom with 3 daughters. Jordan said in his most intelligent voice "Mom, how did she get pregnant if she isn't married?" I didn't know what to say so I said "She used to be married Jordan". So innocent!
Now, they are learing about periods! God, help me!! 

the TV is sleeping. He really believes me!

 

It makes me laugh when DH is trying to explain something to DD but he's going over the level that she will grasp things or he goes on and on that her attention span can't be bothered to cope ....she'll ask "where does rain come from"  and he'll go into GCSE year 6 level explanations of physics & chemistry....you can see it in her eyes "I'm bored now" or she'll say something completely out of context to bring it back to toddler level


"Daddy you remember when the king said " I like to move it , move it that was funny"

LOL yes God help us all haha well you go first and then you can let me know how that goes when I get bombarded with more questions as mine gets more inquisitive.

I mentioned that to Dale and told him how cute it would be if the child thinks they got a bargain out of it..well.... I had to explain what it meant to him and pretty much spell it out to him for him to understand what so funny about the "top half", he thought it meant getting the cream part of the dessert and not the actual dessert ... ahh bless him our daughter is going to take complete advantage of him when shes older lol

I phoned my mum on Sat to check how she was...she's in Miami and said that she just got her power back and things were inaccessable so they lived on what they stocked up on she said " We only had soup and bread for 10 days" ...I'm thinking "Christ that's awful" then she said "NO!! It was great I lost weight!"

lol this reminds me of one day when I was taking a friend's 4yr old daughter to the shop for sweets.. after I buckled her up in the backseat, she asked me "What makes a car start?" and all I could do at first was say "ermmmm well..." trying to think HOW to explain this to a 4yr old lol  finally she said "is it magic?" I was like omg saved!! I told her "Yes, sweetie, it's magic!" lol luckily she's obsessed with magic so she thought that was sooo cool lolol

Glad to hear your mum is OK
