Mom's The Word

My kid, who I don't really write about alot on here because I am still a little paranoid of pervs, is a character. He looks like me and has a great sense of humor. The greatest thing about kids from the age of 5 to 8 is you can pretty much get them to do anything. 

I bought the Zumba DVD's a few years ago and told him to learn all of the routines and he could exercise with me. Two hours later, I sat on the couch watching him, drinking sweet tea and laughed at him doing the booty circle. Sucker!

So I thought it would be funny to let you in on some of our conversations. Take note. It takes special mom skills to have these conversations. They leave you literally speachless sometimes. 

I asked Ian "what did you have for lunch?" He says "pizza, chocolate milk and what are those green bean things?" I say, "green beans" he says "yeah that's it."

Driving one Sunday Ian says " mom look at that cow what is he doing on top of the other cow?" my reply.."forming a conga line." ohhhh", he says.

Not long ago, Ian was being sassy so I told him that if he didn't stop it he was going to lose his teeth. He said, "you can't do that mom, I will look funny". I gotta find some new empty threats that one didn't work.

Coming home from eating out, I notice he hasn't really said anything in like 15 minutes. He gets in the car and says, "Dad can you hurry up?" Why Ian? Cause I gotta take a shit". 

"Mom, hurry come in here and look in the toilet". I run into the bathroom "What? Are you okay?" Yeah, look at these birthmarks I left!" I think he meant skid marks.

"Mom, when will I get hair under my arms?" Me: "I don't know about 13, Why?" He says because I am pretty sure I am starting to grow a beard." Me: Huh? Arms and face go together?

Ian asked the other day how old my grandmother was. I told him 83. He said, "how many is that in dog years?" I said, you don't measure a person's age in dog years in which he replied "then how old is she?" 83! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

And finally this one just last week. We went to our first ever Tennessee Titans football game. The cheerleaders at one point went out on the field to do a dance and ...

Jokingly, I told Ian I was going to be a Titans cheerleader in which he replied "first off mom you can't be 40 years old." He's now grounded for 2 weeks.

Happy Tuesday,

Dusty

  1. bwahahaha! I love kids of that age...actually pretty much from when they start talking in sentences to about 8 or 9 they are the most hilarious creatures on earth. My baby sister is currently five--my family, in years past, has literally sat around in the living room all together, not watching tv but watching her and laughing our heads off.

  2. Brilliant!! conversations with kids are the best and "forming a conga line," what a great response.
    I had this gem of a conversation with a 5yo at the weekend:
    Amber - "why do people call you Beccie when you are really called Rebecca?"
    Me - "well, it's like how we call you Bam when your real name is Amber"
    Amber- "so you're my niece?"
    You've got to love kid logic.

  20. i loved this dusty!! i laughed pretty hard at the birthmark comment, but you know how i love poop!

    my sis-in-law writes down all the funny things her kids say all year and then she types it up, inserts photos, prints it on cardstock, binds it up with rings and ribbon and gives it out at christmas each year. it's always one of our favorite gifts from her.

  28. I love the conga line thing. That is the best explanation EVER. I probably would have said they were playing leapfrog and got stuck.
