I will tell him to use his words & not to be angry.

Me: okay sounds good.

Men

Have you ever been told things like "honey you are so beautiful you dont need make up?"  I always thought these comments were just ploys to get me not to spend money on beauty products ( I could have a few issues)  So imagine my suprise when I was packing to go on our family vacation and my son walks in the room looks at my suite case and says 

"mom how are we ever going nto get this suite case shut?

Me - DOnt worry honey, I will figure it out 

I glance in his direction just in time to see him remove my make up bag

Noah - Mom we will just leave this here

Me - Noah, it will shut, put the make up back

The Tattoo

When I was 18 years old I decided it would be a good idea to get a tattoo.  Honestly I had decided it was a good way to show my parents that I could do something that they could not change.  I was an adult - you know.  I did not stop to think that, if they could not change it that ment that I could not change it either.  So here I am at 30 with a tattoo I got when I was 18.

My kids find it intreaguing.  It has been the topic of many a conversation.

Eli - Mommy, whats that? whats that?  Turtle on back, turtle

Me - Yes honey mommy has a turtle on her back

Noah - Swim little turtle! swim!

Do you have any tattoos that you wish were not there?

Duke Style

It was dinner time.  I had fixed our lovely little family dinner and every one should have been sitting at the dinner table.  Noah was laying on the floor next to our Basset Hound, Duke

Me - Noah get up

Me - Noah get off the floor

Noah - Im pratcing Duke Style

Me - What?

Noah - Im practcing my Duke style, you know laying on the floor, eating out of a bowl.  Stuff like that.

Me - Great, sit down.

I am pretty sure Duke just thinks hes being a dog, and does not realize he has style

Cleaning and Other Stuff

As a mother, I stive to make sure my boys understand a thing or two about cleaning.

Me - Noah, bring me your dirty clothes

Noah - I don't have any dirty clothes

Me  - Really? You dont?

Noah - Well, let me smell them

Mission accomplished.

Sometimes I let them relax while I pick up

Me - Noah, I am going to be cleaning the house while you and your brother watch tv

Noah - Good, Do you think after you get this place clean we could have some people over?

Me - What?

Noah - Listen mom, I know you are busy, but this place is a mess and we cant have people over until its clean

And last but not least - they help me in the kitchen

me - where is the trash can lid?

Noah - Oh that?  Well I tried to fix it, but was not able to.  How weird is that?

(please remember Noah was 3 in these stories)

Underwear!

My children have taught me how to incorporate the use of the word underwear into everyday life. You can use this word for everything.  So if you are in a rut and want to jazz up your life,make it a little less boring, i have been told underwear are so funny because you wear them on your bottom.

It can be used as a greeting:

Good morning Underwear!

Or in place of other words instead of good you can say - 

Well Underwear, 

you can jazz it up and say 

well underwear, ya baby hoo ya

If you really love someone you can say

Noah is an underwear head

Your welcome 

My Son - Proof that Marketing works

One morning I was getting breakfast ready for the kids when noah came in and said:

 Noah – Mom your kids are going to love the pillow pet

Me - What?

Noah - the pillow pet, I am going to love it

On a side note, Noah did get a pillow pet for Christmas and he sleeps with it every night, which surprised me because I hate stuffed animals
