I started writing down things I hear around the house that I never thought I would hear because, well, they make me laugh. I hope you like them too cause Mom of Boys is now a series on the 3rd Sunday of each month. If you missed our first Mom of Boys posts be sure to go back!
Let’s explain how this will work and who things were said by…
A = my skinny, karate obsessed, nearly 6 year old
L = my spunky, snack loving, nearly 3 year old
J = my geeky chic husband
M = me aka mom of boys
This is in no way meant to be a parenting lesson. Just a little peek into our crazy and at times comical lives.
Mom of boys…things you never thought you’d hear in your home, then you birthed a boy.
A: Smell my shoes. M: Nobody wants to smell your shoes. A: No really, they smell like cake.
A: Dad, I like you just the fatness you are.
M: What are you doing? L: Getting all the dirtiness off. M: where did you get it? L points in car seat. M: Are you going to eat it? L: No! It’s dirty. M: Are you going to eat it after the dirtiness is off? L: Yes. Later… M: Did you eat it? L: No. M: Why? L: It was dirty.
M: Why ya taking off your shirt? Are you renting your clothes? L: I want to be freezin’. I like to be freezin’ cold.
M: I’m pretty sure you’ll survive a broken banana.
A: Mom, when I grow up I’m not going to be a policeman. M: Oh? A: Cause then when I get a bad guy and put him in the back of my police car he could toot and I’d be like, oh, disgusting!
A: My stomach is divided. On the food side it’s full, but on the candy side it’s not because I’ve had none.
M: That’s a great idea! A: There’s little people in my head that give me all those ideas.
L: Can I have a piece of candy? M: No, you already had cake. L: But, cake isn’t candy.
L: Aiden, say something really loud. A: Thiefs live in the wilderness! Lincoln, do you want to survive awesome as man? L: I want to be a thief. A: No you don’t, then they will put you in jail. They put you in a cell, it’s like a square room with bars on it. They give you food and drink so you can survive, but it’s yucky food and drink and you get sick because you don’t get enough sun.
M: There are things you don’t do as a general rule. Like, you don’t suck on your leg unless a snake bites you and you have to get the poison out. Other than that there is no reason to suck on your leg.
A: Can we go to the forest and give a bunny a carrot? Or maybe we should plant the carrot and if it grows orange give it to the rabbit and if it grows purple I’ll keep it and eat it because I’ve never had a purple carrot.
M: I don’t want to wear your spit.
M: Don’t spit so high you’re making a mess.
M: Quiet Aiden, we’ve had quite enough of your fox.
M: We’re going to make a dessert. Do you want Chocolate Bread Pudding with Turtle Topping? A: Why would I want to eat turtle? M: It’s not really turtle. It’s chocolate and caramel and nuts. A: oh, I want that.
M: Are you being rude to your brother? L: No I amn’t. Aiden is.

My son is only 4 months old. Love reading about what I’ve gotten myself into!
Oh amn’t, I thought my daughter was the only one who said that!! I need to start writing stuff down for my own personal enjoyment. Oove this, tell them to keep up the silliness! !
I have been getting some gems from my 2 1/2 year old son lately and you posted something he said before.
This past weekend we were at a drive-thru and the lady at the window asked him who made his reindeer hat. He didn’t answer so I asked him again. Through gritted teeth he said, “I am trying to make a stinky (poop)”. I cracked up and the lady at the window asked me what he said, then she bent double laughing. I think we made her day!
I love these! I have 3 boys and 1 girl. So often I am overwhelmed and these have made me remember just how funny they are!
These are so sweet! The “cake isn’t candy” comment reminds me of a comment my now-26-yr-old daughter made when she was 3. “Mom, can I have a treat?” No you’ve already had a treat. “That wasn’t a treat, it was a snack!” It was hard to refuse after that logic, but I did finally have to explain that they are basically the same thing. Kids are wonderfully funny and I’m looking forward to what my almost-due grand will say. Thanks for your fun posts!
haha, love these! What a fun idea to create a series. The comment about food side and candy side in his tummy – so clever!! 🙂
Okay, I have to start writing down the funniness that comes from my boys’ mouths.
Recently I had asked my two and half year old twins who did that?
They simultaneously replies “Sissy.”
Their sister was in school.
