A few months ago, I began jotting down things I hear from my boys because, well, they make me laugh. It’s now turned in to a Mom of Boys series on the 3rd Sunday of each month. It gives me a good reminder each month why I love my silly boys so much. If you missed our first Mom of Boys posts be sure to go back!
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.
L: Aiden, my rock collection is disappointed of you.
L: Mom, could you lift me up?
I lift him up and he gives me a kiss
L: Now, can you walk over by the fridge?
M: Why do you want to go over by the fridge?
L: Cause I won’t touch stuff on it.
A: Mom, when I die and go to live with God I am going to reason with him really long to find out how he made the planets.
M: You don’t make people laugh at the expense of naughty words.
A: Why are naughty words expensive?
M: Go play with Aiden. Do you want me to get a toy down for you? I have to work on my taxes.
L: No, I want to play tax, but you have to help me.
I am also happy to include my favorites from the comments on last month’s Mom of Boys post:
M Mommy to Four:
We did have to tell our four year old not to pee down a vacuum tube once. He’d been carrying it around and suddenly my husband saw him in the bathroom with the tube all lined up, ready to go. MAN, am I glad he caught him in time!
Haley Grossman:
When my son was almost 4 we were driving home from my mom’s house and he was freaking out about something…like screaming. I turned the radio way up and I heard him scream something about me being stupid. I turned it down and said “Jackson, did you just call me stupid?” My precious little almost 4 year old screamed back “No, I didn’t call you stupid. I said you are fat, stupid and a bad cook!”. I was shocked, and all I could do was laugh. Is that horrible? And BTW, I am none of those things…maybe that’s why I thought it was funny.
Last week, the same child had a substitute kindergarten teacher. I told him I had seen her and he said “No you didn’t…what did she look like?” I said “Well, she had brown hair and glasses.” He said “Okay, well was she old?” I said “Yeah, Kind of.” He said ” Okay, well did she have wrinkles?” I said “Yeah, she maybe had a few wrinkles.” He then said ” Okay, well did she have a huge butt?” To which I responded ” Well Jackson, I don’t know. I didn’t see her butt.” He assured me ” Yeah, she did.”
Honestly…this kid makes my day.

Have your kids made you laugh lately? What comical things have you said or overheard your kids say? Share in the comments and we will choose our favorites to share in our Mom of Boys post on April 20th.

You kids are so cute. The older boy seems to be so insightful, and the younger one just plain cute. I’m glad you liked the stories I shared about my little guy. My youngest, Jackson, is always the one who has me laughing, but this morning my oldest son cracked me up. He is pretty serious so I have been thinking about it a lot.
My 8yr. old son, James, asked for Fruity Pebbles. My husband was trying to talk him into something else because “those are pure sugar”. James said “no, they have way less sugar than Lucky Charms!” My husband and I agreed. Then, James said “Lucky Charms are pure sugar….like candy. Well….except for the wood parts.” That kid has apparently never had plain cereal before…because he thinks the “cereal” part of Lucky Charms is made of wood? WTH. Maybe I need to broaden his diet a little.
