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 full on 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!
Let’s explain how this will work and who things were said by…
A = my skinny, karate obsessed, 6 year old
L = my spunky, snack loving, 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: How strong is a baby? Not very strong.
D: A Little strong, they can squeeze your finger.
A: As strong as an ant alone.
A: As strong as an ant alone.
L: Remember that vacuum in the hall in Hawaii? (He’s never been to Hawaii)
L: Mom you are like Perry the Platypus.
M: Oh really, why? Cause I save the day?
L: Ya.
L: I have lots of ideas.
M: Oh really, tell me one of your ideas.
L: They have lots of candies and lots of pizzas. But, one of the pizzas is grody so here is the garbage can (motions). Throw.

M: What do you want for a night night snack?
L: I want a nothing.
M: Ok, here’s your nothing. (holds out an empty hand)
L: (grabs nothing and pretends to eat it) Thank you, num num num.
A: I wish I were left handed. I like the word left more than right.
M: Oh, why?
A: Actually, I’m glad I’m right handed. I like the word right better.
M: I’m glad I have funny kids.
A: I’m the funniest don’t forget.
L: I’m the funniest.
A: No, you’re the cutest. I’m the funniest.
L: Aiden got my sweatshirt! (That had fallen behind the dresser)
M: Yep! I’m an Orangutan I used my feet as hands.
L: Good Morning Mom! Let’s make breakwast. Let’s make awfuls.
M: Ok. Do you want butter and syrup?
L: No.
M: Do you just want syrup?
L: No, just syrup in the little holes on top not on the bottom.
L: If there was a waffle guy, I could be the waffle guy. If we had a waffle dress up I could wear it because I know how to put on dress ups, but not scary dress ups. Only kind of scary dress ups. But, not little milk dress ups.
M: Do you want another waffle?
L: No I want a smoothie and then another waffle.
M: Hey, where are you going with those spoons?
L: Aiden wants to try sticking a spoon to his nose.
M: Where did you learn that?
L: In school, when I was sixteen.
A: I want a piggy back ride.
L: I want a piggy back ride too.
A: I’ll get on dad, then you get on me.
A climbs on dad, then L climbs on A.
L: This is going to happen. Steady now.
I am also happy to include my favorites from the comments on last month’s Mom of Boys post:
From Haley Grossman:
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.

Have your kids made you laugh lately? What comical or off the wall 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 May 18th.
