MOM OF BOYS: COMIC RELIEF FOR MOMS OF THE MALE VARIETY {ROUND 11}

By 3 Comments

A few months ago, I began jotting down things I hear around the house from my boys because, well, they make me laugh. In an attempt to give others a giggle, 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 and it’s so fun to look back on months past as they grow up. 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 1/2 year old  
L = my spunky, snack loving, 3 1/2 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.

M: Do you know how much I love you?
L: 17
M: Oh, 17, your favorite number?
L: Yeah!

M: What is your favorite animal?
L: Giraffe.
M: Oh, giraffe, why do you like giraffes so much?
L: Because a giraffe fan can cut cheese. (we have a little handheld giraffe fan)

L: (touches my leg) You should shave your pokie things off. What are they?
M: Hairs.
L: Why are they pokie?
M: Because they are short.
L: oh. Ow. Ow. They hurt. But, they don’t hurt when I have a glove on.

M: Are you going to help me with this little baby when he comes?
L: Ya, but when he goes to sleep he’s going to have to wear diapers. But, when he’s 17 he won’t wear diapers.

M: Something stinks. Can I seriously smell your feet from here?
L: No, I don’t smell a stink. I only stink on Friday.

A: Pretend you’re a baby tiger falling in to a volcano.
Two minutes later…
A: Want to be a bungee hanging zombie?

M: Did you have fun at the zoo?
L: Yes!
M: Well, we have a pass so we can go anytime we want.
L: Let’s go in gradvember!

M: How do you like that frosty?
L: Five
M: What?
L: Ten.

Mom of boys…things you never thought you’d hear in your home, then you birthed a boy.
A: I was hot guy and he was toad.
M: Hot Guy? Who is that?
A: The guy with the bow and arrow.
M: Oh, you mean hawk eye?
A:Hot guy?
M: No, hawk eye. Like a bird and his eye.

Read the whole post.

A: Did you see that sign with the guy with the huge ears?
M: No, I didn’t. What were they like Dumbo?
A: No, not that big, just big. They were…the ears were bigger than the eyes.
M: Well, my ears are bigger than my eyes.
A: No, way bigger than the eyes. The ears were way bigger than the head.
M: Do you want new floors?
L: Yes.
M: Do you want them to look like wood?
L: No, they will be Spiderman.
A: Probably a giant’s nostril would be as big as me.
L: (presses button on a huge safe at Dad’s office) What’s in there?
M: I don’t know. It must be something super special.
L: Maybe it’s a bunch of apples.
A month later…
A: I think I might know what’s in that big locked box at Dad’s office. A churro the size of it, like from the top to the bottom.

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.

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.

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.
