About a year 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. And now I have one more boy to add to the mix, though he won’t be saying much at first so you won’t see him show up here for a while. If you missed our first Mom of Boys posts be sure to go back!

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.

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

M: That man is shaving his head while he drives. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.
A: Not weirder than a pirate turning into a monkey singing a little silly song.

L: Why are we going this way?
M: Because we need to take some money to the boy who mows the lawn so we’re driving through the neighborhood.
L: A hood is a hat.
M: You’re right.

L: Aiden, my undies are cooler than yours.
A: No, mine are dragon.
L: Well dragons are a bit cool.
A: Well daddy likes dragons and he doesn’t like lightning McQueen that much.

A: How come the only place nectarines are having a party is in my stomach?

A few months ago, I started jotting down things I hear around the house from my boys because, well, they make me laugh. In an attempt to give others a chuckle, it’s now turned in to a Mom of Boys series on the 3rd Sunday of each month.

Mom of boys…things you never thought you’d hear in your home, then you birthed a boy.

A: Mom for my birthday I want to go to the moon.
L: For my birthday I want to go to a waterpark.

L: Let’s take one of those popcorn seeds and plant it outside and it will grow a popcorn tree.

A: Dude, did you see I threw your head in to the ground?
C (A’s best friend): Yes, thank you!

L: We can’t ever punch people. Or kick them in to lava. Or kick them in to acid that would sink them.

A: Mom we should get one of those electricity cars so we never have to get gas.
M: Ya, but you still have to plug it in.
L: Mom, let’s get a candy car so we can just pull candies off it any time we want.
A: We should have a candy world where trees are candy, houses are cupcakes, buildings are cakes and the earth would be a gumball.

L: Yeah but if we lived at Santa’s house and we want a cookie we have to ask.

A: I tooted and now I smell cheese cracker.

(On our way to a wedding reception)
A: Mom, if someone gives her the present can I give it to her?
M: No one gives her the present, we put it on the table.
A: Oh, and then do we give her all the presents at the end like a birthday party?

Our favorite comment from last month comes from Susan, she says:

My 3 year old will steal your drink (any drink) so we are trying to teach him to ask first. While eyeing his dad’s glass of milk,  dad grabs it and drinks. P very loudly exclaims, “Daaaad, ask first.” I nearly choked laughing so hard. Well at least he is getting the concept.
