The Musings of the Crazies
- Matt walks into the kitchen the other day holding a dismantled train. He proceeds to walk right up to us and say, "I'm having issues with this train here." What 2.5 year old uses the word "issues" in a sentence? Correctly?!?
- Hailey's toothbrush has Barbie on the end...she insists on calling her "Garbie" which reminds me of the word "garbage" which makes my inner feminist stand up and applaud.
- One of the favorite games around here is "Tackle." Hailey stands in the living room shouting, "Matt! Get me!! Get me!!!" Matt comes zooming into the living room, viciously grabs Hailey around the waist, throws her down on the floor, and holds her skull against the ground. The whole time, she is laughing hysterically. These Crazies are nuts...I tell ya.
- The Crazies were sitting down for breakfast the other day and I was dancing...we have a daily dance party around this house. Anyway, I was really getting into it and Matt was laughing. All of the sudden, he says, "Mom, you crack me up so much!" It was great.
- When we're driving, and I happen to honk the horn at some idiot, the Crazies are highly inquisitive..."what happened, Mom?" "Why'd that person come into our lane?" "Why did he not use his signal?" "He should NOT be on the phone, right, Mom?" "Why you beep?" "Beep again, Mom!" "That slow guy is driving me CRAZY!" "Come on, Dude...just make the turn." Yes, it's amazing what they listen to...YIKES!
- For some reason, Matt has found it hysterical to grab Husbands "unit" when we're getting ready for bed. Don't get me wrong...the first couple of times, it WAS hysterical...until I realized that he could be doing this at school! Or Kids' Zone! Or anywhere else in the world and that's just WRONG!!! He's pretty cheeky by saying, "I just teasing...Daddy, I just teasing." Then I had to nip it in the bud...it's not funny. It's not something we tease about. If you do it again, you're in big trouble (which means nothing b/c "big trouble" is just a made up phrase I have for behaviors that have no set consequence...just have to make it sound scary).
- I was at tutoring the other night and Husband had a rough night...Hailey actually said, "I want Mommy..." That's right...they love me!

Yay they love you! I think it's funny that you call it unit. I love the way they talk and how they pick up on phrases. I need to be careful with what I say when they visit!
love the conversations - and that Hailey is a crazy indeed.
She doesn't get sore????
Backseat drivers already?
My 3 year old is a backseat driver already! She thinks she controls the radio, and she yells from the backseat, "GO FASTER Mama!" "Gah, mooooooove car!" "Ugh, they're brats!" Love it.
I'm so happy to hear someone else has a "BIG TROUBLE" too...
Your driving thing had me guffawing. In the car the other day Lil Duck screeches at me "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Youre not driving right! You HAVE to steer! MOM! STEER! TWO HANDS! TWO HANDS! BOTH HANDS MOM!" and then she DICTATED EXACTLY where she thought my hands needed to be on the wheel. Seems she was NOT okay with the fact that I had picked up my cell phone to answer a call. I was only hitting the speaker phone button on it *laughing* She keeps me in check. Of course I immediately put my hands at 10 and 2 and she wasn't happy until I hand them nestled at the bottom of the wheel nearly in my lap LMAO
Yes, Todd (my DH) has realized the hard way he needs to keep his road rage (my definition) in check when my 2 are in the car. Miss Molly has repeated a few words out of her daddy's mouth! Of course it is funny to me, but no one else wouldn't appreciate it.
Love when they ask for mommy!
I love the car conversation! ha! Gee...wonder where they heard all that before!? LOL!
"Issues?" ha! I tell my kids they're "special" all the time...and lets just say that's more of a reference to my work than anything else...ha!
Last year, while on vacation at a water park, Jacob was in the locker room shower with Paul and commented "Daddy, you have a big pee pee! You have a REALLY big pee pee!" Paul insists he was embarrassed and glad that no one else was around but I'm certain he tried to get the kid to say it again, closer to the door so other people could hear him say it.
