Chit Chat

Here are a few of the conversations that have happened around our house in the past few days. Enjoy!

Discussing the scrape on T's chin
Me: "What happened?"
T: "Mad E" (Maddie, my parent's dog)
Me: "What did she do?"
T: "PUSH"
Me: "What did Jackpaw say?"
This part changes depending on the mood. One answer is "No, no", but my favorite is: "Gummit!"

Yesterday we had an unfortunate incident involving my two boys and a metal hoe. This was the back of Z's head as a result:

(This picture was taken after much drama, lots of blood, several calls to the doctor, hiding under the bed to prevent an ER visit and, finally, some liquid band-aid.)
Here is T's account of what happened to brother:
Me: "What happened?"
T: "Owww!"
Me: "What did you do?"
T: "SHOBEL!" (shovel--his term for anything that works in the dirt)
Me: "T, you don't hit. That hurt your brother's head!"
T: "Sowwy." (with a huge smile on his face)

Z asks me this morning before going to KK's to swim:
"Why can't you just borrow one of KK's swimsuits?"
Me: "Well, we aren't exactly the same size."
Z: "Yeah, you are bigger than her."
Me: "She is very skinny. I want to be that skinny."
Z: "Mama..."
Me: "Yes?"
Z: "You're not."

And just in case that didn't put me back in my place...

While on my back in the pool:
Z: "Mama, what did you put in your hair?"
Me: "Just mousse, why?"
Z: "It really smells."
Me: "Do you like the way that it smells?"
Z: "NO! It stinks!"

Poor kid...a chubby mom with stinky hair!!
