I just had the best date ever! My youngest and I went out for dinner and it was awesome. Thankfully he is still at the age where it is still cool to be seen with your mom in public. My oldest is at that age where it isn’t really all that cool anymore and is always out with his friends. My youngest and I had a lot of laughs and the conversation was hilarious. My son is a natural born comic and has a great sarcastic and quipping nature. I will share some of this now.
Kid2: All I have to do is look at my friends and they laugh.
Me: Because you have a natural goofy personality.
Kid2: Funny is all I’ve got. I’m like Chandler.
Me: Because you have a natural goofy personality.
Kid2: Funny is all I’ve got. I’m like Chandler.
Kid2: If you were in mind for one second, you would come out with a O.o face.
Me: If you went in my mind, you would do the same thing.
Kid2: Yes I would because the only thing in your mind is love love love.
Me: *blank stare*
Kid2: Is there anything else in there besides dirty thoughts?
Me: *jaw drop*
Me: If you went in my mind, you would do the same thing.
Kid2: Yes I would because the only thing in your mind is love love love.
Me: *blank stare*
Kid2: Is there anything else in there besides dirty thoughts?
Me: *jaw drop*
Me: I wish I had a pen to write these conversations down.
Kid2: I need to stop giving you ideas for your blog.
Kid2: I need to stop giving you ideas for your blog.
Kid: You wouldn’t make it one day in my life.
Me: I know because I cannot make weird noises. (Back story here. The other day we had this conversation: Kid2: Do you know what is great about guys? Me: What love? Kid2: From the time they are young they practice making weird noises so that they are great at making them.)
Kid: Yes you can. All you have to do is open your mouth and talk.
Me: Brat.
Me: I know because I cannot make weird noises. (Back story here. The other day we had this conversation: Kid2: Do you know what is great about guys? Me: What love? Kid2: From the time they are young they practice making weird noises so that they are great at making them.)
Kid: Yes you can. All you have to do is open your mouth and talk.
Me: Brat.
Then as we were walking home:
Kid2: I have a talent for making long lists. Example:
Hi person who made me.
Who likes the colours blue and black.
Who is wearing a black skirt.
And likes having strapless purses.
Who has long hair.
And wears glasses.
And has arthritis.
And has 3 moles on her neck.
And has some moles on her back.
And has a mole on her cheek.
And who is incredibly smart.
And doesn’t need a calculator.
And makes unnatural girl farting noises.
There was a lot of other really funny moments, but these are the ones that stand out the most.
I have wonderful children. I love them to bits and pieces. Every day they give me a dose of humour. But better than loving my children, I really like my children. It is easy to love your children. It is another thing all together to like them.
