Random bits from the past few weeks

As we were walking out of school, Madison smiles as she is looking at me and asks, "Mommy? Are you an old woman now because I see all your wrinkles?" Anthony interjects, "You're not an old woman yet because I'm not a man... You are still just a mom!" Who do you think topped the most favorite kid list today?

Anthony had to draw some letter "U" words for homework. I was checking his paper and asked what his pictures were... "UPS, an arrow up, and mom these are the funniest: UNDERPANTS and UNDERWEAR!" He was quite amused, boys! Nothing like underwear to make a house erupt into giggles and lots of potty jokes!

Reason 6,981: why since becoming a mother I am ALWAYS late:

***

"Mom, when i grow up I'm gonna be a train driver. Will you promise to stand at the crossings every morning and wave when I pass by? You will know its me because I always have chapped lips! BUT when I retire I'm gonna be a nascar driver too so you have to come to all my races!"

***

Someone wanted "curls like a princess". So after bath, I wrapped her hair in mini buns and sent little miss off to bed... As I was removing the buns in the morning , I had flashbacks of begging my mother to put curlers in my hair and screaming in horror in the morning as I quickly stuck my head under the sink faucet to get rid of the curls! I cringed for the scene I feared would was inevitable...

"MOMMY I LOVE IT!!!!" She felt quite "fancy" and just like a "princess!"

***

Each day Anthony's principal does a woo-hoo during morning announcements and the other day my friends little girl said she heard Anthony's name on announcements. In true Anthony fashion he will not tell us why or for what because he "forgets"... He forgets every aspect of the school day... I think he must be struck with some crazy microwave waves as we exit the building each day!  One morning, I asked if the principal said woo-hoo when she was saying his name during announcements... He gets all mad and growls "what are you? CRAZY?! My school is not in Texas you know! Geeze mom!" and stormed off... Alrighty then...

Reason 426 I need to be a better pocket checker when doing laundry:

Silly Putty + Brand New Shirt = MAJOR FAIL

Like me, Anthony is CRAZY random... "Mom you should get 5 hour energy drinks, then you will have the groceries done super fast! Maybe I will have 5 hour energy drinks for getting all my school work done super fast!" This from the boy who bounces 24/7... I do believe 5 hour energy would get him expelled from school...
