I was going to do a little vacation photo retrospective tonight.
But after the drive home, I’m really tired.
And then tonight the kids were eating those drumstick ice cream cones — the ones with the peanuts on top –after dinner, and Number 4 was being, well, Number 4,
and she was fooling around with her ice cream,
and Number 5 said
“WILL YOU STOP IT?
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE TWIRLING A PENIS AROUND IN YOUR MOUTH!”
And, well, I’m still trying to recover from that.
So I’m just gonna go to bed instead.

You can post whatever you like. But just a bit over the top for me. Please unsubscribe me

Are you kidding me?? Over the top! That’s parenting, sweetheart! Better get used to it if you have kids. They will say shit like this and you better hope they choose to say it at home and not when you’re at your family reunion, or shopping at Target.

The penis through me off and then after a while it made me smile because it was so unexpected. Kids say the craziest things and you just have to go with it and learn and move on

lol, Kids say the most unexpected things sometimes. When my (Now 18 year old) daughter was 2, she went up to random men in the grocery store, asking them, “Are you my dad?” (her dad was at home)
When she was 4, we went to my older daughter’s 6th grade orientation, and after staring at her male teacher for a few minutes, asked loudly, “Why is he so fat? Is he going to have a baby?” My older daughter was mortified, and vowed to hate her sister forever after that. Today, they are 26 and 18, and the best of friends, although the oldest often refers to the youngest as “Demon.”

My autistic 5 year old (very vocal -not the silent end of the spectrum, and not severe) will walk up to people in stores, examine their skin color, then scream their skin color at them in the form of a question. “DO YOU HAVE A BROWN FACE??!!” Some people look at me like, “what the fuck?”. Some will sort of smile nervously, and wander away from her, and some get it, and will interact with her. Charming!

one time, when my two were really little, they were in the bath together (one boy, one elder girl). my little girl looked at her brother with wide, scientific eyes and finally asked, “WHAT is THAT?” i replied, matter of factly, “that is his penis.” she considered this for a longer than usual while, looked down at her younger brother a few more times, and then she stated (with total authority), “mommy, someday, i will have a penis.” i couldn’t stop laughing–not just because of her comment, but because i kept thinking, “daddy, i want an oompah loompah. i want an oompah loompah NOW!”
susie, fun to reconnect with you through your blog! i remember you from your 4th grade teaching days…be well!
