Kendall has been big on knock,knock jokes the past few weeks. She has picked it up a notch as of last night.....she asked Ben, "why did the monster cross the road?" (After translating for him.....) Ben said "I don't know why?"
Kendall said, "To get to the playground silly!"
She laughed for a good long time about this and so did we! I can't believe that she is growing up enough to be telling jokes!
I sometimes will put the gate up to the stairs & a get a shower with both kids awake when I am in a pinch....our upstairs is pretty baby proofed and mostly they stay in the bathroom tormenting me anyway. Well I slept through the alarm this week, I needed to get a shower so I got them a snack put up the gate & started getting ready. When I was done with my shower, I could hear Kendall calling for me. I found the kids in Isaac's room....locked in because they shut the gate to his room. I asked Kendall what had happened....
she said, "Well here's the problem mommy. Isaac shut the door & I no heavy enough to open it like you."
me: "So you think mommy is heavy huh?!"
Kendall: "Mom you so silly....you just have a bigger butt!"
I almost left them in there.....
Kendall always comes up with some doozies but even I was amazed at this one. We were doing her nighttime routine. It had been a fairly normal night until she practically screamed "Wait mom, hold your prayers." (We were doing our evening prayers at this point.) So I said, "Bug what is wrong?" Kendall looked at me like I had 3 heads and said, "I have to scratch my bum."
Well I am glad that we at least stopped prayers because we can't have butt scratching going on while prayers are being said!

Now Kendall has had some wing dingers the past 2 weeks so hold onto your seats!
#1- We are on the road on the way home to NC from PA. I am sleepy but don't do well with caffeine due to some health conditions. (I have it about 2-3 times per month if that tells you how unused to it my body is....) I have a Mt. Dew from my parents house in the morning and then got a gas station cappuccino at one of our stops midday. I was starting to feel some GI distress but we had already had 3 30 minutes stops so I was thankful when Kendall had to stop to pee. I let her go to the bathroom then it was my turn. (This is one of those lock the door no stall kind of bathrooms so there were people waiting outside.) Kendall has a loud booming voice like her daddy so believe me when she said "You go poopy on the potty mommy like a big girl! GOOD JOB! You get a treat when we get home." all of the people waiting heard her as well!
#2-We have been working on manners with Kendall for about the last 2 years. She is pretty good a lot of the time but needs some gentle help some days. I had really had it the other day when she came to me for the 40th time & said "I want juice." So I told her, "I want a million dollars but you don't see me getting it by asking impolitely." She held out her hand and said "Here's your million dollars mom now can I have my juice?"
We went to my grandparents anniversary celebration this past Sunday & Kendall had a ball. But unfortunately even while you are having a great time there still needs to be potty breaks. My daughter is rarely shy so when we went to the restroom & she started talking to the lady in the stall next to us it was really no surprise. What did shock & embarrass me was when she crawled under the stall in with her. (Turns out this was the wife of my grandparents old pastor) When I finally got her to come back over with me, I explained that we don't crawl in with people because going to the potty is a private thing. Kendall patiently informed me, "Moooooooom she said hi to me & wanted to see me." I told her that she needed to wait until we washed our hands to see her to which Kendall said, "Mom you're so silly." Hope your children are doing something fun to embarrass you today too!
Marianne over at
http://familyamericanstyle.blogspot.com/ came up with the What would your children say? Wednesday and I thought it was a great idea as I am always telling stories on what has come out of Kendall's mouth! So go on over to her blog and check it out!
The most recent comes from yesterday when Kendall had gone #2 on the potty & got her treat. (We are only rewarding for #2 now so it is a big deal!!) It (the treat) happened to be laffy taffy. I was sitting there feeding Isaac lunch when Kendall comes out to pull on my shirt. I asked her what she needed but wasn't really looking at her. She said, "Mom look at my face." (A phrase that I unfortunately hear quite a few times a day now...) I looked at her & she smiled. To my dismay she stated, "Look mom my teeth like yours!" She had stuck the laffytaffy to her teeth to try and make them look like braces. I almost peed my pants laughing! Hope you enjoy it too!
(Thanks for hopping by Marianne! I enjoyed reading your blog & the What would your child say?)
