Favorite lines of the week:
While babysitting for someone else's child.... (I know...WHY?!)
As I was tucking in my friend's little 4 1/2 year old girl for the night:
Do you toot, too? - she asked me.
EXCUSE me? - I said.
She smiled. Then... Do you toot, too? - she asked me AGAIN.
Of course I toot. Everyone toots. It is perfectly normal.
So and so doesn't toot. They say they don't like to toot.
Well, EVERYONE toots. Everyone. Some families get embarrassed talking about it, but it is a perfectly normal thing that happens with your body. There's nothing wrong with it.
I can't keep it in. I can't help it. It just comes out. - she says with some concern.
Well, that's GOOD. You're stomach would hurt if it was stuck in there. Goodnight. Sleep tight. - Me, desperate to end this dialogue on farting. Most especially with someone else's child...
***********
BOY during the blessing slips in something like "and thank you for my trespasses."
Thank you for that blessing, BOY. Did you say trespasses?
My trespasses are delicate.
And so they are....
***********
Look, Mommy, my baby has beautiful brown eyes like you. - that's my GIRL.
I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BED!!! I'M NOT TIRED!!! I WANT TO LOSE MY PRIVILEGES!!
AND...that is my GIRL.
I better get to bed before I lose my privileges. Let's hope there are no toots.

Too funny!
ReplyDeleteMy younger daughter thinks toots are just a riot--she loves to toot when I am reading her a story and then she just laughs and laughs lol!
delicate trespasses...hmmmmm not sure what to say on that and who wouldn't want to lose their privileges to stay up late ;)
I'm just laughing. I would love to hear the conversation if all four of our kids got together.

ReplyDelete:P
That is very cute and funny. My favorite was thank you for my trespasses. I think if we all were thankful for those it would be a much funnier world.
ReplyDeleteAdorable conversations - how cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good weekend - see you soon - Kellan
Good job on the "your tummy would hurt..." - very smart of you!
ReplyDeleteyeah TELL me about it!
ReplyDeleteOh, that GIRL is going to give you a run for your money!
ReplyDeleteI've blogrolled you!
ReplyDeleteI would just like to assert that I do NOT toot and you cannot prove otherwise...:-)
ReplyDeleteah, the tooting. good stuff.
ReplyDeletemy favoroite is "I want to lose my privileges!" so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI like to think all my trespasses are delicate. Can I borrow your kids for a couple of days? I need some good writing material.
ReplyDeleteIs there already a children's picture book by the title "Everyone Toots"? If not, I suggest you immediately begin writing....I see a picture book in your future.
ReplyDeleteBTW, this week I'm giving away a subscription to Budget Travel magazine as a further inspiration to The Grand Tour theme! Stop by and tell me where you want to go on your dream holiday.
I believe there is an "Everybody Farts" book, and also "Everybody Poops". In our family, we "foof"
ReplyDeleteor when they are babies and there is a long stream...we refer to it as "pootering" (my Pediatrician got a kick out of that one).
My eldest daughter has been practicing burping the alphabet... now there's a talent that will take you places!!!
Blessings dear, EJT
PS, What tresspasses are delicate?
Oh my goodness, way too funny! I love that you are writing this stuff down, so precious to forget.
ReplyDeleteThese are so funny. "My trespasses are delicate" might be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love your kids so much!!! They are such entertainers, you are one lucky mommy!
ReplyDelete"Toots" always makes me giggle. The word, not the action.
ReplyDelete"My tresspasses are delicate"?! WHAT?! Where did that come from?
ReplyDeleteAnd, sometimes, losing privileges is totally worth it.
i've heard that people toot on average 14 times a day
ReplyDeleteAnd I can see the bubbles when Mr. Farklepants is sitting on the couch. That just doesn't seem right.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you talked to that little girl about toots. Sounds like hers are being stifled.
I can just hear my daughter saying the same to me. She's gonna be stubborn just like her momma!
ReplyDeleteThere are more toots in my house than I know what to do with. Such is life with 3 boys....
