Thanks to our youngest child (MRA, aka Mr. Man) - we laugh a lot. Not that our other kids didn't sometimes say funny things..but this one - he's just a total ham.
Thanks to overhearing MRA and his playmates we've discovered that the ultimate threat between Kindergarten-ish aged kids is: "If you don't X...I'm not gonna invite you to my birthday party!!"
However, Mr. Man (coming up on age 5 very soon) has figured out that line doesn't work on mom & dad, because as we've pointed out to him - we're the ones throwing the party, so we'll be there, like it or not.
So.. his new threat (wait for it):
"If you don't let me do X (where x = play Wii past his bedtime, hit his sister, sleep in our bed instead of his) ..then you can't wipe my butt!!"
Yep - he seems to be under the mistaken impression that we WANT to wipe his poopy butt and that we're somehow broken up over not getting that task when he yells for one of us from the bathroom. Ha!
Two More funnies from MRA lately:
1. He was playing with Matchbox cars in the kitchen when one rolled a bit too far and ended up waaaaay under the gas range.
I said: "Oh no..sorry honey, but it looks like that one is gone for good."
Mr. Man said: "Nope.. it's gone for EEE-VIL!"
2. He's a HUGE SpongeBob fan and was looking through the garage for a bucket to wear over his head (in the SpongeBob movie Plankton controls the whole town by putting Chum Buckets on their head that control their minds).
After talking him out of that he marched around the house with a fly-swatter in hand chanting: "On Hail Mommy!" (Plankton's minions chanted: "All Hail Plankton")
I tried several times to explain it's "All Hail" not "On Hail"...but gave up when he said: "All Hail..No" (you might have to say this out loud to see why this cracked me up)..and I couldn't stop laughing.
