A Bug’s Life

August 5, 2009 · 22 comments

If you were a fly on the wall in my house, you’d live a pretty decent life.

There’d be plenty of crumbs to nibble on.

You’d have multiple opportunities to escape.  Considering my children leave the doors standing wide open many times throughout the day.

And the chances of you getting swatted would be slim to none.  Since splattered flies seriously gross me out.

The best part though?  You’d be entertained.

You’d overhear conversations like this one, that took place moments ago:

Jayce: I haf ew go poddy.
Me: You do?
Jayce: Yes.  I haf ew go poddy.  A’cause my menis (he can make the “P” sound only selectively) is gettin’ on my nuhrve.

See.  At least you’d laugh.  Assuming flies have a sense of humor that is.

We always comment on how we want to be flies in our kids’ classrooms. I would love to see and hear what goes in during their day.

Ah, potty training with boys is so much , isn’t it?

Yesterday we blew up the kiddie pool in our backyard and when it was time to come inside my little guy said, “Wait mommy I have to go potty.” And he just whipped it out right there on the grass for all the neighbor’s delight. I wonder who taught him that?

Oh my gosh I am laughing so hard right now!!! The JOY of BOYS. I suspect if I had a menis, it would give on my nerve too.

Cute! I had a similarly amusing conversation today about what my daughter does with her boogers. Let’s just say that I was happier NOT knowing…

Life with Boys! I can’t even imagine it.

I think a menis would get on my nuhrve also, unless I was going poddy in a public place. In which case it’d be pretty darn handy.
