Kids Call it Like They See it....

While out back this morning:

Noah: "Mommy, why is our neighbors yard so weedy?"
Me: "I don't know babe, maybe she doesn't have a mower."
Noah: "We should get her one. Her yard looks really awful."

I mean really, ours is no prize either considering all the sod we laid last year died, but at least we don't have 3 foot weeds....

Who Has a Ticklish Penis and Doesn't Think Bad Behavior Should Be Rewarded?

Today, on the way home from a play date, we took the scenic route with hills as opposed to the highway. You know when you're driving downhill or on a roller coaster and you get that weird feeling/sensation in your abdomen? Or in Noah's case, his penis.....


Noah: "Mommy, these hills are tickling my penis!!!"
Me: "What?!?!"
Noah: "The hills. Or the car. I don't know but it's making my penis tickly and prickly."

I almost crashed into a tree I was laughing so hard. I had no idea how to respond.

Then, tonight after dinner, I gave him dessert - a small slice of vanilla pound cake...

Noah: "Mommy, I get a whole piece?!? Why? I wasn't that good of a listener today."
Me: "I think you were fine, when were you not a good listener?"
Noah: "At (*I's) house. You told me to clean up and I whined. That wasn't nice so I shouldn't really get cake. Next time, I should go on time out." (he states this with his mouth full, half the cake devoured....

Noah today with *I

 

 

 

*Not actual name, duh.

I Got Called Out on my Cleanliness OCD...

Yeah so it's been a while since we've posted new Noahethanisms. Trust me, it's not because he hasn't been Mr. Sassy pants, rather we've been too lazy.


Today, Noah gave me a very matter-of-fact parenting lesson...

Mommy: "Noah, did you feed Count Dooku today?" (The beta fish whose name changes every week)
Noah: "Hmm, I don't think so. I thought you did."
Mommy: "I didn't. So feed him please. And don't make a mess."
Noah: "Mommy, sometimes kids make messes. And it's OK because accidents happen. OK?"
