The Kitchen Table

Honest kids and the things they say

15 years ago

So my two are at the breakfast table this morning and the older one says to his brother; "Hey Evan, if you were stranded on a deserted island, who would you want with you?" I piped up, in all my mom glory (and silliness), and said "His mother of course". To which my youngest stated "I love you mom, but I think I would rather be stranded with Indiana Jones."

What a little stinker face!!

We're constantly on Jacob(4) to be less rough with Tyler(18 months).

Last night, we hear both boys upstairs. I wander up there and find them both in Tyler's crib. I sit in the rocking chair and watch them laughing and playing. When DH walked in, Jacob said "I'm sorry Daddy. I'm sorry Mommy." Of course, we asked why. "I'm sorry for picking up Tyler by his head to pull him into the crib"

I read this on the internet the other day. A mom was having trouble potty training her soon to be 3 yo. son and they had made a quick stop at a Taco Bell for lunch when the mom detected an odor. She first checked her baby and it's diaper was fine so she asked the boy if he had had an accident and the boy said no. She continued to eat and kept smelling poop and asked him again if he had an accident and he again said no. She began to get angry as she did not have a change of clothes for him and asked again if he had an accident and the boy got up, pulled his pants down, pointed his butt at his mom, and said see, no poop, it's farts, it's just farts! Everyone in the place about fell off thier chairs laughing their heads off. Jamie

Verdict: pinched wire. Not from the convection fan motor replacement but right from the factory underneath a side panel. While they were in there they found 2 more that were pinched and "starting to go" that had to be replaced. They also have to order me 2 new support bracket / channel things because mine do not contain threaded screwholes for the levelling screws as they should. I am not going to editorialize these things. We all know what I paid for the range. We all know what the minumum expectations of quality should be for this range straight out of the factory. And we all know my ongoing experience over the past 15 months. One thing I will say is that this forum has made me so much more knowledgeabout about this range than those who come to service it. They attempt many excuses that are not true. Professional service people tend not to enjoy being corrected by customers or being told things they previously didn't know. I'm going to bake now (that I can).

Oo, I have a story, well, I got lots, but here's one about what kids say. My youngest was a late talker compared to his brother and sister. They chattered away at a very early age, but not him. Even when he did talk he'd never use 2 words when one would do. Sometimes I even started to worry a little, but he understood everything that anyone said to him, so I figured he'd talk when he felt he had something to say. I used to take him for a daily walk unless the weather was really bad. This was one of his great pleasures. Of course, as winter nears, you start digging out their little hats, warm coats and mittens. On this particular day I couldn't find his mitts. I was hunting under chairs, in the bottom of the closet, up on the shelf, while he kept hopping from one foot to the other and trying to open the door. I kept explaining we'd go in a minute, as soon as I got his mittens on. He turned to me and said his first sentence. "Me no need no mittens!" I knew he'd talk when he had something to say!

Michele is going to be beating them off with sticks- those kids are so gorgeous! I will admit, I came home from work tired, dirty and not smelling so hot after working in the sun transplanting roses today. My youngest boy had cleaned the kitchen, taken out the laundry (started his own), had a plate of leftovers warming up for me. Bless him- I think I might keep him for another couple weeks. Trish

Too cute!

When DS was about 4, I had just made some chocolates and they were on the counter. I caught DS with his face covered in chocolate. I gasped and asked "How many of those did you eat?!" He answered:

One... (long pause) at a time.

It IS scary that Jacob picks Tyler up by his head and neck. It's an impulse control thing. His head is right at Jacob's arm height. Like I said, we are working with him on this quite a bit. That's why he knew it was important to be honest about it :) He still got in trouble, and we've had no head incidents today.

When my youngest son was 4 or 5 yrs old, one day at the dinner table, he blurted out, "I know why there are two parents!" We exchanged glances and thought, "So soon. What do we say?" My son went on to explain, "Its because if I am hungry and one of you are busy, the other one can feed me."

That very logical statement gave us a sigh of relief, and at the same time, defined our station in the family unit. It deflated any grandiose thoughts that we might have entertained about being a minor Deity to him.

He's almost 30 years old now, but I still vividly
remember the embarrassment in church when at 3-4 years old stood on the pew just far enough away that I could not reach him...when I finally could get his attention asking him to "get down", he began to dance frantically, upon being asked, why he had acted like that, he replied, "but mommy, you told me to get down".....

"just far enough away that I could not reach him"

That made me laugh even harder than the "get down" part!

These are funny stories

When our son was about 4 we had a couple of gold fish. He came home from preschool one morning and I told him that Goldie had died and had gone to
Fishy Heaven. He said "Do you mean in the commmmmmooooode?"
