Ahhh. Soccer season. Fall weather (um… not in So Cal), cheering on your kids, enjoying the company of other parents (usually….) Unless you are Grant’s mom. If you are Grant’s mom, for every photo of him in the pack’o’players running after the ball…. (he’s #4) ….there is one like this. …or this…. (Who knew a […]
Well, I did suggest that you hurry up….
Scene 1: Getting ready for school… Mom: “Grant, get out of bed.” “Grant, eat your toast.” “Grant, please put down the Legos.” “Grant, please hurry or you won’t have time to play on the playground before school.” Scene 2: Walking Grant to school…. Mom: “Grant, you better hurry up or you won’t have time to […]
Spiderous Kindergartenous
Scene: Walking Grant to school this morning. I notice a huge spider. Mom: “Hey Grant! Look at that big spider up there in that web!” Grant: “Wow! He is big and is poisonous.” Mom: “No, he’s not poisonous. He’s a nice spider… just a big ole’ Garden Spider.” Grant: (after thinking a moment)…. “What’s he […]
The heart wants what the heart wants…
Scene: Our kitchen at lunch time. I have just offered Grant a sandwich…. Grant: “My heart is telling me to have ice cream.” Me: “After you have a sandwich, you may have a little ice cream.” Grant: “If I don’t have it, my heart will stop talking to me.” How do you respond to that?
Choking? You probably deserve it.
Scene: Sitting at the table a few weeks ago. Mitch begins coughing and choking. We Parents: “Mitch! Are you OK?!” Mitch: “Yes. I’m OK, I just swallowed wrong.” Grant (with a definite air of superiority): “pfft. Well, I swallow right.”
So this ghost goes to a waterpark….
Grant is my source for some good material. Sometimes I need my camera. Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I have him repeat what he said if I missed filming it the first time. Setting: Last night, finishing up dinner. Grant is talking about something we don’t understand. He says he wants to […]
Some pregnancy cravings prove to be rather funny.
Scene: the produce section in our grocery store. I am thrilled to see that “Red Lion” Nectarines are in season and on sale. Me: “Oh Grant! Yay! These are so yummy! When you were in my tummy, these nectarines were all that I wanted to eat.” Grant: “I was in your tummy…?” Me: (Oh crap! […]
Great. Now I need to brush up on my Pig-Latin.
Driving in the car last night, with Conner and Grant in the back seat…. Conner and I were having a discussion and I needed to say the word “sex” which I decided to spell, since I did not want Grant to hear the word. Big mistake. “What’s S – E – X?” Smooth move, Ex-Lax. […]
Entrepreneurial spirit.
Scene: Conner’s bedroom. Grant is holding a stack of Conner’s books and some old magazines. Grant: “Conner, do you want these books? Can I have some?” Conner: “I want these ones, but you can have the rest. What are you going to do with all of those.” Grant: “Why, sell them of course.” (The “duh” […]
The stars at night…
Handsome Hubby was on the computer visiting one of his favorite sites, Google Earth. HH: “Hey, did you know there is a Grant, California?” Me: “No.” Grant: “I wish there was a Grant, Texas….” (big sigh) What the?
