Grant wanted a corn-dog for lunch. Doesn’t sound too good to me, but OK. Nuked the corn-dog, poured the milk, squirted the ketchup, got the napkin, called the child, busied myself in the kitchen. After a few moments I heard clapping. It was Grant, applauding himself for eating all of the “corn” but leaving the […]
Sometimes you need a penis to fully appreciate the situation.
After a rare, delicious dinner out at Taco Surf (the out is rare, not the delicious); the family was piled in the car coming home. A few blocks from the restaurant, a chorus of “eeeeewwwww” came from the back seats. Melodramatic coughing sounds and cries to roll down the windows. Boys…. That means farts are […]
Ah ha!! Gottcha!
Oh look… it’s Not Me.
Really? Why?
Grant: a) disapproves of the current furniture arrangement. b) is really cold and opted for couch cushions instead of a blanket. c) can’t leave a tidy room, well… tidy. d) There is no rhyme or reason to the things Grant does. You know the answer.
Favorite Exchange of the Day (but it’s still early.)
I just made Grant his breakfast of choice: wheat toast with grape jelly and a glass of milk. (And a napkin! You forgot my napkin, Mom!) As I placed these things in front of him, he smiled at me and said, “Thanks, Mom! I’m happy of ya and proud of ya!” Loosely translated, I think […]
My favorite exchange of the day. (So far.)
Grant: “Rocky (the cat) keeps running away from me.” Mom: “Stop chasing him with the ukulele.” Grant: “But he likes music.”
This too shall pass.
Grant is on an invisibility kick. It’s getting really old, really fast. In the kitchen:Grant: “Mom, can I have a cookie please?”Mom: “Not until after lunch.”Grant: “I ate an invisible lunch, but I want a real cookie.” At baseball practice:Coach: “Grant, pay attention! It’s your turn up at bat.”Grant: “I’m going to use my invisible […]
A spider by any other name is still just as creepy.
Rich is the Great Spider Killer in our house. He is my hero. Grant has the same aversion to spiders that I have, but Rich has tried to teach him that Daddy-Long-Legs spiders aren’t bad, and can actually be a bit helpful. So, if there is a Daddy-Long-Legs around, Rich tries to put it outside, […]
Some other kid’s cute thing…
At Grant’s baseball game yesterday, one of the little kids on the other team was playing 2nd base. As one of our guys hit the ball toward him, he bent over to field it. He let the ball go by him because he spied something else on the ground and he picked that up instead. […]
I think I need a lollipop too.
Grant just got 4 immunization shots, plus a shot for a TB test in order to register for kindergarten. I tried to tell him that, yes, it will hurt a little, but they will help to keep him safe and healthy, yadda, yadda, yadda. He was OK with that story, but then I had to […]
