I love journaling; I’m sure that’s why I started blogging. I keep several journals. One for each kid, from the time I knew I was pregnant with each of them. (Sadly, much like their scrapbooks, the journal for the oldest is rather full, while the youngest just gets a sprinkling of an entry every now [...]

“Mommy, in the summer we can use those water guns again!” Luke spots the toys in the basement, where they hibernate through the long winter. In his five year old reality, summer seems another lifetime away. Outside, snowflakes are rapidly falling to the sidewalks. He’s home from another grueling week of Kindergarten, already changed out [...]
Crunch Contest

Okay, nothing major here, just a tip on getting your kids to eat veggies. We’ve started Crunch Contests with the kids when we serve raw carrot sticks. Sounds basic and maybe dull? I didn’t realize how much they would get into it! And, we make them eat everything else on their plates before they can [...]

So, I’m eating a chicken leg and my four year old starts looking at me curiously. Me: “What?” Luke: “Is that a chicken finger?” Me: “No.” Luke: “Is that a, um…………….one of those things that you get at the pizza place?” Me: “A chicken wing?” Luke: “Yes. “ Me: “No.” (Now I’m the one with [...]

Setting: Just before bedtime. Characters: Bald Man, and 3 year old Luke Luke: Dad, there was a toy and it’s up in the fan and I need you to make a wasso (lasso) so I can catch it and get it down. Bald Man: There’s a toy in your fan? Luke: Yeah. Bald Man: Did [...]
Conversation with the Kids

Jake: Mom, do you wear mascara? Me: ?? Umm…yeah. (How does he know what mascara is?) J: Well, mascara is clumpy. It makes clumps. Unless you use SpinLash. Then it doesn’t clump. And it lengthens and curls as it spins. M: Okay. Samantha: AND, if you order one, you get another one for FREE. J: [...]

If you happen to be at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, and your curious and sometimes naughty child happens to put his foot through the slats in the Wild Ohio Zoo, and his shoe happens to come off and land in the water next to the goose and the turtle and the duck? Yeah, they’ll [...]
The Gas Station

No, not that kind of gas station. Though, with boys, it’s easy to see how you’d be mistaken. It actually started when I was shaving my legs, a rare but still not non-existent occurrence (until winter, that is). Luke, the 3 year old, peeked in with a very baffled look on his face. “Mommy, what [...]
Just remember….
Posted in Kid Stories, tagged kids, lies, mom, mom blog, mommy blog, stories, truth on September 8, 2008 | 4 Comments »
…when you choose to lie to your kids (tell them a fib, deceive them, whatever) about the way something is or why a certain place is dangerous and that’s why they can’t go there, realize that they’re going to repeat this as truth to everyone they talk to. And there are those irritatingly legalistic kids [...]

In the van on the way to Kings Island: Jake (to the other kids): If you’re naked and you do something bad and the police catch you, they will give you a ticket and stick it to your pee-pee. Bald Man: No they won’t, Jake. Jake: Okay. I was just guessin’.
