Health Conscious

Mady: "Water is healthy for you. I like to drink water. I am healthy. You don't drink a lot of water Mommy, so you aren't healthy."

Optimism

Mady: "Skunks are good, they just fart on you really bad."

dinner funnies

So tonight for dinner we had tacos. I love Mexican food and my goal in life has been to raise children who love it as much as I do. I must brag on myself, I have succeeded!!!

I made refried beans to go with the tacos, but I only used one can instead of two. The following conversation took place:

Me: (to husband) "I'm sorry, I didn't make very many beans tonight, I only had one can."

Hubby: "I probably won't eat very many anyway. I'm tired of farting."

(we think farts are funny around here...)

Mady: "I'm not tired of farting. I've only farted once today."


My other goal in life is to make sure that my children will like their Mexican food spicy. (I mean...it's really not any good if it's not...am I right?) I'll brag again, I have succeeded!!!

Mady had already eaten two tacos, both had hot sauce on them. She was going for a record three tacos. As my husband was helping Mady put number three together she said,

"I don't want sauce on this one, it burned my breath."

Smarty pants

Me: "Mady, you are so smart."

Mady: "Thank you."

Me: "It must be because you have smart Daddy."

Mady: "I think you mean I have a smart BRAIN."

'motes

My little Zac loves remotes. Maybe it's a man thing?

I don't know, but he likes to carry them around, give them to people, push random buttons. He sure thinks they are a lot of fun. We have several remotes around this house...5 that I can see from my chair as I type this, not to mention the cordless phone that looks an awful lot like a remote.
We have two cable box remotes for our two cable boxes...I can see them both right now which means one of them is not where it is supposed to be. We have two DVD players, each has it's own remote...again, I can see them both right now which means one is not in it's rightful place. We also have a VCR remote which is sitting decoratively on the mantle. (I'm still not sure why my husband thinks that is a good place for remotes, I guess to keep them out of small hands...)
Back to my story... Most remotes are about the same size but the remote that goes to the DVD player in Zac's room is very small, about half the length of regular remotes (yes, I am getting somewhere...the size is very important I assure you...)
Zac decided to play the "remote game" with my husband last night. His idea of fun is to throw them directly at your gut as hard as he can, or if you're not so lucky, your head (and he has quite an arm for a nearly 2 year old). He throws the first remote at him (in case you're wondering it was a cable box remote) and says loudly, " 'mote!". He then picks up the small DVD remote and throws it as well. He says, "baby 'mote!".

What?

Mady: "I'm so sleepy I could eat a whole...fabrican!"

Me: "What's a fabrican?"

Mady: "I don't know, but that would be weird."

Ouch!

Firstly, It has been months since I'm posted anything. I could say I've been busy, but really, I've just been unmotivated.

Here's a good story about Mady. She is very honest and hearing her say these things is infinitely more funny than just reading about them.

Several months ago, there was a fire in an empty apartment complex. It was still being built, had no residents...it was one of those news stories that instead of reporting on for a normal amount of time, they reported on it for HOURS...interrupting important TV shows.
After they had reported on this fire for a very very long time, they decided to report about two children who had been standing outside watching the fire with their parent(s). Apparently the kids had walked all willy-nilly into the street and had gotten hit by a Suburban. (No worries, they are okay) Mady was sitting on the couch coloring and heard the news anchor telling about the children. As soon as she heard, "were hit by an oncoming Suburban" she says, "Oh, I bet that hurt."

My husband and I couldn't stop laughing! I talked to her about it after a few minutes and she said to me, "Well, I bet it did hurt...but that's okay, some people just have to get hit sometimes right Mommy." I guess so.
