this is where I chronicle the funny things my kids say.

My grandmother passed away recently at 93. After her funeral, the family gathered at her home for a meal. When we got home, I realized N(4) had nabbed a small toy from her house. “Buddy, you can’t take things from other people’s houses without asking.”
N: “Yeah, but she’s dead.”

N(4) walked through the room where my SIL was putting down my baby nephew. When he got to me, he asked loudly “Who is just spamming SHHHH in there?”

N(4) on the couch with tummy pain experienced sudden relief and said “Mom, the gas pain doesn’t hurt anymore! My engine burned it all!”

N(4): let’s turn the grass into dirt and turn the dirt into seeds and grow any kind of beautiful things that womens like!

N(4) asked me if I could order him some bricks, windows, and cement so he could build his own house in the backyard. Asked him where he learned to build a house, he said “Looney Toons. The piggie who built his house out of bricks was a smart piggie.”

N(4) hops in the car and announces “I’ll tell you if we’re going to crash. Actually, maybe you should tell me bc you’re the longest.”

Having older kids and younger kids at the same time is wild. It was a random Tuesday and my youngest learned to pump by himself on a swing and my oldest scheduled his first job interview and I’m so proud of both of them.

N(4) got new socks today. “Bro, these are tough!! Thank you, dude!!” He’s legit so very excited and I want to be that excited about new socks.

N(4) playing an imaginary game involving some serious bad guys: “You can hide but you can’t run!”

[Michelle Flage @chellemrf]

N(4) stepped up to the sink to wash his hands after using the bathroom and absentmindedly put toothpaste on his toothbrush instead. He realized his mistake, shrugged, and said “Guess I’m brushing my teeth now,” and just went with it. 😂

N(4): I’m going to invite Chris and Peter to my bday party. And John Cena.

[Michelle Flage @chellemrf]

N(4) calls a monitor a “phenomener” and I hope he never stops

D 8: is that beggar in the middle of the road?!
Me: he’s in the median
D: he is? he’s on Facebook?!

[Michelle Flage @chellemrf]

N(4): Mom! I can say the actual word now—PISGHETTI!

[Michelle Flage @chellemrf]

@garonnevik Oh yes, and some of the gas stations have an attached liquor section that is as big as the gas station. Welcome to WI!

N(4) is learning where food comes from. Whenever we eat meat, he asks “so, is this real dead <cow, chicken, pig>?” And then “who killed it?”

[Michelle Flage @chellemrf]

N:4 quoting Tom and Jerry first thing in the morning: “Money is such a beautiful word! You fat freeloader!” What a lovely sentiment to wake up to.

N (4) was bored at B’s Xmas concert and started counting down the songs to give himself hope for the end. When we got to the last song, he excitedly held up one finger to mark the impending release from his seat. The finger he chose was his middle finger, and he was not subtle.

N (4) has always loved the limelight. At B’s middle school Xmas concert, he begged us to please let him get up on stage and just “jingle somethin’”
