from the mouths of crazy, lovely monkeys...

A age 6: "Mummy when I get my baseball mouth guard can I take it to show and tell?"

seriously folks the jock and the mouth guard are so far the highlight of baseball.


G age 3 11/12: " is Auntie Robyn allergic to underwear?"

my sister does happen to have a number of allergies and after any visit from Auntie the boys spend a couple of days trying to locate and categorize all her possible allergies, what fun!

G watching me fix up my finger nails after a few days of work asked what all the manicure tools are for after explanations he looks at his hands and says "Mummy look my testicles are high!"

Me:????
just to clarify he he meant cuticles.


G age 3 11/12: looking up at me from the bathtub while I collect all bedtime toiletries and says "Mummy your tummy looks fat!"

Me:!?"yes my tummy is a bit gurgley." (due to a cleans)

G: "No it looks like you have a baby in your tummy!"

Me:urgh! "no, no babies"
G: "Can you get another baby in your tummy?"

Me: (thinking this is an awfully awkward line of questioning) I respond with a (pinched) smile "but I already have you and your brother!"

G:"but why don't we have a sister? can you get us a sister in your tummy?"

then I ran screaming form the house...not really but it was close.


G age 3 11/12: from the back seat to Grampie "put your seat belt on!"
Grampie: "thank you for reminding me G."
G: "Ya! I'm watchin' ya!"

G age 3 11/12: watching the movie the tooth fairy sees The Rock (the wrestler now actor) run down a hallway away form a chasing cat clad in tights and wings "He runs just like me!"

G age 3 11/12: playing with lego "I'm going to build a baby sister with long hair!"
