1) I've been hearing a new word coming out of Miss Innocent One's mouth lately--"suckish." As in, "That's kind of suckish" or "My day was suckish" or "This homework is suckish."
It makes me think of Sylvester the cat saying, "Sufferin' succotash!"
I know. That makes me old. Sigh.

2) Drama Queen carried a box of vanilla wafers.
Ladies Man: Hey, I'll have some of those.
Drama Queen: No, this is my dessert.
Ladies Man: It's my dessert too.
Drama Queen: Get your own dessert.
Ladies Man: Quit being a . . .
He catches my eye.
Ladies Man: . . .good sister. Give me some. Please.
Uh huh. Anyone else pretty sure that would have ended differently had I not been right there?
3) Drummer Boy . . . Oh, Drummer Boy! Are you ever coming home?!
I'm the mom. I'm supposed to lay a guilt trip, right?
4) Miss Innocent One released a rumble from her backside, not a polite toot, but a gurgle worthy of wincing.
Me: Yikes, honey.
Miss Innocent One: I'm surprised I don't poop my pants when I do that.
Me: No kidding.
Miss Innocent One: I didn't even dribble.
Is it just me or is that TMI?
5) I asked Ladies Man and Miss Innocent One if they had any good ideas for a birthday present for their dad. They were both in talkative moods and chattered on with little productivity until I eventually tuned out. And then I heard this.
Ladies Man: We need to solve the equation D + P = H
As a former math teacher, the equation talk perked me right up.
Ladies Man: Dad + Present = Happiness. We've got the D, now we just need to fill the variable P and we can have Happiness.
Is it any wonder I'm a little dizzy? All that closing my eyes and shaking my head takes a toll.
6) The latest text exchange between me and Drummer Boy:
Me (at an appointment in his town): R u home? want 2 eat w us?
Drummer Boy: I'm actually sick :/ stayed home from classes today.
Me: Cold? can we bring u something? need some meds or food?
Drummer Boy: Nah I'm fine. I haven't been getting much sleep lately and my body told me to stop ha.
Me: U sure we can't bring u anything?
Drummer Boy: Haha yes. I'm fine mother!
Me: OK son! hey u want 2 come 4 dinner sun. 2 celebrate dad's bday?
Drummer Boy: I'm actually gonna come home this weekend to watch the game with some guys so yeah!
Me: Glory be!
Drummer Boy: Yeah! On a side note, Jaime had some undergrad she works with ogle me today! :P
Me: She told me. STUD.
Do you see any reason he quit texting back after that?
7) I love having a husband who makes me feel wanted. We were out and about and he wanted to go out for lunch. I was more than a little hesitant since we'd gone out to lunch together Monday and had plans for the weekend.
Me: But we're going out tomorrow night for your birthday.
Kevin (with his best puppy dog face): I know, but I want you both times.
Now what woman could say no to that? I know. I'm easy. (Rachelle, zip it!)

Yeah! I'm glad he told you about the ogling. Too cute! Always nice when someone notices you...even for boys, right?!
Uh, I agree. DEFINITELY TMI! LOL
You know ... you have a knack for dialogue. That is one of the hardest parts of the craft to master too.
You know, I think working with Middle School kids is getting to me, because I laughed out loud at #4. ;)
First time here and this made me LAUGH!
My favorite name was "Ladies Man". Too funny, does he know you call him that?
Nice "meeting" you!
Oh my goodness, I am laughing so hard right now. Came across your blog from Conversion Diary and I'm so glad I did--this totally made my night! Made me remember what it was like to grow up with a brother, and makes me look forward to having kids myself. ;) You are hilarious and captured this so well!
