I am standing at the changing table trying to plan a visit with an old friend while changing Nicholas, who is screaming because he’s been made to wait fifteen minutes to eat, because I had the other two at the pool, where Julianna initiated the water by pooping in her diaper, which caused me to end the party even earlier than planned, and then to allow Alex to play outside while I brought Julianna inside to clean up the truly disgusting mess.
And in the middle of the conversation (did you, perchance, remember after all that, that I was on the phone?), Alex tromps up the stairs, still wet, and sniffling pathetically, because his neighbor friend hit him in the face with his toy sword. I take the opportunity to reinforce why we don’t hit people with toy swords, and he says, “B-but Mommy…it’s Tanner’s fault, because I was trying to shoot him and he hit me with his sword!”
Ah, the moments when there’s nothing to do but roll on the floor laughing out loud!

Oh that’s funny. Leave it to a child to make you crack up! I have one of those in our family too.

One of those crazy mom moments for sure! I love his honesty though; that is too funny!
I’m SO glad you joined in today! Thanks for the laugh!

Doesn’t it all seem to pile up at the same time? I think sometimes babies plan their stinky diapers when it’s most difficult to change 🙂 MIKI
Too funny! I love to hear about the reasons my boys feel the need to “defend” themsleves!
he he! There’s always a “reason” isn’t there? Thanks for stopping my blog 🙂 I find yours very inspiring and I ADORE your Gratitude page. During my teaching years, I had multiple special needs students in my classroom. I loved my children there no matter what their needs were, but secretly, one of my favorites was little Nick who has Down’s. That child taught me more in 1 year than I ever could have experienced on my own… 🙂
Poopy pool diapers are the worst, the absolute worst! And you’re so right. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. (Or hit somebody with your sword.) =>
Ha, ha! Wow, what a day you had! I love the logic of kids. Some times I wonder if there little brains will ever figure common sense out!
Thanks for playing along with Sunday Funnies!!!!
