A conversation today between me and Z. Lulu is our dog, Z and her were jumping on each other for much of this chat. At 2 years old Z is using two or three word sentences which we are generally skilled at understanding, so for example “Me milk Daddy” means “please get me my milk Daddy” etc.. however I totally missed this one…
- Z: Me lick Lulu
- ME: Did Lulu lick you?
- Z: (shouting) Me lick Lulu!
- ME: (nervously trying to validate) Um… You didn’t like Lulu licking you?
- Z: (screaming & waving around a toy truck threateningly) ME LICK LULU!!
- ME: (beginning to get panicky) So… you REALLY did not like Lulu licking you and you would like her to stop?
pause while Z licks Lulu on her face
- ME: (relieved but disgusted) Oh… you were licking Lulu?
- Z: (just relieved) Yeh

A few days ago, as I was trying to work out how much pasta to cook, talking to Z and M (who is 6 years old)
- ME: How hungry are you both?
- Z: Um… nine!
- M: This much (holding her hands about 15 cm apart)
- ME: Ummmm… OK… (I just put the whole lot in… )

Last week after Z threw a doll at M then chased her trying to stab her with a straw
- M: I hope you get killed you big pesty pest… NOW GO AWAY YOU YUCKY, HORRIBLE MONSTER… I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
- ME: (totally ignoring everything I wrote about siblings fighting in my last post and starting to lose it) BLOODY HELL, DO YOU HAVE TO SPEAK SO RUDELY TO HIM!??!
- M: Chill out Dad, its just an expression!
- Z: Yeh Daddy!!
- Me: (deep sigh…)

I’d love to hear some of yours, please feel free to add them to the comments below
HAHA, that last one is so funny. I have been told to “stop being a drama queen mum!” by Beren (6)
Also when asking B how he knew something he responded taht it was his animation. I asked if they had watched something so he could learn (can’t remember what it was now). but he was adamant that he “just goes to his animation and knows it”. After sometime I realised he meant his imagination LOL
Miss 4 has told me she likes ‘egg pilots” for dinner. Translation = omelets
My 3 year old last night was chatting with his dad.
He said, Dad, is your heart melting?
My husband… ?
He said Dad, my heart is melting.
My husband said, Why is your heart melting?
He said. “Earwax!”
Garbage clean up in Mullumbimby:
4 Y.O. daughter: “Why on earth do people throw away so much good stuff?!!!”
Now come and have a look at the Mullum garbage to find out why this is funny, because compared to what we’re used to find in Sydney this is absolutely crap! (Agree Arun?)
Daughter hitting a plant with a hammer.
Me: “please don’t hit the plant, it has feelings too you know”
She: “Why??”
Me desperately thinking, “oh shit, maybe it was only crappy new agy kind of research that I’ve read years ago, that said that plants have feelings! But I had to say something so I said:
“Well, uhm, a plant has consciousness too.”
She: “What is consciousness? I want to know EVERYTHING adults know”…
Me, cowardly changing the subject because … I don’t want her to know already that I know very little with certainty!
Ha! I love your reaction, Arun. It’s hard to be the parent we want to be ALL the time!
Whenever I start freaking out about violence in video games Jerry sighs heavily and says, “Mom, it’s only a game.” Duh.
I have one from today… my sister-in-law and her kids went back home after a wonderful week visiting us. My daughter (6) said, “I wish they lived close to us. Then you could hang out with your illegal sister, Mom!” I asked, “Do you mean, my sister-in-law?” “Oh, yeah, that.”
that was cute!! Still laughing here…
