…this weekend at our house…
Me: Ransom, please don’t stab your brother right now… (using a small Peter Pan “sword”)
Ran: Well, can I please stab him later?
The next day…
Ran: Mama, Rhys is sucking on me & Little Jerri (the cat) is biting my toes! Why is everyone always sucking and biting me?
Me: Rhys, don’t suck your brother.
Ran to Rhys: If you ever suck me again, I am going to suck your face right off!!!
Me: Ransom, it’s not nice to threaten your brother with sucking his face off. No one is sucking anything around here!
Ransom thinks for a minute: Except, Rhys sucks your boobies & that’s okay.
Dave & I: a knowing look & complete silence. 🙂
Today:
Ransom is pushing his big pirate ship through the kitchen & we hear him say to himself, “arrr matey! There be a wicked storm on this raging sea. Quick shoot that baby with a missile!”
Ransom: don’t shoot your brother with missiles.
Ransom shoots it.
Me: Ransom!
Ransom: But, Mama he didn’t cry. Why can’t I shoot Rhys-y bear if he doesn’t cry?
Me: Because I said so!
Ahhh kids…
