In the car:<\/u><\/div>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> That was my fart.<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> You can say \u201cExcuse me\u201d.<\/p>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> Excuse me!<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> You can still be a princess though. Even if you fart.<\/p>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> Yeah. Did you fart too?<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> Yes. Excuse me!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
2.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\nDuring clean up time:<\/u><\/div>\n\ufeff<\/div>\n
Ms Action:<\/strong> That little man goes in the dollhouse.<\/p>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> Should I put him in the bed?<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> No, put him on the potty, because he has to go lots and lots and lots of pretend poo poo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\nIn the car:<\/u><\/div>\nMs Action<\/strong> (shrieking!!):<\/em> Mom! My coat unzipped again!!!<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> I\u2019m sorry that happened, we will fix it when we get there.<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> No! It\u2019s not right! Fix it now!<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> Honey, sometimes coats don\u2019t work the way they are supposed too. Like, my coat won\u2019t zip at all right now because my belly is so big.<\/p>\nSilence\u2026<\/em>
Ms Action<\/strong> (Matter-of-factly<\/em>): That\u2019s because you have a baby in your belly. That\u2019s what wrong with you.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
4.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\nIn\u00a0 the Kitchen:<\/u><\/div>\nMe:<\/strong> Honey? Where is the Salad bowl?<\/p>\nSilence\u2026<\/em><\/p>\nHusband<\/strong> (smiling sheepishly<\/em>): Um, I think I put it in that food cabinet. You know the one that you cleaned out in a pregnancy hormone induced rampage the other day and told me to never put dishes in there anymore?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
5.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\nAt bedtime:<\/u><\/div>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> What is a Jelly fish?<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> A jelly fish is made out of bubble gum.<\/p>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> Ohhhh, so that the fish can eat them.<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> No, fish don\u2019t eat Jelly fish.<\/p>\nSilence\u2026<\/em><\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> Fish, BIG fish can eat people! <\/p>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> Yeah, because they have big teeth like me. (chomps her teeth)<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> But people don\u2019t like that, because teeth can hurt! So they say \u201cno fish! Don\u2019t bite me!\u201d<\/p>\n6.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\nIn the Kitchen:<\/u><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Husband:<\/strong> I thought we were eating the left over Thai food for lunch, why are you making French toast. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Me:<\/strong> YOU<\/em> can have the Thai food, but I\u2019ve been craving French toast for days now, so I\u2019m having that.<\/p>\nHusband:<\/strong> Oh. Is that why you\u2019ve been suggesting French toast for like every meal?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
7.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\nMs Action:<\/strong> Mom, I\u2019m a \u201ckinkadoo\u201d, do you know that word kinkadoo?<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> Ummm, you mean a kangaroo?<\/p>\nMs Action:<\/strong> No, a kinkadoo. Kink a doo.<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> ??<\/p>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> Oh no! The kinkadoo is stuck in a beehive!<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> ??<\/p>\nMs Drama:<\/strong> But then Diego will tell us to pull pull pull and we will get him out!<\/p>\n(That was when I realized they were talking about a cartoon. If anyone knows what Spanish word sounds like \u201ckinkadoo\u201d let me know!)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Bonus:<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\nClearly way past my naptime:<\/u><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Me<\/strong>(crying):<\/em> This day stinks.\u00a0The house is messy, the kids won\u2019t stop touching me and the bread for my sandwich won\u2019t work right!<\/p>\nHubby:<\/strong> Um, maybe you should go take a nap now.<\/p>\nMe<\/strong> (stomping my foot):<\/em> No! I\u2019m tired of being tired and I\u2019m tired of sleeping!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
