Having kids just makes you laugh at times. . . here are some examples from just this weekend.
1. Saturday afternoon I took the plunge and cut 11 inches off of my hair (yes, mom "my one beauty"). Before I even left I warned the boys that I might look different since it's been pretty long over the past few years. I myself was in a little shock about how different it looked and felt, I lost nearly 4 pounds from the haircut alone! When I came home Carson saw it and told me I was a beautiful mommy (Nick has trained them well in this department). However, Spencer was in complete oblivion, this was the conversation that took place.
M: Hey does anything look different about me?
S: No
M: Are you sure? Look at my hair.
S. It's dark (wrong, I just paid a small fortune to get it highlighted)
M: Is it long or short now?
S: Long you should get it cut.
At this point he was done with the conversation and walked away and has had nothing else to say about it. Are you kidding me? I am hands down the one person he spends every single day with, how could he not notice a huge difference like this?!
2. This last week Spencer and Carson have been both been sick. Carson's has been able to turn his on and off when it's convenient. So last night at dinner I was trying to diagnose exactly what was sick about him. Here's how the conversation went. . .
M: So what's feeling sick? Your head, ears, throat?
C: Well mostly my head but last night when I was sleeping on the couch my ear hurt so I stuck my finger inside and something orange came out and I tasted it but it was gross so I wiped it on the carpet.
First of all I agree this sickness is all in your head buddy. Next, way too much information about the late night earwax tasting, especially at dinner. I'm glad that you feel comfortable enough to share with us, but I'd rather not know the details of all the gross stuff you boys do. And finally lets respect the carpet, didn't you see the pregnant lady steam cleaning it last week?
