"Mom where are we going after we take Bekah to preschool?"
"The bank, Target and then home."
"Mom"
"What?"
"I have an idea, let's go the Kid's Discovery Museum!"
"Honey that's in San Jose and too far to go today because you have school later."
"But mooooom...."
"Mike stop whining!"
"Ok but we should go to the museum because it's not foggy."
Pause while I think what the hell fog has anything to do with going to the Children's Discovery Museum.
"You are right, it's not foggy but we aren't going today."
"Where are we going?"
"I just told you!"
"Can we go to the bank with lollypops?"
"Yes"
We go to bank, get lollypops, deposit check and drive to Target.
"Why are we going to Target?"
"To get medicine"
"Why?"
"Because mommy and daddy are old and old people take medicine."
Once we get to the pharmacy Mike runs to the counter and yells "Hey is anybody here?"
"Michael! We have to wait our turn in line."
"Mom"
"What?"
"Can I have a toy?"
"No"
"Whyyyyyy?"
"Mike stop whining!"
"I am good why can't I have a toy?"
"Auntie Merrill just bought you a toy and Hanukkah is coming and you will get a ton of toys."
"Mom"
"What?"
"Can I have a treat?"
"You just had a lollypop!"
"They have a Starbucks here"
Damn he's got me on that one, I need coffee bad.
"Ok if you are really good and don't run off, you and Jake can have a vanilla milk."
So we go look at Xmas trees while waiting for my prescription.
Very loudly, "We don't do Christmas because we are Jews!"
"That's right, but the trees are pretty."
We get our beverages and then go look at toys.
"Mom I want this for Hanukkah!" Repeats this 100 times at top of his lungs.
"Mom I haven't played with one of these in ages!"
"In ages? You are only 4"
"Mom I don't have a fishing pole."
"That's because we don't go fishing."
"We could go fishing."
"Yes someday we might go fishing and then you would need a pole, but not today."
We leave Target.
"Mom"
"What?"
"I have an idea, let's go to the park."
"Actually that's a really good idea, let's go. "
One hour later.
"Michael it's time to go honey you have to eat lunch and then go to school."
"Moooooom"
"Mike stop whining!"
"Ok 40 more minutes"
"How about 2 more minutes?"
"Mom I am having fun here"
"Me too but we have to go."
We get in van.
"Can we get Happy Meals?"
"No."
"Whyyyy?"
"Mike stop whining!"
"I love Happy Meals"
"You never eat your Happy Meal! You just play with the toy!"
"Where are we going after preschool?"
"Nowhere"
"Who is coming over tonight?"
"Nobody"
"But I love Auntie Merrill, I miss her!"
"You just saw her last night honey, she is busy today."
"Where is Oliver?"
"I don't know."
"But I miss Oliver and I want to have a sleepover tonight".
"You can't have a sleepover on a school night"
"I want to go out to dinner tonight with Daddy."
"Mike stop whining! We are not going out to lunch or dinner or having a sleepover. Not every day is a party honey. We had a long weekend and had fun and we need to relax tonight."
"Mom"
"What?"
"I love you"
"I love you too buddy. You are a very sweet boy and you make me laugh."

Ok, I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts. Nathan walked in and asked what I was doing and I couldn't stop to tell him for a few minutes. THAT is my life!!!!! Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom...WHAAAAATTTT!
I read it to Nathan and he was cracking up. I just know that it is going to come back to bite me that I read it to him. He will mimic it for days now! And think it is funny!
I love your blog...keep it up girlfriend you make me laugh so hard.
Miss you and Love you,
Natalie
Ahhh, don't you just love them? You could be getting just so frustrated and ready to snap with the "Guess What's" and they say I Love You and your (I used it correctly this time) heart just melts. I miss my babies.
I LOVE this one. Very cute and having a two year old, I can completely imagine the entire tone of every line. :-) -B.W.
I know why do they always go Mom and then wait for you to answer? Why can't they just start talking after they say mom? I miss you too and I didn't even know you read my blog! Thanks for all the cute clothes and shoes you gave Bekah!
Ok anonymous who are you? Mike always uses the I love yous just in time. Right before I lose it.
I can't wait until Christopher starts talking more. It's always interesting to know what's going on in their head.
This is great Charlotte. Rayleen has only just started the mom mom mom. She was late talking due to preemie but now she is making up for lost time!
All of my kids were kind of late walkers but they make up for it by running everywhere they go. Kids always balance everything out.
