Say What?

"Don't put your foot in the toilet.  It's for peeing in, not a foot bath."

Um....

Email received from Prospector, who is home sick today, with Buddy, who is also sick:

"At least it was a penguin he dipped in the toilet, but I'm still trying to figure out how his head got wet. Buddy's head, not the penguin's."

Almost a year ago....

So, the other day, Chuckles says to me:

"Guess what I figured out today??"

Mama "What"

Chuckles " I discovered that I'm left handed."

Pause.... while Mama is thinking "You know what, just don't ask. Just don't go there... just smile and say ok cool....."


Mama "Um, how have you discovered this, Chuckles?"

Chuckles "Cause when I write, I use this hand (holding up right hand)"

Mama "That, um, would be your right hand, Chuckles"

Chuckles "But I thought I broke my left leg?"

Mama "You did."

Chuckles "But if this is my right hand, how come this is my left leg?" (pointing to right leg)

Mama "That would be your right leg, Chuckles"

Chuckles "really? I thought that was the one I broke?"

Mama "um, no..... it was the other one."



It was one year ago on Aug 21 that she broke the leg..... It would appear that she has no lasting effects, seeing as, well, she can't remember which of the two legs it was that she broke."

Things I never thought I would say - Part Three

"Don't forget to take your indoor shoe [singular] to school today!!"

'Cause she hasn't worn a shoe on her left foot in five months now..... I could totally see her wearing her boots in, getting off the bus, and going to get her indoors on.... only to find, she only had one!!

Things I never thought I would say - Part Two

"Don't put Baby [his dolly] in the toilet!!! Baby doesn't need to pee in the toilet!"

Apparently, toilet training is hazardous to dollies

On the plus side, he did put the trainer insert seat onto the toilet first, and then put it back away afterwards, and closed the lid. But Baby's bum is much smaller than his, so it slid right through!

"Why is it you won't wear a hat, but you'll run around with a toilet seat on your head??"
