“Thomas da Twain has a penis!” -Lucas (2013, 3.5 years old) Mommies have a not-penis (aka bajina). Daddies have a penis (aka a not-jina). And twains ::ehem:: trains apparently do, too? Listening to a young child explain who’s got what or who doesn’t is pretty much the best reality TV show that will never and [...]
VIEW POST“I want to be a fiweman. So I can wescue people.” -Lucas (2013, 3.5 years old) Sometimes my kids say things to me that are so moving to me that I catch myself, the look I’m wearing on my face. Because sometimes the aftermath of a heart-microwaving statement or moment is me sitting there, still, [...]
VIEW POST“You taste like a clean pretzel.” -Finn (April 2013, 3.5 years old) This was after my son licked his mama’s face… First, what? Second, what does a dirty pretzel taste like?

VIEW POST“Mama, I’m your son. Son is a different word for love.” -Finn (April 2013, 3.5 years old) Sometimes, the simplicity of youth can trump even the greatest mind of those elders who’ve seen it all.

VIEW POST“Daddy’s stinky!” [I change my shirt] “S’okay now. I can’t smeww da stinky anymoh.” “But… when it goes away, it comes back.” -Lucas (2013, 3.5 years old) Personal hygiene can experience a “low” when people become parents. Low like The Great Depression. All the hustle and bustle… ::sigh:: At least that’s what I’m blaming it [...]
VIEW POST“NO, DADDY! You NOT take a picture of me aaaaaany more!” -Lucas (2013, 3.5 years old) There is camera shyness, and then there’s ohpleasestopit-ness about being photographed or videoed. Some of us can really can be obnoxious Mama- and Papa-razzi with our kids. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with occasionally staging things so a [...]
VIEW POSTFINN (Watching Busytown Mysteries): “Mama, do you know dat hippo’s name is? “ AVARA: “No, Finn. I don’t.” FINN: “Her’s a girl hippo. (seconds later) Like you.” I can already tell that my job as a dad will include teaching my son about timing and tact. The do’s and don’ts of male-to-female interaction have filled [...]
VIEW POST“If I twist my penis, I can fwy up in da sky.” -Lucas (3 years old) Get to da choppah? My first response to this statement was… a lot of silence, followed by a lot of hrghnck (the strangled sound of poorly-restrained uncontrollable laughter). I was reminded of bits in cartoons where characters used their [...]
VIEW POST“You’re the best mama ever.” -Finnegan (2012, 2.5 years old) Gentleman Baby tries on shoes. He was looking right at me. I guess he’s right. I’m great at breastfeeding… About 2 minutes later he said “Dada” and that was nice while it lasted. – Previous My Kid Just Said PWESENT FO ME! My Kid [...]
