I didn't know my mouth was even big enough for my foot. Although I DO seem to put it there frequently.


Not the best way to start your day.

Me: “Jackson, how’s your grandfather?”

Jackson: “Which one? You mean the one that’s DEAD? WELL, he’s not that good! Cause he’s DEAD!!!

.....Jeesh.”


Me: “Um, I was talking about your other one.”



(What do you do when your amazing computer technician puts your hard drive into another laptop and it LIVES????? You drop the the GROUND and kiss her feat. THEN you thank the LORD and think about the lesson that you learned. Yeah. Back-up EVERYTHING. RIGHT NOW.)

  12. I once asked a little girl, about 4 years old, if she had a nice Christmas.

    Big sigh, and with TONS of attitude, "No!!!"

    Stupid me asked, "Why not?"

    Another big harumph. "Because I'm Jewish!"

    Put in my place by a 4 year old. The mother was amused.

  27. I drive my boyfriend *insane* with the lack of "backing up" my hard drive. I can't tell you how many times (in the past) I've called him in a panic... (Now he's learned to just do it for me. See? We both learned a lesson. I think.)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I am absolutely the worst about backing up my computer......

    Jeesh.

  29. You are sooo lucky with the computer stuff! :)

  30. I don't know. According to my husband dead would be good so he wouldn't have to deal with all my shenanegins.

    Dang. I say that all the time but I have no idea how to spell it!

  31. That was hilarious! Kids!

  32. Recently, my laptop fan died and I didn't know it. My computer would randomly die and I can't live without the internet, I cannot. When the boyfriend fixed it, I almost lost my head and proposed right then. I feel you. So very, very glad you got your data back.

    My favorite of my own kid moments: following a too-spicy quesadilla from Taco Bueno, my 5 year old said, "That's not Taco Bueno, that's Taco NO Bueno. We will not eat there again." And to this day, we drive past it and she says, "There's Taco No Bueno."

  33. Depending upon who is your computer tech, there are lots of fun ways to say "Thank you!"

    You should sign Tightwad up for a computer trouble-shooting class. :)

  34. At least he had another one to refer back too :O)

  35. I'm so pissed you just reminded me to back up everything because I really don't need to add another thing to my to-do list.

    :-)

  37. You can kiss her feat or her feet...either one! :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. like, when you say "dead", just how "dead" do you really mean?

    ReplyDelete
  39. You dance the dance of joy. That is all. No feet or feat kissing.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ha! Dead would not be good :-) It's funny where kids' minds go.

    Woo-hoo about your computer repair!

  41. Sometimes small children can make you feel awesome ("You look pretty!") and sometimes they can make you feel like a complete twit ("Why did you just pour your coffee into your corn flakes?").

    Always entertaining though.

  42. lmao.
    oh, kids. they kill me.
    jeesh. lol

  43. I've been tiptoeing around the subject of "death" with my 4yo since my grandfather passed away a few months ago. She is scared to death to lose me, so for now, she thinks people only die if they are really sick or really old....so, yesterday I, out of curiousity for her reaction, asked her where Max and Ruby's parents are since they're never on the show? She told me, Oh, they're dead. They were SOOOOO old.
