Making Mommy Laugh

Me: "Bear, blow on the rice. It's hot."

[whew-whew]

The kid was blowing. Blowing at the container of rice. NOT the rice directly below his chin. You know, the rice that was on his plate? After a couple more puffs of air (towards the huge container), he promptly loaded his spork and shoved the rice into his mouth.

The LOOK on his face was priceless. His eyes grew wide. His mouth shut tight.

I could tell that the rice was still blazing hot.

What's funnier? Is that instead of opening his mouth and letting the hot rice out? He clamped his right hand over his mouth to keep all that steaming goodness inside his mouth.

The Hubs looked unconcerned. He continued loading the Princess' plate with a steaming heap of the rice.

Hubs: "That'll teach him to blow in the right place."

Watching the Bear pick up each piece of steamed veggie and shove it into his mouth. Each one. Independently placed into his mouth.

What was funnier was how he ate the lima bean. He picked it up. Observed it. Held the one end between his thumb and pointer finger. And took a ever so tiny bite out of the exposed end. He chewed a bit. Contemplated the taste. Then shoved the rest of the lima bean into his mouth.

Thank goodness the kid now eats all the items in the mixed vegetable frozen mix! Now if we could only get him to eat some steak or some shrimp!

As we walked through Wally-World, I turned around and saw the 'look' on the Bear's face.

Me: "Bear. Are you going poo-poo?"

Bear: "No. No poo-poo."

His knees are slightly bent. His shoulders are slightly rolled forward. He's got that holding his breath look on his face. OBVIOUSLY he is doing something.

Me: "Okay. Well, I'm headed this way."

I start to walk slowly towards the cards & wrapping paper. I turn around and watch the Bear walk. He's walking all rigid and stiff. Like something is poking him in his bottom. A big wedgie.

It was a big piece of poo-poo! I couldn't believe he was trying to deny it. Oh that boy! I, of course, took care of the mess once we got to the car about 5 minutes later. He was all fresh and clean for the ride home.

Princess: "Mommy? Hector from the kinder-first class sat at the lunch table with me today."

Me: "Oh yeah? Is he one of your friends?"

Princess: "Yes. One of the boys at lunch said something not nice."

Me: "Oh really? What did he say?"

Princess: "M. M. Mmmm.."

Me: "What WORD did he say?"

Princess: "M. M. Mary."

Me: "Mary who?"

Princess: "No Mom. Married!"

Me: "Married? Who's married?"

Princess: "No one."

Me: "What? Did that boy say he wanted to marry you or something?"

Princess: "Yes."

Me: "Well. You tell him that you're not interested until you've finished college and have started your career."

Princess: "Okay. I'll tell him that."

E-gads people! She's only been in kindergarten about 5 weeks and there's a boy who wants to marry her? Geez louise! Thankfully, I came up with a comeback that she can use for a long while.
