Gel

Bubba likes to have his hair spiked.  Yesterday, I got out a new tube of Spiking Glue (yes, that's what it's really called!) and put his hair in a nice "feaux"-hawk.

Last night at the Book Fair, his teacher came up to me and said that she got the biggest kick out of him - saying that his mom has put JELL-O in his hair!  She said that the teacher's aide almost spit out her coffee when he said it!

I then had to tell her that he used to call it JEALOUS!  She found that amusing as well!  She then responded "That's why I LOVE teaching First Grade!"

I Can't

My husband replies to my son: I can't do that.

Why not?

Because Mommy said so.

You're bigger than Mommy.  You can do whatever you want!

Lip Allergy

Have you ever had a lip allergy?

A what?

A lip allergy?

Are you asking if I'm allergic to lips?

No!

Well then what is a lip allergy?

When you eat and can't let anything touch your lips.

Who has a lip allergy?

Nobody.

Well then how did you hear about it?

I didn't.  I just thought about it in my brain.

Red Hair

We try to teach our children to be polite, but sometimes they just blurt things out - in his case, out of awe and admiration - without realizing they could have offended someone.  Such is the case this week while we were walking out of Target.  I think I made a pretty good recovery, and his response cracked me up!

A young woman, probably in her 20s, was walking out of the store in front of us.  Her hair was "two-tone", not outrageous and similar to this:

Mommy - that girl has red AND black hair!  I've never seen THAT before!

I know!  That's pretty cool, huh?

Yeah! 

Mommy used to have red hair!  Did you know that?

Really?  I want red and GREEN hair!

Only in Oz

We're watching Cartoon Network and there is a Tom & Jerry marathon going on.  Their version of The Wizard of Oz came on and I said "Oh, cool!  The Wizard of Oz!"

My son must not know the story - although I know I've had it on before and he has watched it - because he innocently asks "What is the Lizard of Oz?"

Goulash

The goulash is served!

"OK" responds my husband.

It has noodles!

"Oh yeah? Is that the 'goo'?"

No, that's the 'losh'. The 'goo' is the cheese!

So Fresh and So Clean Clean

My son was taking a bath and wanted to use his Daddy's Irish Spring soap. He likes the scent.

After lathering him up he says to me:

When I get back to school, I'm going to take my shirt off because I smell so good!

Thank you Axe commercials.... Ugh!!
