(Click above to participate!)Thirteen things I've heard around the house this week....
1. Cody: "I don't want anything for Christmas BUT a boat ($350)." That's a big BUT Mr-I-just-bought-you-a-$500-dog-as-an-early-Christmas-present-that-you-totally-ignore.
2. You got detention in detention? Elijah: [silent] I can't believe you got detention in detention. What kind of person gets in trouble in detention? You should be embarrassed. Really. Detention in detention....(walks off muttering to self).
3. I told you to do the dishes. Why didn't you do what you were told? Nick: "Because I don't like doing dishes." Right. Ya. Good answer [insert clapping wildly like they do on the stupid game show]. I can't imagine what I was thinking??
4. Olivia: "Mom, I love you." I hear that multiple times in the day for no reason except for the fact that she loves me. Can I keep her four forever?
5. Lucas: "Scooby Doo!" "Scooby Doo!" "I want Scooby Doo!" Repeated over and over and over again until I put the movie on or he gets distracted (which takes awhile).
6. Animals: "Baaa! Quack! Cluck! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Honk! A bark, yip and a woof!" All translates into "Feed Me".
7. 30 seconds after being told he is grounded from the phone...Elijah: "Can I call Nelson?" Ahh, no. Not sure what part of -you are grounded from the phone- he didn't understand. I'll have to work on speaking clearly.
8. Nick: "Mom, watch this." At this point he balances something on his nose or shows me how he glued together 14 items to make a really cool tower or something similarly assine to delay doing homework. Anything to not do homework (as evidenced by his 3 D's!).
9. Do you have any homework? Cody: "No." Same answer everyday yet he has 2 D's and an F. At least he's consistent. There are worse things he could be.
10. Lucas: "Debbi's" "Deeebbbbiiii's" "Debbbbiiiii's" Over and over and over because he wants to go to Grandma Debbi's. He'd live there if he could.
11. Olivia: "Mom, I want to go to Debbi's." Feeding of her brother....believe me, if I could take you there, I would!
12. Husband has flown off to Kodiak to work. Mr. White: "Did you paint the floor yet?" Hello. I am home, alone, with six kids. No, I have not painted the floor yet. I may never paint the floor.
13. Let's take a nap. Please. Can we take a nap? Just a little nap. Come on, let's take a nap. [insert big time pleading]. Wee People: "No." No matter how much I beg and plead it's always the same answer. Can I stomp my feet and shout No Fair?
(Did you know it's Thursday? THURSDAY! Wasn't it just Monday? I need my week back. Now! And someone bring me some creamer. My coffee tastes like crap!)

Many of these are just a little too familiar... but let me address the last one.
Usually, when a nap is attempted, within a few scant seconds of REM being achieved, THAT'S when we return to the first in your list and start over... correct? :)
Your list gave me a wonderful chuckle, thank you! It's nice to know I'm not alone in the family craziness!
2. You got detention in detention? Elijah: [silent] I can't believe you got detention in detention. What kind of person gets in trouble in detention? You should be embarrassed. Really. Detention in detention....(walks off muttering to self).
*snicker*
Gotta love having teenagers in the house...My brother, 16, is driving me nuts...
9. Do you have any homework? Cody: "No." Same answer everyday yet he has 2 D's and an F. At least he's consistent. There are worse things he could be.
Yup. That's basically the same at our house.
Thanks for sharing!!
What a wonderfully fun list! Sounds very much like things heard around here on a regular basis.
Example....
Me: Jazmyne, it's your turn to clean the kitchen.
Jaz: Ok
10 minutes later, after seeing said child disappear into her bedroom, phone in hand.
Me: Jazmyne, did you clean the kitchen?
Jaz: Yes, Mom! (said in an exasperated tone)
Me: Then why are there still dirty dishes on the stove?
Jaz: Oh, did you mean wash the dishes too?
Slaps head and walks away muttering unmentionable words.
I'd like to keep my son 3 forever. And revert her back to 3. Preteen is getting old (she's 12). I don't know what I'm going to do when she starts into actually teenagerhood---which, OMG IS IN EXACTLY 6 MONTHS AS OF TODAY.
*picks self up off floor*
Thanks for that.
Anyhow, my TT is pictures from our trip to Colorado and Wyoming this August---just trying to remember warmer times.
Enjoy!
I am sooooo glad that my kids are grown and now have kids of their own. Better them than me!!
Ha. I love #6.
LOL! Kids are such a trip. Happy TT!
OMG!!I am soooo glad those days are over!You WILL survive,and someday you will laugh,believe it or not.
Ok that was fabulous.....I think we all can relate!....xoxoox
my punk gets out of the dishes by acting dumb(not knowing where anything goes) and stomping around long enough that i can't take it and send her to her room. then she cries that no body likes her and she is to blame for all. atleast it wasn't me this time.
Coffee that tastes like crap is just unacceptable! That will make your entire day bad. Hope you found some creamer.
