This isn't really a favorite saying, but I think it's pretty darn cute. The "conversation" goes like this ...

Me: Who's hot?
G: Bon Jovi
Me: Who's not?
G: Tom Petty

Yes. I taught him that. And because I laugh, he thinks it's funny. My girlfriend who is a serious BJ fan, thinks it's a hoot too.

P.S. I like Tom Petty's music alot, but you do have to admit he is not very hot.

P.P.S. Yes. I know this ages me

My 4 year olds big response as to why she's done something is "Because I wanted to." It is driving me crazy. She doesn't like the consequences but thinks she can do whatever she wants, whenever she wants.

And the 3 year old is finely tuned into airplanes flying overhead. If she is awake and playing, then she likes the airplanes and runs to a window or door to try and see the airplanes. She can even tell you if it's a big airplane or small airplane based on sound alone. If, however, it is nighttime and she is in bed, then "The big airplanes scare me. They hurt my ears. They going to get me." This nighttime routine of crying over airplanes all started thanks to the Blue Angels that felt the need to fly over at 10pm one night while in town and wake her up. Now all airplanes are "going to get her" if she is in her room.

I'm Good

These are too funny! MAM currently says, "nah, I'm good" if you offer her something she doesn't want (which is a vast improvement over her emphatic no!)

She is also very proud of her use of the alternatives I've given her to saying D@M# IT. I'm glad the alternatives are taking, but if something drops, she says, "Oh man! Oh nuts! Oh no" over and over again until I acknowledge that she's used approved alternatives. (In hindsight i should have started using said alternatives years ago)

She also likes to quote the matchmaker in Mulan and blurts out , "YOU WILL NEVER BRING YOUR FAMILY HONOR!!" several times a day.

AKMamma- The "Because I wanted to." would drive me crazy too!

Airplanes at 10pm, I would be scared too!


Slatond10- You got your hands fulll. "I got a plan!?!"- Too cute!


Gs_mom- Dating ourselves is good! We're like wine, we get better with time!


McNally720- Yeah, I like the alternatives are much better too.


Denice - Yeah, what's up with all that poop?! I'm sure I'll be hearing it soon enough.
