SMOKING vs SMOKIN'

I am in the most wonderful swap group. We make lessons for our families and make a bunch of the same lesson and trade what we made. This last time we got a really cute lesson about The Word of Wisdom. It is a bingo game and you talk about things that are good for your body and bad for your body. My boys didn't really understand the things that were bad for your body...for example:

Me: Wesy, do you know what smoking is?
Wes: No.
Me: Smoking is bad for your body.
Wesly: But Mom, I SMOKED YOU when we played Mario and Sonic Olympics.
Me: Uh.....Yeah. But this is different.

We were looking at pictures and talked more about what it is and why it is bad for your body, etc... but he had me.
also...
Saturday I was working at a wedding. Chris sent me a text message. He told me I was busted because of a response he got from Wesly:

Chris: Okay boys, let's clean this place up.
Wesly: Why? Who is coming over?

Chris wasn't very happy that his 3 year old was under the impression that we ONLY CLEAN when someone comes over. (Apparently it means that this is my fault.) :)

We're getting better about cleaning every weekend (we have a chores chart) but for the last 4 years we have pretty much cleaned only when people were coming over. Ha!

You are definately not alone. The toilets for sure only get cleaned when I think someone outside the fam might be using the bathroom. :) I know Im gross.

Too funny!

Audrey asked us last night what "bash" meant. Aprilynne explained that a "bash" could mean "a big party," or it could mean "hitting something very hard."

Audrey concluded that her Trix Yogurt was therefore a "Strawberry Banana Party." I was impressed with her deductive reasoning.

It reminded me that one of my favorite things about children is how they notice things--similarities, especially--that we take for granted. They draw us out of ourselves and make the world dynamic again. And here I read of your son doing much the same for you (and through your storytelling, all of us!). Thanks for sharing your fun stories.
