Random things overheard at my house

When S-- saw the printed ultrasound picture of the baby's spine (he didn't attend the ultrasound with the rest of us), he said:

"It looks like a lizard.....Are we having a lizard?!?!?"




At random times during the day, especially if he is displeased with one of us, T-- will declare, pointing his little finger forcibly at the offender:

"You're FIRED!"

I have no idea where he heard it or how he knows to use it so appropriately, but it sounds awfully funny coming from a four-year-old. (And if I comb his hair just right, he has that Trump do to go with it.)




The night before the ultrasound, as we were getting ready for bed, I mentioned to Phil that it was a good thing we'd left the boys' alarm clock on since it would get them up and ready to leave right when we needed to.

Me: "If they're already up and going, it won't be a problem to be out the door by 8:30."

Phil: "Why would we need to be out the door by 8:30?"

Me (looking incredulously at him, trying to decide if he was teasing and realizing he wasn't): "Are you SERIOUS?!?!?"

Phil: "Huh? ........ OH. Yeah. I forgot about that."

I nearly threw my wet washcloth at him.

HA! "Are we having a lizard?" That cracks me up! Only a boy would be THAT excited.

The male species... tee hee.

Yes, it is a girl lizard. ;-)

Congrats on your daughter. That is so much fun. It will be good for her to have all those older brothers... ;-)

It would have been tempting to paly along and tell hime that it was indeed a lizard in your belly.

I love lizards, but girls are so much more fun.

No doubt you've registered your little miss at All About Pets . . . ?

My 4 year old has that same sass! Only she will tell me something, and then put one hand on a hip, and point the other hand's index finger at me and say "And That's That!"
She now gets sent to her room and told we don't say that to grown-ups "and that's that!"

Too much apprentice at your house, huh? Cute, cute, cute!

My older girls upon finding out that we were having another girl when I was pregnant with Melody started jumping around and screaming at their brothers "In your face. We won!"

Family: Isn't it about outnumbering your male siblings and viciously ganging up on them?

Of course, it'll be the flip side of that in your house soon.
