Not at the table, just being silly…
Me (singing):
Get your elbows off the table, Jimmy P*****s.
Get your elbows off the table, Jimmy P*****s.
We have seen you do it twice
And it isn’t very nice!
Get your elbows off the table, Jimmy P*****s!
Jimmy: “Never!”
********************************
Me: “Joey, pick up that *whatever* and take it to your room please.”
*silence*
Me: “JoJo! Pick *it* up and take it to your room!”
*giggling at cartoons*
Me: “Joey! Listen to me! Get down right now and bring *that* to me! JOEY!”
Jimmy: “Allow me.”
*slides down off the bed and picks *it* up
(I can’t remember what I wanted him to pick up.)
********************************************
Me: “Joey, did you have a good day today?”
Joey: “Uhhhh…No thanks!”
*******************************************
First thing in the morning…
Jimmy: “Mom?”
Me: “hmmmm?”
Jimmy: “I think I love you”
*heart melts into a puddle*
*******************************************
Me: “Joey, do you need a new diaper?”
Joey: “I’m fine, thanks!”
*******************************************
First thing in the morning…..
Jimmy: “Zip my jabamas.”
Me: “Get down off the bed and then I’ll zip them.”
Jimmy (raising his voice): “You do what I tell you to do, right now!”
Me (gasps): “You do not tell me what to do! Now, get down off the bed and then I’ll zip them.”
Jimmy: “Exactly. Do what I tell you.”
Jabamas = Pajamas
*******************************************
Every morning. Every evening.
Joey (whining): ”Banana! Give me banana!”
******************************************
Bedtime…
Joey: “Banana”
Me: “No, papa, it’s time to go night-night.”
Joey: “Sandwich”
Me: “No sandwich. Lay down.”
Joey: “Cookie”
Me: “In a minute.”
Note: “in a minute” is Mommy-speak for “I hope that in a minute you’ll forget about it.”
