mooshisms.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted inToo lazy to label.

So every parent tells other people the funny things that their kids say. Well, at least it’s funny to them. Or the people who know the kid really well. Or people who are easily amused by “kids say the darndest things” type conversations.

I am not one of those people. Yet here I am, with “the moosh says the darndest things.”

  • “MOM! There’s the biggest most awesomest toasty golden brown bug outside the window.” (Yes, toasty golden brown, like toast, or cheese, or cheese on toast. I know.)
  • (insert the moosh getting into serious trouble in public place)

***sobbing***”I WANT MY MOM.”***sobbing***

“I am your mom”

*blank stare from the moosh*

She buries her face in a chair and sobs even harder.

  • “Hey, can we get a baby brother while we’re here?” (said in the textiles aisle of TJ Maxx.)
  • “YOU DON’T HAVE ANY OPTIONS!” the moosh’s closing line to an argument with a fellow three year old.
  • “Stop doing the lawn!” Said to the landscapers outside our window.

This afternoon I woke up from a little snoozer to this:

Drizella!

And the moosh screaming this:
“DRIZELLA!”

There’s one thing no one ever tells you about parenting. You never get to be the “cool” character. You always have to be the witch or the evil stepmother or the ugly stepsister or the horse. What I wouldn’t give to play Cinderella one last time. (Dude, I’m not even allowed to like Cinderella because Cinderella IS HER FAVORITE.)

My life is rarely ever boring.

Gah. Love. Her.

Whatever do you mean we have an integrated web cam?

Especially now that I know that little black square up there is a webcam. Who knew?

  2. LURVE. And that little tiny shoe! What on earth?! BEAUTIMOUS. Let’s talk about how you’re not allowed to be Cinderella.

    My little nephew was talking about how much HE wanted to go to the park.

    Went something like so:

    Viktor: “I want to go to the park!”
    Me: “No! I want to go to the park!”
    Viktor: “NO!!! I WANT TO GO TO THE PARK!!”
    Me: “Well, can’t I go to the park with you? I really want to go to the park!”
    Viktor: “OH F*** off!”

    Truly. My stepmom heard it. I think she almost pooed. Love toddlerisms.

  4. Something about the things kids say makes my bladder leak worse than when I was pregnant.

    “You can come with me, cause you’re my favorite driver.”

    *bending over* “Hey, Fireman Mommy!”

    “What?”

    “I need your help over here.”

    “What do you need?”

    “Can you please pull this toot outta my butt?”

  6. My not-quite-four-year-old daughter knows how to open Daddy’s computer, find and click on the photobooth icon, and take an untold number of pictures of herself. He regularly comes home to find another 50 variations on some silly face or pose. Sometimes they’re of her brother. Sometimes it’s even the cat.

  14. Anissa-Nope no Photoshop. I have foot issues. I treat them like royalty. I danced for over a dozen years and need to make it up to them.
    I use True Blue Spa “Toe the Line” scrub with a pumice and I put TBS’s “Heel of Approval” cream on every night.

  17. Well, I’m not so sure it’s BOTH parents who can’t be the “cool” characters, but certainly mommies get a bad rep. When my daughter was younger, she use to assign us characters from Winnie the Pooh. My husband was always the lovable bear, stuffed with fluff. Me? Rabbit! The grumpy, obsessed-with-order grouch of the bunch. Nice.

  18. So the first two times we blogged about the same stuff on the same day, I just thought it was coincidence. Now for the third time it’s happened. I just blogged my first conversation with my clever young one. I think there is some kind of wierd telepathogging going on. Maybe you could do a seminar about that at Blogher. (insert twilight-zone type music here)

  24. The Mooshisms are too funny! I love listening to what the little ones can come up with. I love the teeny tiny pretty shoe too 🙂 I have 2 boys so the only dress up I get to play is Spiderman…

  37. Ha ha ha! I am so teaching Elliot how to say “You don’t have any options!” That was awesome. And I’m a wicked stepmother too! Maybe we can form some sort of club.

    And I LOVE the new site design. Pretty impressive from the girl I remember hyperventilating over her self-hosting last year. You rule, girl.
