Because Facebook Doesn't Seem To Be The Right Audience...

I needed to write down a couple of hilarious things that B has said over the past couple of weeks.  The kid comes up with some downright doozies!

As I have mentioned before, the poor little guy has asked for a sister for eons now.  It breaks my heart that he thinks a sister would be more likely to talk and play with him.  He's also been saying to me that 'maybe when M is eight he will talk.  Do eight-year-olds have autism, Mom?'  But I digress.  This is about the funny stuff, not the sad stuff.

A couple of weeks ago he asked the other half, again, if he could have a sister.  Unfortunately, the other half's typical response is 'go ask your mother.'  So in he trotted to me as I was working on my laptop to ask for a sister.  When I told him it just wasn't that simple he said, 'Yes, it is!  Just go to sister.com!'  Ahhh...he is too much.

The next story I heard secondhand from the other half.  A little background info:  I, with the mouth only the daughter of a sailor could have, have been making great attempts to say other words beside the four-letter ones that generally are so satisfying to say.  Instead of saying 'shit' I have started saying 'shish kabob.' And instead of exclaiming the word that starts with an 'f' and rhymes with 'duck,' I have been exclaiming (with great frequency, I now realize) 'Jay-sus!'  Now, I was raised a fine Catholic girl.  I realize taking the Lord's name in vain is frowned upon (even if I do put a slightly different inflection on that first syllable), but I figure that the Lord thinks it's better to exclaim his name than to curse, right?  Well...apparently Mr. B was frustrated the other day and copied my exclamation.  The other half looked at him and said, 'What did you say?  That's not a nice thing for little boy's to go around yelling.'  Without missing a beat, B looked at him and said, 'I said 'cheese sauce,' Dad!'
So now I'm going to be saying 'cheese sauce' instead of 'Jay-sus' when I'm frustrated.
This is particularly funny to the other half and I because I have always been told of a story of when he was a little boy and angrily yelled 'God!' in front of his Dad.  When his Dad asked him to repeat what he'd said, he told him, 'I said 'Hod!'  I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but B beats his Dad on creativity!

Brilliant. I may start saying cheese sauce as well. Better than the Jaysus, Joseph and Mary and all the fark words that are often heard around here. :)

My 9 year old son desperately wants a sister and an 8 year old brother who talks :(

I've just had my 4th boy and he has finally realised that his (and my) sister dreams are over. He can't say I didn't try though :)
