Buddy, angry because he didn’t want to stop playing and take a bath: “I’m so SICK OF THIS!” I think he swiped at a wall.
Whoops. Wonder where he learned this from?
[Note to self: Learn to channel frustration another way. *ahem* I don’t swipe at the wall, or anything else for that matter, though.]

At 6am today, both kids:
“Daaa-aaad — I have a pooo-ooop! It’s your lu-cky daaaay!” Followed by much giggling.
:::::
At camp, the kids learned that ‘Sharing is Caring.’ Now when they fight over something, it goes something like this: “But Mom, Iwantthis and Buddywon’tshare but sharingiscaring and Iwantthisplease, Ineedit.”
The other day Bean brought home a beaded necklace for me. Buddy tried to snatch it from me and I said, “Hey, this one is mine! And we don’t grab from each other.”
He looked up at me with those huge eyes and a coy smile and said, “But Mom… Sharing is caring.”
Oh Lawd.
:::::
G (while we were being stupid one day) asked, “Hey Buddy, can you say: ‘To be, or not to be?’”
Buddy thought for a moment, then answered hopefully, “Um… not to be?”
Well… that was the question.
:::::
One evening, I stood behind G and threaded my arms around him to pretend he had four arms. We did a stupid routine — the kind only very little kids would find funny — and the kids were laughing huge belly laughs.
Finally, Buddy said breathlessly, “I can’t… stop… LAUGHING!” and then, “You are CRACKING ME UP!”
So silly, those phrases. But when you hear your kids saying them for the first time, it is the cutest thing ever. EV. ER.

Another viral video that made me laugh (especially the meeting interrupters): If Internet commenters held a business meeting.

First!
Buddy? is hilarious. “not to be”.
I forgot to congratulate you on your freelance job last time.
(what are they saying in the video?? po? what is that?)
I think it must be so much better hearing your kids say phrases like that than it is when you hear the phrases your own mom and dad said coming out of your mouth, like, “If I’ve told you once I’ve told you. . .” Well, you know.
Ha! Great quotes.
Hey, at least Buddy didn’t curse. My daughter said “Shit!” today. Oops.
humor definitely runs in the family. your kids are fun-ny! i’m glad i shared my blooper videos with you… because sharing really is caring, halfmama!
It sounds like your children have a wonderful sense of humor, like their Mom. Isn’t it amazing how much they pick up from you and your husband, love the phrases, especially “you are cracking me up”, so cute.
The “not to be” quote had *me* laughing huge belly laughs. Thanks for cracking me up!
Awww! I love those cute, cute little phrases! “You crack me open” is my fave from The Big Guy!
Hubby loved the video of the meeting - thanks for sharing!!!
That video was hilarious, as are the quotes. But wait, what DOES poon mean?
