This started as stuff Evie has said that I've remembered to write down. If only I had started sooner. I've missed things like "I almost agot", "Mmmmm, goot", "Farshfellows are yummy, yummy, yummy", "All the people", "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba", "Baa Baa Boo", "Cowabunga, Dude!", "A Lion Guard Bliund Bag", "I do it", "Oh, yaaaah", "I'm a Haidband Haid", "Dey Cazzy". As of 2017, we've added stuff Andy says, too. I sometimes forget to post it before I've forgotten what they said or did so this is by no means all the funny things that have happened. And you also don't get to see the looks on their faces, the tone of voice they used or the hand gestures that go along with it. I wish I'd had something like this for my kids!
Andy and I had been talking the other day about how even at his elementary school, there’s a lot of swearing going on. Like you hear it everywhere. Today, as we were waiting for Evie to get out, a teenage boy rode past us on a scooter and yelled out the F word really loudly.
Nana – “See, it’s everywhere. Some kid randomly, for no apparent reason, just rides by and yells the F word. What the heck?”
Andy – “Or what the F word, if you will.”
I was talking to Andy about how there are too many Karens in the world and we needed to start focusing on the non-Karens but we needed to come up with a name for them. He suggested Grace…without even realizing what a perfect name that would be for a non-Karen. LOL.
A few weeks ago, while we were brushing our teeth, Andy was holding his stomach and complaining it hurt. He sometimes will sit on the floor and so he sat down and let out a pretty decent fart. He looked at me with very surprised eyes and said “Wow, I think that might have done it!”
Andy and I were watching women’s skating. We were talking about the men’s competition coming up. I told him if he thought the women’s jumps were cool, the men did some crazy jumps and it was probably because they were stronger. He said “Yeah, but I bet they aren’t as elegant!”
I asked Andy today if he still liked the girl he had a crush on last year. He said yes but someone told him she didn’t like him. “So I have someone else in mind in case it doesn’t work out!”. SMH.
And when he came in to show me he said “Evie was right! I looked in the mirror and I am adorable!”
Evie performed in the district’s Honor’s Choir. I think Andy liked it.
While brushing teeth, I pulled some cat hair off the back of Andy’s pants.
Andy – “I literally have a hairy butt!!”
Driving home from school and Andy and I are talking about the clouds.
Nana – “Lookit how that side is all dark and over there is all light.”
Andy – “Yeah, it’s like heaven opened up or something!”
Andy – “Why can’t Elsa have a balloon.”
Andy – “Cuz she would just let it go.”
