Wednesday afternoon, bus stop.
(Which I originally wrote as “Thursday afternoon.” Because all day yesterday I thought it WAS Thursday.)
It’s drizzling, so I park as close to where the bus doors will open as possible.
But drizzle = Zany kid behavior, so they still run shrieking to the truck and fling open the doors.
Me: Please don’t yell in the truck.
LC: Okay- HEY! We got something from Grandma!
All 3: YAAAAAAY!!!!
Me: Wait… What? Oh! No, that’s a letter I need to mail TO Grandma.
LC (head thrown back, exaggerated grimace on face): WAHHHHHH!!!
Me: Please don’t yell in the truck. I’m tired of having to tell you that.
LC: Sorry, Mom. Hey. It doesn’t have any stamps.
Me: I know. That’s why I haven’t mailed it. I need to take it to the post office.
Hannah: So they can weigh it for you?
Me: Yep. Then I pay what they tell me to and they mail it.
Hannah (Singing. Loudly.): Oh yeah, uh huh! Oh yeah, uh huh! Oh yeah, uh huh!
LC: Hannah, that’s annoying!
Hannah: …Oh yeah, uh huh! Oh yeah, uh huh! Oh yeah, uh huh!
LC: Hannah! SHUT UP!!!!!!
Me: LC, Don’t yell in the truck. And don’t say shut up. Hannah, stop that noise; it’s annoying.
Hannah: AAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHH!!
Me: That was my ear. Hello, yelling?
Hannah: Sorry, Mom. Charlie’s glasses look like a cantaloupe!
LC: Your FACE looks like a cantaloupe.
Me: HOW do black sunglasses look anything like a cantaloupe?
Hannah: I don’t know. Their shape?
LC: You don’t even know what shape cantaloupes are.
Hannah: That’s the exciting part!
All 3: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Maybe it’d be best if I DID block out Wednesday.
Also? I hope it’s not raining this afternoon.

Oh my gosh what an awesome post to start on! This is easily one of the most random, yet completely realistic child conversation ever.
The fact that they ALL got a kick out of that is extra funny.

The best part about kid jokes is they can enjoy that same joke over and over and over. It’s no wonder my parents kicked me out when I walked in the door.

Being a mom is so wonderful. Sigh. (Hey, how does sarcasm come across in comments?)

Had to laugh–the google ads in reader tried to whisk me away to a website that would teach me all about “child discipline” and “dealing with children’s behavior”.
Do you ever find yourself yelling (even screaming) “I SAID NO MORE YELLING!!” Or is that just me?
