Things a Mother Might Ask

You know, kids can be so very funny without even trying, they are naturals. How do they do it? Well, they don’t have to work at it like some adults do and when they end up being funny, it is usually at the worst possible time and it almost ALWAYS involves some type of bodily function AND it is almost ALWAYS in mixed company.

Your average four year old knows nothing about Twitter and the average four year old does not know that the messages are often referred to as Tweets.

My daughter, a young adult giant, was bringing her little brother home from the store where he had just purchased his “Chocolate Mountain”. He was so happy and life was good.

In the lift/elevator, that is not very big, there were 2 grown up giants and 1 young adult giant. My little cutie was to stand behind his sister, with only “butts” to look at. I am sure he was working the foil off of his “Chocolate Mountain” so it probably did not even phase him.

My daughter said that it just came out, but it was quiet.

I told her that even the most silent of silent can’t get by the nose of a kid, they know right away who did it because they are back row center!

Besides, I said, if he was the one who it did it, he would claim he did it. He used to tell us that he “popped”. Took me a while to figure that one out.

But not today…nope. No popping from his end. He scrunched his little nose and snickered to his big sister as he pointed and said, in his “recess voice”,

“Ewwww….that’s a-scusting Sissy, YOU TWEETED”.

He picked today of all days to change from his usual phrase of, “Ewwwww…..You POPPED.”

Don’t you just love little brothers? You can always count on them to out you for everything you say and do.

Omie was 2 years old in the photo I used for this post. I picked that one because of how he is laughing in it. I felt it was a fitting pic for this occasion! Of course he is now 4 and knows how to speak very well!
