I'm a stay at home mom who's found blogging to be the best way to vent rationally. I love spending time with my family. This blog is my journal, since I find journaling to be somewhat tedious, so if you visit often, just know that things will be "real."

Conversation with Zak

My conversation with Zak the other morning in the car went something like this:

"Mom, why do people have bugars?"

(Really???)

"Well," said I, "It's caused by the air trapped in your nose. All the bad stuff that you breathe in gets trapped in there. That way you stay healthy." I then gave a good plug about using Kleenex and such to get those "bugies" out.

There was a brief pause, and then "Mom, does everybody have bugars in their noses?"

Me, "Yes Zak." Trying not to laugh.

Another brief pause.

"Mom, does Jesus have bugars?" Okay, so this was said with complete earnestness. He really wanted to know. However, I was trying to contain myself.

(I had to take a break in writing this post to get Zak a toilet wipe. He uses the ruse that he can't reach them on the back of the toilet so that I will come and wipe his little touchie. Ummmm....he's five, I don't like to do that anymore. Goes along with this gross post though:) )

Back to the story...

So I thought about whether or not Jesus WOULD have bugars, what with a resurrected body and all, and couldn't come up with anything. Really, this was food for thought for me. So I answered honestly and said, "I don't know."

He seemed to be okay with that answer. Then another brief pause.

"Mom, does Santa have bugars?" I am really trying to hold myself together here. However, I did know the answer to that question.

"Yes Zak, Santa does have bugars."

I'm pretty sure Doug and I have had to blow our noses a time or too. :) I think that qualifies as Santa having bugars!

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
