"Mama, your hair looks like a rooster." Thanks honey, I love you too

We are expecting our first little one in a few months, so I can’t wait until we get the cute comments. Growing up as the oldest of 12, I had a chance to hear lots of cute things. One thing that I only vaguely remember was something that I did-- I was just a little more than 2 years old. We were at Mass one Sunday morning, and, of course during the quiet time after Communion but before the closing prayer, the gentleman sitting behind us, a long-time family friend, started to tug on my tiny purse. I turned around and said what I thought my mom would have said:

“Terry, just what in the H*** do you think you’re doing?”

I haven’t been teased about it lately, but I have a feeling it will come up in conversation when our little ones say cute things…

I like to see this thread pop up occasionally. So here it is again.

Yesterday, my 7 year old in all kindness & sincerity said, “Mama, you take the big umbrella 'cause you can hardly fit under that. I’ll take the small umbrella.” Well, here’s the way it is I am not at the weight & size I was in college; however, I have yet to outgrow the usefulness of a golf umbrella. Hmm maybe it’s time to look in the mirror again.

One of my students hugged me and told me I was nice and squishy

JUST LIKE HIS MOM

I didn’t pass that on to her.

From my five-year-old:

“Mom, even though you make the worst-tasting food in the whole world, you’re still the best mom ever!”

We bought my nine-year old son a new suit and tie for his piano recital yesterday. He kept gazing at himself in the mirror with much admiration and said, “Mommy, this is something I could wear for a romantic dinner.”

I really cracked up at his coming up with that.

My 4 year recently floored me. My dad was talking about road kill. (I still don’t know why.) She asked papa what was road kill. He tried to gently explain to her that some people call animals that get run over road kill. She asks him, is Sissy road kill? Sissy was our poodle that got run over. My poor dad was floored. He never expected her to make that connection. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I was putting my 4 yr. old in his car seat today. I grabbed his little cheeks and said “You are soooo handsome” he looked at me with little loving eyes and said “Nonny you are sooo handsome too.”
I laughed and said “Thank You but girls are supposed to be pretty.” his reply “Nonny you are pretty handsome”

My brother had an incident in Mass when he was misbehaving. We always sat in the front row, so everyone was able to see what happened next. My mom got up and was going to take him out to the car until he could start behaving. He immediately started screaming, “YOU’RE NOT MY MOMMY!” He knew that that was what he was supposed to say if some stranger grabbed him, and he thought that maybe someone would rescue him if they thought he was being kidnapped.

My sister and I were in Mass. I was probably four or five years old, and she was two or three. When the priest held up the host at the Consecration, my sister yelled “HOW COME HE GETS THE BIG ONE?” I hate to say it, but part of me was glad she’d asked, because I’d wondered that, too.

When the priest held up the host at the Consecration, my grandson yelled out “I WANT SOME CHIPS TOO.”

When I was looking for an apartment, I went to one that was currently rented by a conservative Muslim family from Egypt. The wife was clad in traditional ultra-modest clothing. Their English was good, but a tad unnatural.

Their little adorable son, probably about 2, was playing with their broom, and accidentally stuck it up my skirt and caused me to show my undies to the whole family.

The father was so terribly embarassed, “I am sorry, he is so young, and he does not understand what he does.” Poor guy!
