My kids are too much fun
Last night, I was getting ready to go over to my friends' house, and I was playing trains with my son. I then got completely lazy to do anything or go anywhere, b/c playing trains was about the most fun thing ever. He's so funny. He's all up in the Cars phenomena. So, he was "witnening mickeeen" which is how he says "Lightening McQueen" and I had to be the Larry the Cable Guy character, Mater. (I never get to be the racecar!)
The game we played was in his words "Mater and wightening mickween bestfriends hopaloaf".
No one really knows what hopaloaf means. Its a word he made up. It is some sort of game where you stand on one foot, hop, and hold your fingers up like horns on either side of your head. I of course, being mater, also had to stick my front teeth out and talk in a hick accent and pretend to be a tow truck. I was glad at the time there was no camera, but in a few years, I will wish that we had taped the whole thing. (I say taped, but I mean "put on our digital camcorder"). Then, we had fun playing a puppet show, and then he fell asleep in my arms.
And on the daughter front, my kid rules AIM. I asked her on aim what she thought of people who wear cellphones on her head, and literally the response was immediate "Retards." She kills me! She is really really funny. I told her she killed me meaning she was too funny, and then she started typing in the lyrics to "Danny Boy."
Sometimes, being a parent is the most wonderful feeling in the world. And I have to say, my kids are awesome.
