Friday Fun: Crazy Things Kids Do and Say


After a week of digging into The Trinity, I thought we would have a little Friday Fun.  Of course I think that digging into doctrine is fun, but I am just a nerd like that!  Have you ever had an experience as a mom when you said or did something that you NEVER thought you would?  It seems like I have been having a lot of things happen lately.  
-The scene looked like this.
We were 95% potty trained on the little potty but refused to go on the big potty and refused to go in a pull-up if we were away from home. We were at a restaurant and he said he needed to potty, so I took him to the bathroom to see if we could overcome the fear of the big potty.  He was dancing around so I knew he really needed to go.  He screamed when I tried to sit him on the potty and it was way too tall for him to try and stand. I looked to the right of the potty and there was a trash can that was just the right height.  Yep.  I did it.  I let him pee pee in the trash can.  Since then, he thought standing up was cool and we are 100% little potty free.  Go figure.
-The conversation goes a little bit like this.  
D: “Look mom, a booger.”  

Me: “I see that buddy.  We don’t need to put our finger in our nose, but since you did, go   ahead and put it in the trash.”

D: “Okay momma, that’s a great idea.”  

Me: (I see him walk away and put the booger in his ear!) “D- we do not put our finger in our nose and we do NOT put boogers in our ears!”
Seriously, we have had this conversation more times than I want to admit! What in the world made him think that is where they go?????
So, tell me your story!  What have you said or done that you never in a million years thought you would ever do?

  1. Dad and I really enjoyed this post. Since we were present at the restuarant for the first story, you forgot to say that he came running back to the table yelling, "I did it!"
