Dude-worthy Snipits

A few noteworthy dude stories for a random Tuesday night.

...Out to dinner at Spaghetti Factory with the Jansen/Syers clan last weekend while we were in Vegas...Dude guzzles a big cup of chocolate milk, a big plate of spaghetti and downs another glass of chocolate milk. No breathing here folks. He polishes off milk in under 12.3 seconds per cup. Brady does the same. Dude looks at Aunt Cara, starts turning a pale shade of green and says, "I gotta burp Cara." 2 seconds later he upchucks, all over the joint. 3 minutes later, Brady says, "My tummy hurts Mom." Brady then proceeds to upchuck all over the joint. Dinner is now done. Finished. Check please! They were both good as new 2 minutes after the commotion was over. Can't say the same for the Spaghetti Factory.

How can I stay mad at my darling child when our moments of discipline go something like this...."Don't yell at Mommy when I sing with you. Mommy can sing too and that's not nice to yell at Mommy." Said with a very serious face, slight head tilt and eyes looking up at me..."Mommy, I'm SO sorry and I love you SO much. Are you so happy now Mommy?" "No, Mommy is not so happy." 30 seconds later..."Are you a so happy Mommy NOW?" I respond with a joyful, "Yes, I am SO happy" because if I say anything less, he'll continue to ask the happy question every 30 seconds until he's convinced.

"Where Daddy Mom? Daddy at work? Daddy work at the zoo. Daddy take cool white race car to the zoo."

Sesame Street was having technical difficulties yesterday, causing the screen to get fuzzy every now and then. Later in the day he says, "Mommy, go to store to buy batteries." "For what buddy?" "For Sesme Street. It's broken today."

Our new favorite phrase (don't ask me where it came from). "Look at that little guy!" "Who's dat little guy?" "That little guy so cute."

Everything these days has a "house." A hair on his finger, "Mommy put dis hair in the hair's house please." "Wipe up dese crumbs Mommy. Put dem in the crumbs house." "Wylan has itchy nose! Go to your house naughty itchy nose!"

While driving around with Dad. "Daddy look! It's a white car with a yellow hat on top!" "Ok dude." "Look Daddy!" Sure enough. The Nappa Auto Parts car drives by sporting a huge yellow hard hat perched on top.
