That’s What I Said?

The friends of mine with kids will know exactly what I am talking about. The ones that are expecting kids, this is fair warning.

As Tori is getting older and repeating EVERYTHING these days, we are paying closer attention to what we actually say. Because of this, we are paying closer attention to what we say … and sometimes it is down right wrong sounding. We have found that there are a lot of things that you say when talking to a child of limited vocabulary, that sometimes sound just plain dirty. Half the time I am expecting Michael Scott to jump out from around the corner and scream “That’s what she said!” Sometimes Mrs. Voices takes care of that for me. You can’t argue that some the things you say to a kid would have an entirely different meaning to most adults who think The Hangover and Borat are funny. Here are some examples:

• Stop playing with your button.
• Stop pulling on that.
• Get your finger out of there!
• Let me look in your pants.
• Did you rub that all in your hair?
• You have to hold it straight up and down when you suck.
• Baby girl, you are all sticky.
• Take that out of your mouth.
• You don’t want to taste daddy’s cheese?
• Put your balls away.

 

These are just a few that I have caught myself saying lately. Parents out there, please let me know some of the good ones that you have said and then thought “Did I just say that?”

Dead Celebrities

 

I have totally gotten lazy since Alex was born, at least on the blogging front … no, on every front. I come home and I want to crash and/or play with the kids and/or eat. Yeah, lame excuses but that’s all I got. Trying to get Mrs. Voices to occasionally write but she is chicken. Here are the dead guys for Aug. Again because of the lazy factor, the list is rather short as I wasn’t paying attention fully during the month.

I guess I need to look at my stats more often. I know since I haven’t been posting a whole lot I have been averaging like no views per day. The other day I popped up to over 800! Not sure why. Maybe people were looking for my dead folks that I never delivered. If so. I say sorry to all my death junkies!
