Thank you fine Sir!

From the mouth of babes.  So Jacob and I went out on the town the other night and unfortunately were too late to catch our train home.  So albeit probably illegal I hailed a cab, buckled us together and off we went.  When we get to the front door of our building, Jacob turns around with the most sincere face and says 


"Daddy that was really nice of that man to share is car with us."...

Skidding out of control

While picking up Jacob from daycare he tells me "Mommy, I have skateboards in my underwear".
I asked him to clarify "skateboards? what do you mean?"
Jacob "skid marks"
Me "oh that's great, who told you that?"
Jacob "Miss Heather" (his teacher)
Apparantly he thought he crapped his pants and pointed to the stain in his underwear when Miss Heather told him, "no, you're okay Jacob, it's just a skid mark." He was satisfied with that response and was happy to tell everyone about his skid marks like it was a prize.

So nice of you to notice

Jacob has a keen eye for details. Some would classify this as OCD, but I think everyone has OCD about something.
Jacob "Mommy, I love your shirt"
Me "Thank you hunny"
Jacob "Let me see your nails", looking at my nails "why is there no color?", then looks at my toes - "I like your toe nails, what color is that?"
Me "purple" - though I could have said Essie "big spender" and he would have probably remembered.

Road rage

Jacob to me while driving in the car, "Mommy when I get big I'm going to drive and wave at other cars and say than you asshole".....oops

Balls

Jacob was feverish on and off this past weekend and was coughing up a storm. One night when it was particularly high I wanted to know if he had any pain. I opened my mouth for him and said "AH" so he could see my tonsils and referred to them as "balls". I asked Jacob if anything hurt when he coughed and he said "yes, it hurts all the way back to my balls" while pointing to the back of his throat.

Breakfast conversation

Me: "Jacob do you like your teachers at school?" Jacob: "Vaginas". Me: "No I said, do you like your teachers at school?" Jacob: "Girls have vaginas." Me: "That's right." Jacob: "And boys have penises." Me: "That's great honey, finish your cereal."

Changing the toilet paper will not cause brain damage


6am I hear "Mommy, there's a brown thing in the bathroom!" Oh for the love of god why can't this kid actually get it IN the toilet? After debating with Ryan about who's turn it is to get out of bed, he was not even remotely interested in checking out the "brown thing" in the bathroom.

I get up, one eye open finding my way to the bathroom not wanting to see what present he had left for me. I asked Jacob what he was talking about and he says pointing "Mommy, the brown thing!" while pointing to the cardboard at the end of the toilet paper roll. Like the other man that lives in my house, he had NO idea what to do with the toilet paper roll.

Following Freud - Part III

So apparently we've firmly entered the third phase of Freudian development.  While watching Thomas this morning I was distracted with Facebook only catching the tail-end of a comment.  "...moved my balls.".  So I looked around for some moved balls that I would inevitably have to retrieve from underneath the couch or other place unreachable.  But a quick survey showed no sign of balls so I asked him to repeat himself.  This time he stepped back on couch, hunkered over and said, "Daddy I moved my balls." which caused him to burst into a quick hysteric and a firm sac grab.

Prince Charming Marking hisTerritory

We live in a new sub-division so there are no fences between backyards yet. There were some young girls playing in the back yard wearing dress-up princess dresses, I think there was a Snow White and maybe a Cinderalla. Jacob walks up to the back door sporting a t-shirt and Thomas train undies and says “Mommy I need to go somewhere.” Me “Where do you need to go?” Jacob points outside “I need to go pee on the tree.”

Real smooth J-man… I’m sure the princesses-in-training would love to watch you relieve your bladder on the tree while they run around waiting for their prince to rescue them.

Gummy Bears

Jacob as he's eating gummy bears goes up to Ryan and proudly states "daddy, this is yummy shit!"

Lake Water Hydration


Driving up to the cottage I ask Jacob if he’s going to swim in the lake, here’s how the conversation goes:

Me “Jacob, are you going to go swimming in the lake?”

Jacob “I’m going to drink the lake”

Ryan “Fish shit in that water”

Jacob “Fish shit in the water???”

Ryan “That’s right, the water is yucky”

Jacob “It’ not yucky, it’s yummy!”

Another Road-Side Attraction



Three hours into a long drive up North to the cottage and urgent little voice beckons from the backseat “I have to go poooooooo!!!!!!!!!!” Kids usually wait until they’re turtling to even entertain the thought of going to the bathroom so we pulled over to let him go on the side of the road.

This being the first time Jacob shat somewhere other than in the potty or in his pants made it pretty entertaining to begin with, so did the fact that he let the turd land on the gravel while standing completely erect. As he studied his work of art closely he exclaimed “look, corn got on my poo!”

The Elusive Penis Donut


I know….WTF is a penis donut?

The first time Jacob threw this gem out there I had nothing to say. He was relieving himself on his froggy-potty while I was doing the same on the big potty. He points to my va-jay-jay and says “that’s your penis donut!” After a long pause, I had to ask him to repeat himself so I asked “what did you just say?” With a big smirk on his face like he had just said a bad word he repeated it “penis donut.” We ran through this scenario a few times and he never was able to disclose where he learned this lovely term.

Maybe he crafted the “penis donut” on his own, in which case we have a genius on our hands and should strongly reconsider an over-priced private school. Not for so-called superior education, but purely for the entertainment value when we get a phone call from his snotty teacher telling us he was pointing out the penis donuts of his uppity princess female classmates.
