They Talk. I Laugh.

Now that the weather is better, I'm setting aside my hermit skills and I'm starting to take S and Z out for walks. This keeps them quiet and bewildered. S has never been outdoors for longer than three minutes for as long as she can remember. So the first time she stepped outside and I let her walk on grass, she was terrified. Z on the other hand is overly ambitious. He wants to go everywhere with everyone everyday. He asked if we could walk to Hamilton. What? 

Anyway, I completely just rambled about something entirely unrelated to what this post was initially about. 

These kids make me laugh, and I hope they'll make you laugh too. Enjoy! 

• Everyone has a different idea of what is considered "the first". I don't consider S singing 'Ice ice Baby' a real first sentence (see below). But this week, S actually said her first real sentence. She said, "Rhino eat patta(pasta).", then she finished it off with, "Ya. Nom Nom Nom" while feeding her toy Rhino a spaghetti string. My heart melted. She constructed her own adorable sentence. All by herself. 

• Z goes "Daddy goes to work, A [uncle] goes to work, Gedo goes to work....only boys go to work". Uh, what? I had to explain to him that what moms do IS work, and a lot of other moms/women work hard outside. I then asked him if S will work when she grows up, and he said yes, she'll be a mechanic. Okay then.   
• S was playing with an animal game on my phone and kept clicking the pig. So Z turns to her and says, "Pigs are haram, they're dirty" I find this hilarious because I didn't tell him this. He must've heard it at school. 
• We had someone over and was using the washroom. 

          Z: Where's J?
          Me: In the washroom
          Z: Is she pooing?
          Me: No, probably not. Let's not ask that question, she'd like her privacy.
          Z: She needs privacy to poo. Is she pooing?

• Z performed at a school spring concert. Before the performance, his teacher's daughter felt sick and vomited. I know this because Z told me. But what I didn't expect him to do the following morning was run up to his teacher and say this: 'Ms. S, your daughter is sick? She's sick! She threw up in the hallway and the green guy cleaned it up". The green guy was the janitor I'm guessing. This story normally wouldn't make it on this list of laughs, but it did because everyone's eyes shot at her daughter, and all the other parents held their children a little tighter. No one wanted her germs. Poor teacher had to defend her daughter "Yes, but she's all better now, Z!" 
• Z was watching a music video with Justin Timberlake. Near the end of the video Z started questioning.

          Z: Why is Justin upset?
          Me:  I don't know. Why do you think he's upset?
          Z: Because he wanted to go under the table.

• After the video was over, one of the suggested videos on the grid was Wrecking ball by Miley Cyrus. Of course Z clicked on it. 

          Z: Miley is crying
          Me: (at this point I was curious to see what he would make of this video. I know. Let's all say it together "BAD PARENT") Why is she crying?
          Z: Because she wanted the ball.
          Me: What will make her happy again?
          Z: To have the ball again.

Note: Z thought Miley Cyrus was a boy at first. Hair length makes gender identification very difficult for Z, especially now with trendy short hairstyles ladies are rocking these days. Sorry to the boys that were mistaken as girls, and to the girls that were called boys. Please accept my apologies on behalf of Z, who is completely oblivious to the fact that he's hurt quite of few feelings on the playground when referencing his fellow playmates' gender.
