My Boys Are Difficult to Understand

Mr. 10: "Mom, when are you going to dye your hair again? It's getting really grey."

I hate it how they're so cryptic.

omg, lol! Kids, huh?

Marty, a.k.a. canape said...

Ouch.

I just found out I had gray hair when I went from blonde to brunette earlier this year. It was a shocker.

Terri@SteelMagnolia said...

Ahh haaa...
my oldest son used to remind me all the time that I needed to wax my mustache ... he did it when he was a little guy and he does it to this day...
geez.. I have blonde hair even!

NICE!

LMAO

Something that my son would say!

Kimberly said...

Crap...that stinks. My youngest likes to innocently point out my belly bulges and say "not that you're fat, Mom". Yeah. Hmmmm.

Queen of the Mayhem said...

Kids....they don't hold back.

Student: "Mrs. Queen....do you work out?"

Me: "Baby, do I look like I work out?"

Student: "No Ma'am."

Me: "Well, then there's your answer."

Little B*tch! :)

aiiighhh!

Luckily the few gray hairs I have are practically invisible to anyone but me.

Now the other stuff.....

That's so funny.

Oh my goodness! The thinks that come out of a child's mouth are amazing.

OhTheJoys said...

and subtle!

PunditMom said...

Yup. PunditGirl is "cyptic" like that, too!

"Mommy, you look so FANCY when you put on makeup!"

Peg said...

Oh, see, Mamma--it's just his sweet way of telling you that it's time you carved out some "me-time". A spa weekend away might be just the thing! ;D

Kellyology said...

I have "cryptic" children as well. It's especially evident when my daughter tells me, "I don't like you in the morning mom. You look better after you fix your hair." or "Mom, your breath STINKS!" Yeah, "cryptic."

Unknown said...

That's awesome. Maybe I'll start having my boy ask awkward questions of my wife, after which she will say it is "funny," rather than something like "go get me a lawyer."

OMG that is too funny! Kids! As I was getting dressed to help out with the 1st grade field trip last week, she came into the bathroom where I was putting on (minimal as usual) makeup. Eyed that, and my jeans (the non-ripped pair) and t-shirt and said, "You don't have to get dressed up, Mommy, it's just the museum." Didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
PS: read your post at Gunfighters...yay you, great job!
(BTW, my blog's back...I'm like a fungus!)

Nothing cryptic about it... you must need to dye ya hair! 10 year olds are lovely and honest, most of the time! I should know, I think , nahh I know... I've had 6 kids get to ten and older now, and only have two to get past that age... I don't think I have ever had that comment from one of my kids though! Nowdays, my grown up girls pluck out me grey hairs... bliss! hee hee he! Oh and "Hi" !

Stacey said...

My kids are the same way. Only their favorite topic is my uh...hind parts :(

My son B:Are you gonna loose that /

Me : What

B: Your big old booty.

Gotta love 'em , right...

Chicky Chicky Baby said...

Ouch! Just tell him that you'll stay gray if you want to and just for that quip you're going to eat all his snacks.

Tiffani Hill-Patterson said...

So observant, aren't they? :-)

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Love seeing new faces!
