As a mother, I often find myself saying the oddest things. Like they aren't odd in meaning but they sound wrong. I am completely sure other mothers out there know what I mean when I say this. Today, I went to the grocery store alone (hallelujah!) to pick up a few things. Cop Dad and Little Buddy picked up dog food at the pet store and then ate lunch at home together. Upon returning home, Cop Dad assure me that Little Buddy ate and was not hungry anymore. Ha! Not sure what it is about mommy, but I always make the kid demand food the minute he sees me.
Little Buddy: Hiiiiiiiiiii! Mommy!
Me: Hi Little Buddy! I missed you, were you a good boy?
Little Buddy: Yes mommy.
Me: Were you a good boy for daddy?
Little Buddy: Yes, good boy. Cheese please mommy! Cheese please mommy! Cheese please mommy!
Me: You want cheese? Just a minute. (Then I headed to the sink to wash my grubby grocery store hands so I could get him some cheese).
Little Buddy: (He walks over to the sink and looks up at me and at my hands as I wash them). Mommy, what doing?
Me: I am washing my hands so that I can cut the cheese for you. (Chuckle quietly to myself).
I don't think it's hysterical really but some times the words just come out of my mouth and make complete sense but really sound either bad or funny. Sometimes, Little Buddy insists on me playing with him and I have something to do. Then he says, "Mommy play with me!" To which I have often remarked quite plainly, "No, you go play with yourself for a little while and I'll play with you later." Not sure if I many of you experience this often or it makes you laugh but when I have mentioned it to my mom friends they laugh and admit it happens to them all the time. Guess, it's all we moms have to amuse ourselves sometimes. Ain't motherhood grand?

hahhhahhaa love it! and yes the things we say and than we chuckle to ourselves while the kids just stare at us like what the heck!
The moment i walk in from that grocery store I have to wash my hands also,yucko!!
HAHa he was probably thinking why mommy thinks cheese is funny.I remember when I was prego I had the giggles.When I couldn't sleep at night I would go turn the tv on and they were playing the George Lopez comedy special. I laughed til I cried.My hubby woke up to see what was so funny!lol one of my xmas gifts that year were tickets to his live show at the nokia theater!Im so excited your big day is almost here!
I can relate all too well. Sometimes I find innuendos in little books I read to my son, but I just tell myself to get my head out of the gutter and move on.
I definitely think it's the only way we can amuse ourselves during the sahm routine! It was worse when I was pregnant too. I think it was to balance out the pregnancy pains.
