Bedtime stories...

"Huddy, mom's really tired tonight. I need to go to bed now."
"You can go in two minutes."
"OK."
"Talk on this page, mom."
"This is Washington DC. Mom and dad gave you this book on your first birthday, right before we moved."
"Oh."
"Huddy, mom's really tired. I'm going to go, ok?"
"Two minutes."
"It's already been two minutes."
"Well, you read this book to me and then you go. Does that make sense?"
"Did you just ask me if that makes sense?"
"Yes."
"That's RICH, Hudson."
"I'm a funny kid."
<how?? how is he so awesome??>

Weekend zingers...

"Hudson, can I have a kiss?"
"No, mom, I can't. I'm too busy."












"Look, Hudson. This is how a sewing machine works."
"Fancy that!"
"WHAT?"
"Fancy THAT, Mom!"
<dad> "Hudson, what century are you from?"






<dad>"Hudson, what color was the big excavator we saw today?"
"The same color as the little one."

At the dinner table tonight...

"MOM! I have a peenus."

"You mean a weenie?"

"No, mom. I have a PEE-nus. Billy* has a peenus, too."

"WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT?"

"Dolly*."

"Oh. Hmm..."

"Lisa* has a VAGINA."

"WHAT??"

"Yea, Lisa has a vagina. Faye* has a boo boo on her vagina."

<too soon>

* All names have been changed to protect the innocent. And the totally guilty teacher who ruined my awesome track record with WEENIE.

On the way up to bed...

"MOM! MOM! Look at THAT!"

<points at the Beggarstaff poster on the wall in the stairwell>

"What do you see, Huddy?"

"That man has a WEENIE! He's PEEIN' from his WEENIE!"

"Really, Hudson? I thought that was a woman in a black dress."

"NO! That man is peein' from his weenie. He has a weenie and ballsies!"

<all of the Browns laughing out loud>

"Well, Hudson. We'll never look at THAT the same again. Thanks a lot."

"Huddy, look! They're milking a cow."

"Milk is coming out of that cow's bum, momma."

"Well... not exactly."

"Momma, look!"

"What do you see, Hud?"

"I see angry birds!"

"Um, Hudson? Those are regular birds. They're HAPPY birds."

<oy>

Pulling out of our spot after Friday night dinner...

<logan driving, car cuts us off>
"Thanks a LOT, asshole!"
"MOM! Daddy said thank you to that man."
"He did?"
"Yeah. A man is driving that car. Daddy said thank you."
<laughing>
"He DID say thank you, Huddy."
"That was nice, daddy. You're nice."

At bedtime tonight...

"Hey, Huddy, should we read the book that Uncle Scott and MF gave you?"
"Which book?"
"This book about poop."
"I want to poop on your face."
<sad look from mom>
"I sorry mom." <big fake smile>
<big real smile>
