Never Cease to Amaze Me

Sometimes my kids cease to amaze me in the things they know and I often wonder where they have learned some of the things they know.

Here are just a couple of those fun moment that I have recently experienced with my kids.

Last week I was watching Dancing with the Stars (a show I sometimes watch/sometime don't), anyway out comes one of the professional dancers and my husband says, who is she, she is smoking....

Luke says to me: Mommy, I know the second part of that.
Me: What are you talking about?
Luke: I know the second part of what daddy said.
Me: What do you mean? (obviously I am clueless)
Luke: She is smoking, smoking hot!

Yes, my seven year old knows the phrase smoking hot. Seriously, where did he learn this.


Luke loves to play with my scanner. He can scan and print things with out ever accessing the computer. This is a killer on my ink since he will scan just about anything. The other day he tells his dad he can print money. Daddy explains to him that no he can't.

Luke: I can scan it and print it.
Daddy: No you can't, that is illegal. You will get in trouble.
Luke: Money doesn't have a TM on it so I can.

How does a seven year old know and understand Trade Marks? Like I said, they never cease to amaze me. Side note, I think he now understand that he can not make money.


Daddy turns on the TV for Thomas to watch cartoons and an exercise program is on.

Daddy: Do you want to watch this? (daddy teasing him)
Thomas: No that is a mommy show.

I guess this child has seen me working out a few to many times. I am just shocked he is paying this much attention.

I have to say I never know what to expect in my house. I will say my kids can always bring a laugh or two.


Side note: for all you mommies with little ones. I get a parenting newsletter via email and this week has to do with this past years baby product recalls. If you want to see the current list (long list) and keep yourself informed follow this link to Baby Center.
