Celebrating the Savage, Hilarious, Disgusting and Adorable World of Little Boys

Clearly Daddy and I need to start using more code words

Milo: “Mommy, guess what you are?”
Me: “Um, your mother?”
Milo: “No.”
Me: “A stellar role model?”
Milo: “No.”
Me: “A scintillating conversationalist?”
Milo: “No.”
Me: “An international super spy?”
Milo: “No. Give up?”
Me: “Yep.”
Milo: “You’re SEXY!”
Me: “Oh, really?”
Milo: “YEAH! … What does sexy mean?”

Not sure if this was a misheard word or a really quick recovery

I’m drying Milo off after his bath…

Milo: “Ow! Careful with my nut crack!”
Me: “… Milo, did you just say ‘nut crack?'”
Milo: “Yeah.”
Me: “……”
Milo: “What? That’s where I crack nuts! I just stick them between my legs and go ‘Grrr!’ and they crack.”
Me: “……”
Milo: “Seriously, Mom. That’s what happens.”

On crossing the bar

Milo: “Mommy, when am I going to die?”
Me: “Hopefully not for a long, long, long, long time.”
Milo: “And then I’ll go to heaven.”
Me: “Yep, and I’ll be there waiting for you and I’ll say, ‘Hey Milo! Great to see you again buddy!”
Milo: “And I’ll ask for milk. Yeah. Definitely milk.”
Me: “… milk?”
Milo: “Yeah, ’cause heaven’s far away and I’ll be really thirsty.”

A typical car conversation

Morris: “Mommy?”
Me: “Yes?”
Morris: “Where’s my Mommy?”
Me: “Uhhh, I’m up here in the front seat driving the car you’re riding in.”
Morris: “Where’s my Daddy?”
Me: “He’s at the library, working.”
Morris: “Where’s my Milo?”
Me: “He’s sitting in the passenger seat beside you.”
Milo: “YEAH! With my elf shoes that are really ninja choppers. Shing! Shing! Shing!”

Can’t please everyone all the time

Morris, for the 50th time this morning: “What we watching tonight, Mommy?”
Me: “The end of the Incredibles.”
Morris: “The Incedibles?”
Me: “That’s right. The Incredibles.”
Morris: “The InCEDibles?”
Milo: “YES, Morris! The Incredibles.”
Me: “Aren’t you happy to be watching the Incredibles tonight?”
Milo: “Yes.”
Morris: “No.”
Me: “What do you want to watch, Morris?”
Morris: “In-POOP-ibles! HA HA HA HA HA!”
