[Coexist]

So my son had a health scare last week, and was given happy drugs to take his pain away. While on a fresh dose, he came up with three different versions of Mary Had a Little Lamb, and asked me if I wanted to hear them. I said 'sure'. He said "ok, but the first one is sad."

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb!
Mary had a little lamb, and it died.

Yeah, I cracked up....

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands . It was very busy, with a full dining room.
While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny,
so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean.
Then realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while.
I asked him if he needed to go, and he said 'No'.
I kept thinking
'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.'
Then I said,'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?'
'No,' he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because th e smell was getting worse.
Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny did you have an accident ? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks
and yelled 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing,
he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better,
thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

I read that before Guardian...made me laugh then too!

I already posted somewhere about how I had always told my kids when they were very small McDonald's food was bad for them, emphasizing how much by saying, that food will kill you!, then one day being in a really hard pressed time crunch I whipped into McDonalds to feed my two wee ones (my daughter wasn't even born yet) and my son Jordan, all of 3 years old said in the saddest voice...Mommy? Don't you love us anymore?

I didn't get the context til I answered of course I do, why would you even ask that question? "Because you are going to McDonalds and you said this food would kill us"

OOOOPS. I guess I didn't remember to tell them if they eat there too often! Poor kid was afraid of a Happy Meal. And here I thought my kids were so amazing because they didn't beg for me to pull in to McDonalds every time we went past it any longer.

The irony? Both my sons ended up working at McDonalds in high school.
