I sometimes believe that there are things, like being blunt, that are genetic.
I just don’t believe Alex can have such a great talent for being concise, direct, or blunt without some help from his DNA. It makes him, to pick a word, hilarious. To illustrate, I’ve outlined a few stories.
————————————————————
Alex and I are laying in bed. I’m begging him to fall asleep. To encourage this, I tell him to cuddle an imaginary version of my sister’s dog, Kramer.
Me: Alex, hold Kramer close. Snuggle him until he falls asleep. He needs you to be very quiet and still so he can fall asleep.
Alex: OK mom! You cuddle Kelso (their other dog).
Me: OK, sounds good. Good night.
[momentary silence]
[Alex shoots straight up in bed]
Alex: Oh no! Kramer’s gone! I lost him!
Me: Where did he go?
Alex: I put him in the garbage. He’s dead.
————————————————————-
Me: ….7,8,9,10. Ready or not, here I come!
Me: Where’s Alex?
Alex: I’m under the blanket.
Me: Is he in the closet?
Alex: I’m under the blanket.
Me: Is he under the couch?
Alex: I’m UNDER the BLANKET!
Me: Is he behind the counter?
Alex: I’M UNDER THE BLANKET!!
Me: Oh, there he is! He was under the blanket!
————————————————————
Alex: I wear underwear and mommy wears underwear and Evan wears diapers and daddy wears underwear and Nana wears underwear. Everyone wears underwear! But not Lauren and Jason. A dog stole theirs.
————————————————————-
Me: Hey, Alex, do you have to go to the bathroom?
Alex: Hmmm, maybe tomorrow.
————————————————————-
(Out of the clear blue sky)
Alex: Mommy, you’re my sweetheart
————————————————————-
Alex: I peed.
I happen to have born with the gift of a blunt delivery myself. It gets me in a lot of trouble, but saves a lot of time.
Hahahaha!!! I love Alex-isms.
So funny! The boy has a talent!
Hahahaha. Love his mind.
Bahahaha! I’m UNDER THE BLANKET!
Lol! I almost missed, “I peed.”
He cracks me up. And I wasn’t even there to actually hear these things.
Haha! Clearly his DNA makes him super awesome. Obviously.
He IS hilarious. Kids can really crack me up.
Bahahaha! Love these!
I love the bluntness of some children. So funny!
I just hope Alex wasn’t under the blanket when he peed.
(Also, watch out for your underwear. I hear there’s a canine black market on the rise…)
YES! Hide and go-seek is exactly like that at our house! Before you even start counting, Chalupa will tell you EXACTLY where he’ll be.
Oh, Alex, such a big boy with your undies.
