First, there are the things I say that aren’t always so cute when coming out of a preschoolers mouth.
I ask: “Taylor, can you come here please?”
He says: “In a minute, I’m a little busy right now.”
Or like when he fell the other day and he yelled: “Ding it!” (I think he meant “Dang it.”)
And then there’s the whole Bradley thing. Where he got “Annoying Dog,” or “Bradley, get away,” or even “Arrrrgh, Bradley!!!!” is beyond me.
But then he says things that are super cute like today when he spilled his cup of blueberries. He came running in and said, “Mom come here right now!” I followed him out to the playroom to see the mess. Then he turned to me and said, “I do not like this problem that I have at all. Not at all!”
Or tonight when I took him out for some special mommy & Taylor time. We were at Ross (again, yes. Hey, special time is about the bonding more than where we are….) I couldn’t find the particular shoes I was looking for and must have been complaining out loud, because he grabbed my arm and looked up at me and said, “Mom, isn’t it such a bummer? Man, it’s such a bummer that sometimes they don’t have what you want.” Seriously. Word for word.
Then on the way home from Jamba Juice (Ross for me, Jamba for him) we were listening to the song, “Who Let the Dogs Out.” As soon as it came on the radio he yelled, “Mom, this is totally Dad’s favorite song. Totally totally his favorite.”
But then there’s this one phrase that he’s picked up, from where I don’t know, that I honestly hear several times a day.
I say: “Taylor, it’s time to pick up your toys.”
He says: “But mom, I’m feeling a little sick right now. I think I might actually throw up. And I could throw up all over my toys. So, I probably shouldn’t do that right now.”
Or, the other day it was:
I said: “Can you feed Chloe for a minute while I finish something up?”
He said: “I might throw up. And I might throw up all over her.”
I wonder if I’d get away with using that?
“Not tonight honey, I might throw up alllll over you and the bed. So, I probably shouldn’t do that right now.”
“Cook dinner? Oh no, I’m sick and I might throw up in the food. So, no cooking for me.”
Oh, wait. It’s not about me today. Old habits…
Anyway, he’s a handful, but he makes me laugh.

very cute! the things that come out of their mouths are pretty astonishing! i love how your quality time involves shopping.
LMAO
Hilarious…I am SO stealing that from him.
Mr Jay, would you please remember to bring payment for your daughter’s daycare? You are several weeks behind.
Sorry, but I feel kinda sick today. I might throw up on the check, so no money today, ok? And no late fees, please, I might throw up on them.
AWESOME post, Summer…LOVED it.
Jay
He is so flippin cute!!!!
so cute!!! and now they are all written down and you will be able to remind him he said all those some day… i like the last one, too… im totally totally going to borrow that!!!
He is so cute and funny. When my 2 year old wants out of his car seat, he says “I need to throw up”. It worked for his sister (who was sick) so he thought he would try it. I just know one day he really will and I will feel like a moron.
So Crazy Cute! I have one of them myself and understand!
Love what kids have to say! It’s usually adorable. But have you ever noticed that if they are going to say something embarrassing it always has to happen at the grocery store, while you are standing in line, and everyone around you can hear it?! Man that’s embarrassing!
I’m gunna try that out. Can’t push you on the swings might throw up on you. AJ would be like “just push me until you throw up and then you can stop”.
Love your blog! Girl after my own heart…kids, shopping, and reality shows. I have a 4yr old that I shake my head head at most of the time because of the silliness that comes out of her mouth. What a cutie you have!
When our son was younger, he didn’t threaten that he might throw up, he just did it. Anytime and anywhere.
I started thinking that carrying airline barf bags was a normal part of fatherhood.
Thank heavens he outgrew it eventually.
what a cutie patootie! That pic at the end is adorable!!
haha That is fantastic! I think I might try that excuse out sometime…very clever!
Man, I love that kid… 🙂
omg but he’s so cute!
This has to be your BEST POST EVER!!!!!! I love it!!! You sound like a great mom who appreciates the depth and wisdom and logic of your son!
Obviously, he takes after you, wise one!
I just LOOOOOOVED this post! I just had a big smile on my face the whole time. I just love kidisms like this and these were excellent! thanks so much for sharing…I really enjoyed this!
I absolutely love hearing the funny stuff that kids say. The first throw up one about throwing up on his toys made me laugh outloud. What an articulate kid, and SO cute. 🙂
OK, I am SO using the throw up line. Thanks1
