Things I actually said today Part 2

#1 Please stop putting hairbrushes in the potty.

#2 Yes, mommy's cleavage DOES look like a tunnel. Thank you for pointing that out in public.

#3 No, no, no! No cars in the potty!

#4 (While wearing a "Tinkerbell gone bad" outfit for Halloween) Well, I agree, I AM a Princess and don't EVER forget it!

#5 What do you mean I'm not pretty and I'm not cool? You're 2! What do you know?

#6 NO TOOTHBRUSHES IN THE POTTY!

I've been replaced

My (almost) 3 year old has been attached at the hip to “Lightnin Keen” (aka Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars) for a few months now. He eats, sleeps, breathes, walks, rides in the car with, and carries Lightnin Keen EVERYWHERE. While in the car, he jabbers incessantly about Lightnin Keen and that he is red and “hoho” (rojo, Spanish for red), and that he is blue in some parts of the movie, and that he has eyes, and that he can talk, but in a VERY important voice, he reminds me that cars can’t really talk. On and on and on this goes. The other day, during one of these jabbering sessions, he finished with:

“Mommy, Mommy!”
“Yes, Baby”
“Lightnin Keen is my Girlfriend”

(Crickets chirping)

How do you respond to that? He used to call ME his girlfriend (and that’s a little weird), but Lightnin Keen? Oh boy, I don’t know what’s stranger. But it’s still cute and I can’t WAIT to remind him that he said this when he is about 15 years old!

So Halloween night, when you see me walking around holding a blonde headed boy's hand that is wearing a (drum roll) Lightnin Keen costume, just know, I’ve been replaced by my little boy’s new girlfriend. None other than Lightnin Keen.
