Seven Peas in a Pod: I saw Mommy...WHAT???

I saw Mommy...WHAT???

Just look at that sheepish grin!

In my second grade Christmas concert (am I allowed to say that?) one of the songs we sang was "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." While we sang the song, the parents chuckled and nudged each other and I couldn't help feeling like I was missing out on some private joke. I didn't like it. I didn't like it one bit!

And now, as an adult, I still don't get it! I mean, I would never do that to Gary! Honestly, kissing and tickling some man who is not my husband, so matter how jolly, and yes, perhaps even charming he may be, would be inexcusable! And, not to mention Mrs. Claus! I just imagine her waiting up all night for Santa, warming up the hot chocolate and mixing up a batch of his favorite cookies, while he's out wooing women (mothers, no less) under the mistletoe! Tragic.

And "what a sight it would have been if Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night?" What kind of a sick joke!? What a sight indeed!

And, don't even get me started on "Santa Baby." Scandalous.

lindsey v said...: I was thinking that same thing when I heard that on the radio the other day. I think it was the Jackson 5 version and he said, "and I'm gonna tell my dad!" Talk about confusing for kids!; December 12, 2008 at 12:12 PM
Matt and Mandy said...: Haha, you are too funny! Maybe Santa's a rich old guy, some women are into that. :) We don't hang mistletoe, that avoids the whole situation, as well as the confusion if Daddy and Santa were to walk under (by accident) together ;); December 12, 2008 at 1:46 PM

Cute post!; December 15, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Heather S. said...: You crack me up. Apparently Santa can be a pretty frisky fellow. My friend sat on his lap over the weekend and got quite the surprise from his wandering hands. I'm glad you're having none of it though. Good for you.; December 15, 2008 at 10:41 PM

Our Little Sweet Peas

Every time Spencer goes to the bathroom, he has to say "good-bye" as he flushes. Every time he says, "Good-bye peep! Have a good day! See ya soon!"

Ben: Mom, do tornadoes ever get dizzy?

The boys were helping me bring in groceries one day and one of the plastic bags had a hole in it and then one of the handles broke off of it. I asked Andrew to throw it away and he looked at the bag and very seriously said, "This bag has been passed on for generations!"

I gave Ryan a big hug one day and he said, "Don't squeeze my tummy too tight. It gives me asthma."

Ben: "Mom, you're funny. You tricked me lots of times tomorrow."

One day Spencer was dipping a cookie in milk and he said, "The cookie is swimming in a milk. It needs swimming suit."

Spencer: "Cari! Cari! Cari!" (Pronounced Kiwi)
Cari: Yes?
Spencer: "Cari, are you Kiffy?"

Whenever I see Ben doing the potty dance like crazy all over the room and I tell him to go to the bathroom, he says, "I don't have to go, that's how I exercise."

Ben got in the bath and said, "It is seriously (surrussly) wet in here!"

Andrew: I just wrote an eight in cursive!!

Ben: We don't have any blood in us, just cereal.

Ryan was so excited to eat something he hadn't eaten in "1,000 years" and Andrew said, "1,000 years? You weren't even born 1,000 years ago and Mom was only, like, 2!"

Ben didn't want to get dressed again after going to the bathroom, so he headed for the door (naked) and announced, "I'm going to take a bath in the raindrops!"

Andrew: How do they make square paper out of circle trees?

Ryan calls the fly swatter That Bug Snapper. (I always called it the flice water.)

Ryan: "Mom, you are so good at making toast!"

The other day, Andrew and Ryan were playing a little too rough. Ryan got hit in the head with a light saber and started to cry. Andrew comforted Ryan by reassuring him that he was only "crying for joy."

According to Ryan, Chewbacca on Star Wars is, "The Fluffy Guy."

Every morning after I take a shower, Ben asks me to draw pumpkins of various sizes on the mirror. Why pumpkins? I have no idea.

In his prayers the other night Ryan said, "And help me not to learn about Satan, 'cause I just don't like him."

Andrew and I were watching a show about volcanoes. He said, "Ya know what lava is?" I said,"What?" (because it sounded like he already had an answer) He said, "It's a giant's big ol' cup o' juice."

Ryan: "Mom, if we have another baby, can we name him or her Freckles?"
Mom: "Why that name?"
Ryan: "Because I just think it's a nice name."
