Megan and her Michellism's

So I have this friend Michelle who is totally the funniest person I know, she has all these saying that just crack me up well my youngest daughter who is 3 has decided that she wants to be just like Michelle. It all started about a month ago when we were in Best Buy standing in line we had the following discussion which had me in stitches....

Megan: I want McDonalds for dinner.
Mom: Baby were not going to to McDonalds.
Megan: Where are we going?
Mom: Oh we're going crazy thats where we're going.
Megan: NO! We cant eat crazy!

It just came out of the blue noone provoked this conversation she just stood there in the shopping cart with this look like you cant fool me mom she just floored me and had me laughing.

A few days later we were at home and I was praising her for being a big girl and using the potty and she just looked at me and said " You're freaking me out!" So now I know dont praise her for going potty it freaks her out .... thanks sweetie.

Then there's tonight .... lets set the scene for you its me and my husband and my 2 daughters here at home tonight were getting them ready for bed things are going well no fits, no pleading for just 5 more minutes Im thinking this is gonna be an easy night HA guess that was my first mistake. We are up stairs tucking them in hugs kisses see you in the morning I love you goodnight we are outta there. Hubby and I get down stairs sit down on the couch and barely get the TV on when what do we hear the pitter patter of 3 year old feet NOOOOO! So she drinks her water and its time for to go back to bed and low and behold she has to come up with something to make us laugh just to get more time out of bed. Heres what transpired for the next 15 minutes.

Daddy: Megan its time to go back to bed.
Megan: I cant my legs are broken.
Mommy: Broken? How did they get broken?
Megan: Michelle did it.
Mom & Dad: Laughing - Why on earth would miss Michelle break your legs?
Megan: Just cause
Mommy: Well ok Ill have to talk to her about that - but its still time for bed lets go.

Back down stairs I go and right on my heels is a 3 year old who has to go potty now remember dont praise her for going just ignore her.

Mommy: Megan go to bed
Megan: I cant my legs are broken
Mommy: No they arent you walked down here all on your own.
Megan: Yes they are.
Mommy: Lets go

Taking her by the hand back to bed she screams you just broke my hand .... I managed to keep the laughing in as I put her bed .... guess shes dreaming of new ways to get 15 more minutes tomorrow.

Welcome to bloggers world. I'm happy to influnce your children.

I realized the reason Korbins getting so smart alec-y.....it's all my fault. So do I stop being so witty and funny or do I try to teach him the whole time and place thing?

Hi Brandy! I just popped over after your comment on my letter to my daughter popped up in my email. Now I'm excited to be your second comment on your very first blog entry! Welcome to the blogverse. You'll find it a warm and friendly place.

Your Megan sounds like a hoot. You are definitely in for a fun run with her!

Michelle sounds like a hoot, too. And since I'm guessing that the army brats boys' mom is Michelle, HI to you, too! LOL! I'd handle your problem two ways - watch who you say what in front of and, when they are old enough to get it, teach them "the whole time and place thing." ;o)

Nothing worse than having one of the little cuties spout a major oopsy in front of the wrong person at the wrong time! LOL!

Hi, Brandi! I found my way here through Damama's blog. Isn't three a fun age? Megan and my Baby Bear would probably get along great.

Oops! I'm so sorry, Brandy, I spelled your name wrong! I should know better. My fingers just went on autopilot.

By the way, I was thinking about the Michellisms and there are only a couple things I say regularly:

You're freakin me out!

Who does/says that?

Not so much.

The rest is just randomly spewed from my mouth at any opportunity I find right? There's not any others that say regularly right Brandy? Hell I don't know.

Whats in your bowl?
