some ME time

Eliot and I are having a little conversation at bedtime.

Eliot: Mommy, can you get in your bed?

Me: No, I’m not getting in my bed right now.

Eliot: What are you going to do, Mommy?

Me: After you go to bed I take a little break from being Mommy, and I spend some time just being Kim.

Eliot: Okay. What are you going to do, Kim?

sense of humor

Eliot and I are in the doctor’s office waiting room. We’ve been there a while.

Eliot: Hey Mommy, knock knock!

Me: Who’s there?

Eliot: Aren’t you glad you’re not a banana anymore!?!?!?

hysterical laughter ensues

Me: …but that’s.. that’s not how…

Eliot: (interrupting) Okay, knock knock!

Me: Who’s there?

Eliot: Doctor

Me: Doctor Who?

Eliot: Doctor SCHMOCTOR!

More hysterical laughter, from several corners of the waiting room

Here are some of the ones that didn't make the final cut.

Last Night's Sing a Long

We were singing "Santa Clause is Coming to Town". We got to the part about, "you better not pout." Eliot stopped everything abruptly.
Eliot: Wait! WAIT! It's "PAT" not "POUT", Mommy.
Mommy: No, I'm pretty sure it's "pout". I don’t think Santa would mind if you "pat"”.
Eliot: What's pat?
Mommy: (patting his head) That's patting. I'm patting your head.
Eliot: What's pout?
Mommy: (sticking out bottom lip, crossing arms and putting on a great pouting voice) When you do like this and say, "I don't want to!"
Eliot: Or, "I don't like that!" or "don't be mad to me!" or "NOOOOO!"
