While there, I thought I would stock up on some feminine hygiene goods since we're headed out of town this weekend and next. As we're approaching the end of the toothbrush/toothpaste isle, Tanner yells out, "Look mommy, Pink Band-aids! Can we get some?" To which I reply, "Don't worry son, mommy is definitely getting pink band-aids." And he refused to put down my package of pads until we checked out.
As we are rounding the corner, Ryan is looking at nose-hair clippers, as someone apparently placed miracle grow up his nose and tiny scissors just aren't cutting it anymore, Tanner spots the Tums. While holding my pink band-aids, he exclaims, "Mommy, can I have canny?" I quickly explain to him that that medicine is for mommies having babies in their tummies, and that those mommies, like our friend Stevie, is pregnant." Tanner is pretty quick and says in a kind-of sad voice, "Mommy? My tummy hurts. I have a baby in it." Yeah, right! Maybe you should just eat your dinner, kiddo.
And to top it all off, we head to the back of the store to pick up some baby finger-nail clippers, because we can't seem to hold onto a pair for more than three months and my boys need clipped almost weekly, if not more. As I'm dragging Tanner and Ryan is being a good sport pushing the cart behind us, Tanner sees this cute teenage girl (maybe she was 17-ish) wearing daisy dukes and a spaghetti strap tank. As she approaches us with who I assume was her mother, Tanner opens his mouth once again, with a, "Mom. (matter-of-factly) That girl is nekkid!" Finger pointing and wide-eyed. I had to literally pick up my chin off the floor and dash around the corner and pretend I didn't hear what my son practically yelled at this poor girl. I don't know, maybe she was poor and couldn't afford any more fabric to cover herself with, but I wasn't about to correct Tanner on that one! He pretty much nailed that one.

And seriously, I'll get some pictures of my hair up, but I am just tuckerd out tonight. I haven't really taken any, but this weekend, maybe I will. Rest assured, I like it curly. I'll try it straight on Wednesday and THAT will be the test!

I was brushing my teeth while reading this and burst out laughing! Then my roommate came over to read see what was so funny, and well, we both had a good laugh! Thanks for sharing this with us all! ♥ you to bits! Can't wait to see you this weekend! We should make a Walmart run ;) lol
ROFL! Thanks Deanna!
Oh the last one. Love it - kids are great, aren't they?! LOL.
Totally awesome! Kids say the darnest things!
Say it like it is, Tanner! LOL
Who would have thought a trip to WalMart could be so much fun!! HUGS
It's so funny how our kids seem so similar!! The other day we were at a hotel swimming and a girl comes in, in a bikinni and Andrew yells..."she's immodest!" It's funny trying to teach them about modesty without them seeming judgemental but they are still young and innocent and quite frankly they tell it how it is!!!
too too funny. deanna, you are pretty much the coolest mom i know! :)
oh my heavens, those are all hilarious!!! he is one clever little boy...haha
Thanks for the laugh! I love the music on your blog, it is awesome.
That is hilarious! And to be honest I am actually kind of jealous. My kids don't usually say the darndest things when we are out. Pink band-aids...I don't think I will ever get over that one!
