Parenting FAIL: The Conversation Edition

Peyton - Why is my poo green? Yesterday it was yellow. I have RAINBOW butt!

Nathaniel - Ohhh! You said the word you said I couldn’t say even if I was on fire.

Rachael - What do you call that? *poke poke*
Me - Muffin top
Rachael - You might need to lay off the muffins, mom

Me - I wish you listened better
Peyton - I wish you said better stuff

Nathaniel - MY new room will be a girl-free zone!
Me - I’m a girl, am I going to be banished from your room?
Nathaniel - No way, you do my laundry, you can come up any time.
Me - *sigh*

Peyton - I didn’t know your boobs have eyes!

Me in McDonalds - If you make that clicking noise one more time I’m going to have them cut out your tongue, deep fry it and serve it on a bun with special sauce and THEN? You have to eat it!
McDonald’s Employee - *extremely dirty look*

Me - Soooo, what did you think of getting to spend the whole weekend with your cousins? (Teenage cousins that my kids are just getting to know)
Rachael - They like boys!
Me - That’s it? THAT is what you learned about your cousins?
Rachael - Well, they…they…yeah, they like boys.

Nathaniel - Chowder (a cartoon character) has MAN-Boobs!

Peyton - Were we born in order of age?

Nathaniel - Can I have a Facebook account?
Me - Nope
Nathaniel - Why not?
Me - Because I want you to have a chance at being a useful member of society?
Nathaniel - But YOU have one
Me - I’ll let you figure that one out on your own
