The Things Kids Say

This week both of my kids have had me belly-laughing with the things they say.

Victoria found out about the monthly gift she will soon be given. When I told her it was a blessing she shouted, "I do NOT think it is a blessing! It is a GROSS, INAPPROPRIATE consequence!" She didn't even get mad at me for laughing ten-minutes straight.

Justice also had me cracking up when he began analyzing the phonemes in his name. First he demanded that I put another "s" in his name because "c" doesn't make the /s/ sound. Then he
yelled, "Momma, you spelled it wrong. It's opposed to be J-u-s-t-i-s!" Love that kid.

I always say we need to write a book with all the cute/funny/profound things kids say. I guess this blog is kind of my book.

The Taekwondo Class from ...

So Justice took a trial Taekwondo class. I am really looking for things to keep him busy, while allowing him to work on following directions and staying on task. This class, much like the soccer teams of our past, was humiliating for me. First of all, all 20 of the other kids were silently watching their "Master" and performing forward kicks. Not Justice, everytime the Master asked them to kick he yelled out, "Teacher, are we doing Karate now?" The Master ignored him everytime yet, Justice continuted to yell out the Karate question with every kick. Need I remind you, it was NOT a Karate class, it was Taekwondo!



Then he became fixated on the uniform. Because it was a trial class, he did not have one. After the first 5 minutes, he decided he really wanted one. With every activity he would yell across the gallery at me, "Momma, I want a white shirt." I would remind him he would get one the next time, and he would go back to what he was doing. Then the activity would change and he would call out to me again. Humiliating I tell you!



While I was able to brave through two seasons of soccer, we have not returned to the Taekwondo Class from...
