When you were my age?

Lately William has been asking about what Andy and I did when we were kids. Here is one particularly funny convo.

William: "Mom did you have a DSI when you were my age?"
Me: "Nope but I did get a Nintendo for Christmas."
William: "What's a Nintendo?"
Me: (rolling my eyes) "Sort of like a Wii, just 20 years ago."
William: "Oh, I bet you didn't have Sonic."
Me: "Nope, just Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Zelda"
William: "Well that's just sad."
Me: "No its sad that you can't just have fun playing outside on your bike or hide and go seek!"
William: "You're crazy."

Expelliarmus

Yesterday Matthew came in with the end of William's light saber and pointed it at me and said "EXPELLIARMUS!" He is a FUNNY kid! With the end of the Harry Potter era coming to an end this week, I have been very excited and talking about it, so the boys have picked up on my excitement!!

What are those?

At William's baptism on Saturday Matthew was sitting with me and he was being really annoying and loud then he looks at my chest and says, "What are those?' pointing to my boobs. I say,"They are boobs, only mommies have them and they are private, you don't touch." Then he says, "I want boobs."

Scarf

I have a chicken pock scar right above my right eye by my eyebrow. Yesterday Matthew was climbing all over me and suddenly stopped and looked at my face and said, "Mommy, what is that?" poking my scar.
Me: "A scar."
Matthew: "Oh a scarf?"
Me:"No a scar."
Matthew: "No its a scarf!"
Me: "You're silly!"
Matthew: "I know!"
Then this morning he told me to bend over so he could look at my scarf. Then he said, "mom, does your scarf hurt?"

Whiny

Matthew has been really whiny tonight.  So he said some funny things tonight...
Matty: "My bones are missing."
Me: "Where did they go?"
Matty: "I don't know they are too squishy."
Me: "Honey, your bones are not missing or squishy."
Matty: "Yes they are."

Then he was rolling around on the floor.
Me: "Matthew, what is wrong?"
Matthew:"My head hurts, I think my brain is on fire."

Just Kidding

I was singing at the top of my lungs to "You Can't Touch This", yes the song by MC Hammer, in the car this morning, hey is it MY fault if its on the radio? I think not. Then I hear William say, "Mom, you should try out for American Idol." I started laughing and then he said, "I'm just kidding."
