Celebrating the Savage, Hilarious, Disgusting and Adorable World of Little Boys

Random quotes overheard while getting ready for school this morning

From Milo:

“This is kind of like sewing but with killing stuff.”

“Mom, can I hit you over the head with my super soft dagger thingy?”

“Morris, you know why I chose wood? Because wood is the mind drainer. If I put these on different parts of your body they drain all your powers.”

 

… And Morris:

“I need something really sharp.” — as he rummages through the cutlery drawer.
“Take my power! Take it! Take it! TAKE IT!!!”

Reverse psychology

Me: “Morris! My sweetie! I’m so happy to see you!”

Morris: “Mommy NOOOOOOOO!”

Me: “What?”

Morris: “Don’t hug me!”

Me: “Why on earth would I want to hug YOU? You’re too prickly!”

Morris: “Don’t kiss me!”

Me: “Kiss you??? Bleah! No way — you taste like moldy fruit! Moldy, stinky fruit! Yuck!”

An evil gleam glints in his eyes and he starts to chase me, lips puckered in full smooch position. After finding me surprisingly easy to catch he wraps his arms around me and plants a big wet one right on my cheek.

… Mission accomplished.

What I don’t see won’t thwart him

Morris comes running into our upstairs bathroom, where I’ve just stepped out of the shower. “Mom! Stay in here for a long time!”

Me: “I can’t — I need to get dressed.”

Morris: “Okay, but don’t look at me.”

Me: “All right. I won’t look at you.”

Morris: “I’m going to get dressed.”

Me: “Sounds good.”

Morris, whispering: “And I’m going to jump on your bed.”

Me: “Sweetie, you know that if I see you jumping on my bed, I’m going to tell you to stop.”

Morris: “That’s why I told you not to look at me!”

A Slimy Bedtime Procrastination Tactic

Me: “You’re going to lick me, aren’t you?”

Morris. “No! Hee hee hee hee hee! I’m going to kiss you! Hee hee hee hee!”

Me: “I don’t trust you.”

Morris: “I promise! I’m serious mysterious! I’m going to kiss you! Hee hee hee hee hee!”

Me: “… Okay.”

Morris: SLURP.

Me: “Arrrrrrrgh!”

Morris: “HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!”
