Babies doctoring babies

I asked Austen what he wanted to do when he grows up. He told me he wants to cut hair. But only Henner's hair. I told him that he can't make enough money to eat only cutting Henner's hair. He said he wanted to comb Henner's hair too. When I told him that even with combing Henry's hair he still wouldn't make enough money to eat, he was a little disappointed so he decided to be a doctor. A babies doctor, only babies. "I only want to doctor the babies" he said.

Inspection!

Austen has a flashlight. He likes to inspect things with it. After I changed Aaron's diaper Austen showed up with his flashlight to inspect my work. "Let me see here... (here he lifted up the front of the diaper by Aaron's tummy up and shined the beam from the flashlight in) yup, it's all changed. This diaper is CLEAN!" I am glad he was there to make sure.

ha ha ha.

Good job, Austen.

You have the funniest stories about your boys, a laugh riot at the O house.

This is absolutely the funniest ever. I can imagine him doing that.

"The Best 7 Minutes Ever" or "What Can Happen to Your Living Room While Your Back is Turned"

Sarah called me and we got on the subject of one of our former favorite pastimes: watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. Specifically: "Winged Potato", "Grandma Daughter", and "Zap "MY DRINKIN' ARM'S HEALED" Rowzdower" So, we decided to watch one, together, 2000 miles apart, via youtube, a cellphone and synchronized play-button-hitting. I turned the volume up as high as it would go and she listened in on her end (she was at work). I turned my back on my kids and determined to ignore them for the next 7 minutes and 2 seconds. A lot can happen in 7 minutes and 2 seconds... to my living room: Austen spit an entire bottle of water on Henner, Henner unfolded all the clothes on the couch, Henner dismantled said couch, Aaron woke up and demanded that he be fed, the timer went off for the peach crisp that was in the oven, Austen told me that the timer went off for the peach crisp that was in the oven, Austen told me again that the timer went off for the peach crisp that was in the oven (that's okay, I like it a little crispy), and last but not least, Austen dismantled a cement mixer. (it was a matchbox car, okay) Still at the end of all this, I found that it was worth it, I spent a great 7 minutes with my sister although she is 2000 miles away. We vowed to do it again. Next time I will put the kids to bed first.

Or, your children can run down the street naked to the park; be spotted by a passing driver, and have the police show up to ask if that was your children nekked, alone and at the park. Only to be sure that your children were where they were supposed to be, naked and at the park.

Frunch Toast

Austen needs a shirt to eat breakfast. Today he said he needs a shirt to eat "frunch toast" on his way to get said shirt, he asked me, "where did you come from?" I replied, "from my mommy's tummy" to which he stated, "Oh! I like you at my house!"

Comments:
ah ha ha ha ha.
That's the best, ever.

My other funny child

Today Austen was asked if he thought the pizza liked him. He informed us that, like butter, pizza doesn't have eyes.

Comments:
aww! yay!!! That made me laugh out loud. I love it.

The kid is way to smart for the likes of you two, by that I mean, you and Ty, not Henry and Aaron. They are just thinking all those things, they can't put them into words yet.

Funny Little Aaron

Well, he's not funny, but the noises he makes are. Except when you are trying to sleep. I AM SO TIRED!

Comments:
that's unfortunate.

and- what about funny Henry?
-Posted by Sarah Wednesday, June 27, 2007 - 12:32 PM

I have other funny children

Just in case you thought Henry was the only one who did cool stuff, this came out of Austen's mouth today:

Austen: I like butter (which is actually mayo)

Tyson: The butter likes you

Austen: The butter doesn't like me because the butter doesn't have eyes!


Note: If you ask him if inanimate objects are happy or sad, he will reply that they are neither because they don't have eyes. He realizes that if something does not have eyes, it is in fact not living.

Comments:

That made me LOL.
I still vote that the butter likes him. How could it not, eyes or no?

Mark said that there are creatures who live in caves which don't have eyes. I said awwww how cute, I say that with eyes like Austen, who or what wouldn't like him.

Mrs. O., I really rather enjoyed this blog and was set to give you kudos for it, but then Mr. O. informed me you stole it from him, and so to him I must give two verbal kudos. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is only what is right. However, so as not to incite your wrath, I will give you one kudo for posting this before him.
