hi, to help move posts a long, get this.

the other day my 11 year old son woke up with his first pimple...he had quite a reaction...he was overjoyed, dancing that he is now a pre pre teen!!! He wonders if any of his other friends are gonna get their first pimple...i guess he thinks he's maturing, LOL. i remember acne, I DONT remember being so proud to show it off...last nite he said you dont think it will go away do you mom??? He thinks if it does he wont be a pre pre teen as he calls it, lol. His chest is stuck out like peacock's, now hes nagging his dad for the talk, birds and the bees...i try hard not to crack up laughing tho. He sort of wanted to tell all of his friends on the phone, i didnt have the heart to tell him that most people are embarrassed by their acne so being a mom,,,i came up with this...its not nice to brag honey, it may make them feel bad.

ROLmButtO!!!

Arent kids just the greatest!!!! I thank God everyday for them...any more cherished child memories???

annie

Oh! Annie I wish I could have been a little mouse!! I can just see how proud he was. Children are our greatest gift.

Oh Annie,

I have no idea how you didn't just crack up laughing.

I sat here laughing so hard that I'm now wearing some of my coffee.

I've got a few years before I have to deal with acne here. My oldest is only 9.

Annie , that is truly funny ......

Yah wonder where they get this idea from or thought , LOL

not to brag , ,that was a good one .

I have a short one ..
My daughter was only young , and we were in a restaurant and about to order dinner when a man went up to the counter , my daughter spots him RIGHT AWAY !

and she says to her Dad , her brother and me

Mom , dad , rob , LOOK ! A GEENIE !



I was horrified but at the same time , dad , rob and mom , laughed out LOUD ! and of course tried to shhh her ..

The man spun around and glared , he was a black man wearing a turban !

OOPS !

We could not hush her , she was so excited .

We had to tell her it was not a Geenie
she was so mad and upset and then tried to hide behind me and started to cry .
We told her it was a man from another country and that was there type of clothing they wear.

She was not a happy camper .
she was sure she had a wish coming to her.
LOL

cant spell ...I dream of jeenie geenie ,, am I even close to the spelling .. yah know the geenie that comes out of the bottle ... yiyi
help

Red,
That is what is so wonderful about the innocent of Children.

Oh REDD!!

That was funny, if poeple would accept that kids are kids and they are niave, then he may not have looked so angry when he turned around....if I would have been the man i would have understood. im still giggling, i dream of jeannie? could be.

I can just picture her excited little face waiting for her wishes...kids are the greatest.

CAA, kids are a wonderful gift from God, I cant wait to hear the details of your time with other grandchildren in march!!

Tspauld, i hope you didnt burn yourself, with your coffee.lol. Your guy may only be 9 but I'll tell you time flies, seemed like yesterday mine was 9. miss those years. He is such a quiet boy, the younger boy....well we all no hes got quite the little attitude happening.

heres one for him...my dad bought a new car...he was bragging saying he was gonna get a muscle car, so he called it, me and my brothers were excited waiting for him to bring it home...little guy loves his poppy and he knows his cars, since he was 3 he knew them by the logos...anyway

dad comes home and we all check is car out, we are expecting a muscle car, its a toyota yaris hatchback!!!! Well, we all started laughing uncontrollably and taunting my dad, harmlessly of course. i said thats not a car thats a pi$$pot!! Well, my 4 year old didnt like that, he yells THATS NOT A PI$$POT THATS A tOYOTA eARIS(HOW IS SAYS IT) I SAID YOU CANT SAY ANY BAD TALK, HIDING MY LAUGHTER, THE BEST OF IT IS, EVERYWHERE HE GOES AND NO MATTER WHERE HE IS HE TELLS EVERYONE, CANT SAY PI$$POT, ESPECIALLY IF HE SEES A TOYOTA, ISNT HE A HOOT!!!!

LAUGHING IT UP
ANNIE

How I know Annie how quick they grow up. It seems like yesterday that we were finally able to bring her home from the NICU, and now she's 9.

Yes annie how do you not laugh?Thats too funny.My 13 old daughter thinks she needs to hide and die if she gets a pimple.Wow boys and girls are so different.

omg! Annie I am dying! TOO Funny!

I am 30 years old and I still get the occasional pimple- UGH!!!!
Maybe if I was super excited about it, jumping around and stuff, they would just go away??

LOL

Marisa I thought of that!!! i get them too at 37. once in a while...i sure dont brag about them...hubby think im nuts but I'll try jumping and down...I swear if he could he'd highlight his pimple, lol.
annie

hi kay, i dont no how i controlled my laughter...i think im trained cause like he said the younger has me trained. i was the same way with pimples!!! I'm sure he'll change his attitude when he gets more than one, lol

Re my little guy, he thinks he's being good cause he tells everyone they cant say pi$$pot...he doesnt realize that when he says it anyway, HES STILL USING BAD TALK, LOL. HE'S SO CUTE, THEY BOTH ARE, OH HECK ALL KIDS ARE.

annie

tspauld, do you mean your 9 year old was in the intensive care unti? Sorry if i sound nosy, but it makes my heart even more to see children suffering.

is he ok now?

Now he is a little guy after my own heart! LOL As I have said Daughter's little man is a hoot. You know how you wish you children to have one just like them but a 1000 time worst? Well he's the one!! LOL He is not alowed to say poop-poop head right. And we were in Omaha driving out to eat. Daughter was driving Pa-Pa was in front with her and I was with babies in the back seat. (her hubby was at the football game GO Big Red) Anyway children were egging each other on when little guy called his sister a poop-poop head.
She yelled Mom Aiden called me a poop-poop head and Daughter said Aiden what did you say? (that was the wrong thing to ask!) So Aiden said I said Poop-poop head, I known I should not say poop-poop head and I am not going to say poop-poop head again, because poop-poop head is bad word and you would not like me to say poop-poop head, so I will not say poop-poop head. Well I think you got the picture, he had us trying so hard not to laugh I thought I would peep my pants before we got to Ruby tuesdays. Kids you got to love them!

Oh Annie, she's not there now.

I've got four kids 9,8,6 and 3. They were all preemies and the first 3 had to spend some time in the NICU after they were born. They induced me with my oldest one 9 weeks early because I had pre-eclampsia. he spent time in the NICU because she wasn't breathing when she was born.

Oops, I can't type today. I meant she. My oldest two are girls. The 6 year old is a boy. And the youngest is a girl.

You have been truly blessed. 4 wonderfully children. I wanted 6 but God blessed me with 2. But I have 5 grandchildren. And for that I am thankful.

Thank God they are ok now!!! You scared me...sorry i misunderstood.

you have a house of full of fun, the stress you must be under with your injuries and diabetes on top of that. Children are wonderful but they are a full time job...and we all find work hard.

annie

Smiling ,, awe .... LOL
All in one breath , I bet yah .
lol


" yah remember that show .

kids say the darndest things "

trying to think of the host

was it Art Linkletter and then another person took the show over?

Hi Red, I think it was Bill Cosby who took over the show...not sure

annie

Yes Yes Yes Red I remember that show. I think that somewhere in this mess I call home I even have one of his books that he put out on Children's saying.

Now this was a GREAT way to start my morning -- so funny!

Mine are young enough to embarass us daily! I'll give you one from each that has happened lately

We were walking from the car to our oldest to Ballet class and my husband was carrying her on his shoulders. A bald man walks by and she YELLS out, "WOW look at that man I can see his head!" We try to ignore her, hping she will be quiet but not Ivy, she keeps going "No, really, I can see his head! Right down to his SKULL!" She is now leaninfg over trying to make eye contact with her Dad and she NEVER stops - "Look at him guys, NO HAIR! Aaaaammmmmmaaaazzzzziiiiinnnngggg" Luckily, the man just cracks up, stops when he gets next to us and ask if she wants to TOUCH it! She couldn't lean over fast enough! She told all of the kids in her class about it, and I think she'll never get over it! LOL

~~~~~~

We have always taught the kids the "real" words for things and this time it back fired! My son was in the car last week and out of the blue he says, "Why do just girls get to have a body part named after a country?" My DH and I were like "What?" and he says, "Well, they get a CHINA and we don't get any countries!" Ohhhhhhh

~~~~~~

Now for my youngest - we were on our way to Church and we had this car pull in front of us which was bad enough but he was going SUPER slow on the snow making it VERY dangerous. He was doing the slow down, stop, speed, slow down and my DH mumbles "JackA*s" under his breath. We finally get to Church and the Priest, walks over and says, "Glad to see you could make it, thoose roads are horrible" And my sweet little daughter chims in "Yea, there were JackAs*ses and everything!"

Well, that was funny, especially the last one...I would have love to have seen the expression on the priest's faceLOL. Did he have a sense of humor??

Children are wonderful, I think they are like that to how that we are all vulnerable and all niave, oh heck nahh just to make us laugh,lol.

nice to hear from you sky, great seeing you.

luv
annie

Awe ,, I left early and missed this post ,

Glad it was here when I got back .. wow

I'm still smiling !

and laughing at the same time .

that was cute

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Children, Gods Children, you just have to love them.

That is precious Annie. You'll remember that for the rest of your life. Aren't kids wonderful.

My oldest started her period when she was 9yrs. old and she was so proud.

I think it's the way their raised. I raised my girls without fear to tell me anything...which by the way didn't always work. I raised them to never be ashamed unless they've done something wrong. I think your raising your boys with pride and strength in who they are so they will deal with things that would upset another child. Who would have thought your son could have been so proud of a pimple, lol. He knows who he is and I believe his confidence will make him a person others will love....just like his mom and dad.

Good going Annie and AH.

Love Tammy

LOL, your son is too much. Unfortunately, his glee will soon turn to dismay when he gets his 2nd one. I was fortunate in that, dry skin runs in my family. I didn't have any trouble with acne bcz most teens get oily skin and that brings on acne. But me, I had dry skin which brought on blotches around my nose and on my chin.

Finally, my mom sent me to a doc who prescribed some skin cream that stopped the blotches.

I remember my youngest daughter was really late starting her period. All her friends had started a year prior and still no period. One morning my daughter came flying downstairs declaring she had "finally" started. Boy, was she eating her words when a few months later she started getting cramps w/her periods.
