I really appreciate Amyth Banerji at Mythbroakia for appreciating me. He nominated my blog for the Reader Appreciation award. You all know how the rules go:
1. Appreciate the blogger who nominated you. I did.
2. 7 things about yourself. Since I have done this many times, I don’t think readers will appreciate another 7 things. I plan on appreciating something else.
3. Appreciate 5 to 10 other bloggers.
So I am going to appreciate 7 things my kids have said.
1. Twin 2 (5 years) at an Aftar Party a few days ago when using the host’s washroom:
“Toilet bowls are so big. Babies could just fall in. When I’m grownd up and have my own baby where will I make it go potty?”
2. Twin 1, just now. “When I am grownd up, I am not going to have a boy baby. He will just bug me all the time!”
3. Middle Child when she was a toddler observing an earthworm after the rain: “Mommy look eardworm hole is digging!”
4. Only son in answer to anything: “It wasn’t me!”
5. Eldest daughter in answer to anything:”It wasn’t me”
6. All at once at the dinner table: “I like dogs, can we get one?” “No! You have to pick up their poop!” “Ha ha he said poop! Stop pushing me!” “Poop, doggy poop!” “I am not picking up the doggy’s poop” “I don’t believe this! Why are we talking about poop at the dinner table?” “Ewww! Doggy poop!” “Stop it! Stop saying poop!” “Poop, poop,poop…Ow she hit me! you are a poopy face!” “MOM!!”
Me: “Pass me the poopatoes…”
7. After yelling at them to stop fighting, reminding them how lucky they are to have each other and that I was all alone as a child: Twins: “don’t be sad mommy you’re not alone anymore, now you have us.” And I am enveloped in a large odd shaped hug of five children.
I have nominated quite a few blogs the past few days so I am nominating some new blogs I have just started following that I thought were interesting:
1. Nyparrot

Congratulations! You don’t at all look or sound like the mother of 5 children!! Thanks for the little peek into your family life
I think having the five of them keeps me thinking like a kid! Thanks Madhu, just read your ‘ Legacy of Peace’. Great Post!
Ah, nothing like a good poop joke to set the kids a-giggling. Well done.
Thanks for visiting
Isn’t it crazy how that one odd little word will send anyone under 10 ( and sometimes over) into hysterics?
I am always in the mood for a good poop joke as well. Why should kids have all the fun?
Same here and it drives my teenager nuts! She acts all prim and proper, making appropriately disgusted faces while my husband and I discuss aspects of the digestive process among hoots of laughter from the 13 and under group
Somehow this often happens at the dining table…
Wow that is one amazing family you have there ma’am!
Thanks, after I get over my initial screaming fit, I do think they are amazing as well
You have a wonderful family! Kids say the funniest things
Yes I do try to appreciate them, they are quite entertaining
Thanks for dropping by!
Oh thank you for the recommendation… I’m not sure how all this works, but I just followed your comment back to your blog and saw my bloglink at the end.
You are welcome, just follow the instructions in the post and you can copy and paste the ‘reader’s appreciation award’ from the column on the left hand where all the award stuff is.
For number 3, why did you appreciate things you kids have said instead of things by other bloggers? :s
It is supposed to be 7 things about yourself, but I have done this so many times I thought I would do something about my life which seems to revolve around my kids.
