She Digs Him; He Digs....Something Else?

While this may be indicitive of our private family conversations, it is not something I normally allow our children to repeat publicly, just for the record. And yet here it is out in cyberspace, albeit for our own humor and memories. It's nothing BAD. I just didn't want to give the impression that we are ALL about potty humor and bodily functions.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This evening just before leaving for dinner, my daughter came into the laundry room where my son and I were talking to present him with a small gift bag. She quickly ran out and giggles could be heard emanating from her bedroom where her friend was. My son opened the bag to find some candies and a note:

"Dalton is so handsum. I wont to marry Dalton."

Now while the idea of a girlfriend is still far from my son's mind right now, I DO think it rather stroked his ego just a little, judging by the awkward grin and the eye-roll.

A few minutes later in the car, he was complaining to his dad that having your sister's friend have a crush on you is just "gross." And I think his sister agreed - having your friend have a crush on your brother is no picnic in the park either.

Here was the hubby's advice: "Just wait until she is looking at you with those dreamy eyes and then reach in real good and pick out a booger."

Everyone: "Ewwwwww!"

"Well, I guarantee she won't like you anymore! Right, Babe?"

How did I get roped into endorsing this advice?! But he had a point. "Uh....YEAH!" (Duh!)

Who knew my husband had such a bag of tricks for repulsing women? But I love him.

Hey, what's that smell?

That last line....genius! I laughed so hard, I think my kids are fairly worried about their mother's sanity.

Who needs diamonds when we have boogers? Great post. I'm "Mr. Sniz" (also known as Big Doofus or Robotface Shumway) and I decided to give your blog a read based on her recommendation. Who would have thought that I'd glean such great advice for my 13-year-old boy!
