On the bus today, Little_Bird wouldn't stay sitting on his bottom. I kept gently reminding him that he had to sit properly and at first he tried to obey, but eventually, as the journey wore on, he became more and more fidgety. It was a long journey and I felt sorry for him because it's so hard for a little boy to stay still for more than a few minutes. But worried he would be in a vulnerable and dangerous situation if the bus suddenly braked, I tried everything I could think of to make him sit properly, finally resorting to the threat "Well, if you don't sit down like all the other people on the bus, I might have to smack your bottom." I'd played my last card. So what did he do? He decided to sing "Smack my bottom, smack my bottom, smack my bottooooooooooom!" at the top of his lungs on the bus. "Sit down," I said. "No, I want my bottom smacked!" he loudly informed the rest of the bus, standing on the seat for all to see him. "We like to smack my bottom!" he yelled joyously, and started to smack his own bottom with his hand. He looked over the seat at the pretty young woman sitting behind and said, ever so charmingly, "would you like to smack my bottom?"

My young nephew was crawling on the floor and we went to the cat food bowl
and picked up a big handful of dry cat food and put it in his mouth. He spit it out real quick and my brother said to him "Boy, I'll bet you'll never do that again!".

my parents never told me what happens when you bite a lightbulb. they found out. I come running in spitting blood and glass all over the floor.

I cooked roast chicken with potatoes, yorkshire pudding, mushrooms, onions and pumpkin last night. We were all enjoying it when the eldest (4) needed to potty. So my wife takes care of that, then goes back to feeding our son (1). A few minutes later we turned around to see our son, stirring the contents of the potty with his fork!

When we were in Hong Kong, we often used the minivan to go from A to B because it was the easiest and quickest method.

One day on our way home, Letty asked me where we were going, so I said we were going home and that we were in a minivan. She asked a minivan? I said yes. At that moment, another minivan pulled up and Letty pointed to that bus and asked, mummy, look, that's *mickey* van.. I bursted out laughing... I realised that she thought I had said *minnie* van....

We refer to my sons' ding dong as his 'toy toy'. Its a filipino thing. Last November he announced to the four English teachers from my school (3 guys, one girl....we were having dinner), complete with a very generous gesture, that Pappa has a big toy-toy.
"What's a toy-toy?", one asked. "Nothing", I said. He of course pulled his pants open and pointed down.

Hehe, my son has occasionally embarrassed us with 'willy talk.' But worse than that, he keeps tabs on which family members are using the bathroom and what they are doing.

"Mummy's in the bathroom doing a wee wee!" he will yell, racing into the kitchen to inform his grandmother. Not so long ago he informed a telephone caller that "Daddy did a poo poo on the toilet and the baby did a poo poo on his nappy!"

Here is another story involving Little_Bird and a bus. My husband had spent the day out with Little_Bird, and was returning home on the bus. LB was sitting on his dad's lap. All of a sudden, my husband suddenly felt hot, and realised with horror what was happening. Little_Bird is not quite completely toilet trained. "Daddy, I done a wee wee!" The wee pooled in my husband's lap, and then started running down his leg to the floor. It kind of looked like he was doing it! It pooled at his feet on the bus floor, and other passengers looked at my husband stonily, and he miserably avoided their gaze for the rest of the journey. Because LB had been sitting in his lap, it actually looked like my husband had wet his own pants, and he had to walk all the way home looking like he'd wet himself.

Hahahahahaha! I laughed so much! I laughed so much I actually nearly choked.
