This past weekend, I was watching Little Bill with the boys. In case you don’t know what that is, it’s a cartoon based on Bill Cosby’s life growing up in Philadelphia. So anyway, Little Bill was the ring bearer in his teacher’s wedding. At the end of the wedding the bride and groom kissed. Tali 1 turned to me with a serious look on his face and said, “Mom, I don’t think this is an appropriate show for a kid Tali 2′s age.” *sigh*

Mr. 1969 and I are working on the game plan for what to do when my Dad and his wife arrive tomorrow night. Since they will be flying in, we’ll probably cook dinner instead of going out tomorrow night. I made the mistake of asking him what to cook.
“Fried catfish, red beans and rice but no cornbread. I don’t like cornbread.”
“Uh hello. That’s what YOU like. What do you think our guests will like?”
“Everybody likes fried catfish.”
See what I deal with?

This morning, everyone’s favorite curmudgeon could be heard wailing (as usual) in his room. I was in my bathroom getting dressed and he was getting dressed by his daddy (a.k.a. Cold Pants). Par for the course, our favorite “I hate mornings” child was at it again. Today’s issue was “I don’t want to wear this jacket.” (His gray fleece pullover.)
“What’s the matter Tali 2?”
INSERT WHINY WAILING………………
“I don’t want to wear this jacket.”
“It’s cold outside and you have to wear your fleece okay?”
“NOOoooooooooooo.”
“What’s wrong with your jacket?”
“It’s too hot.”
“You can take it off and put it in your cubby when you get to school.”
“NO I CAN’T!!!!!!!!!!! And it’s tooo hooooooot.”
“What do you want to wear instead?”
“THIS JACKET! (Holds up the identical fleece jacket in navy blue)”
“This one doesn’t make you hot?”
“No.(wailing) It’s cooler.”
*sigh*
And they say women have issues.
LOL, if you had two little girls, it wouldn’t be a simple fleece that’d spark tears, it’d be that she wants to wear her blue skirt, pink tights, and yellow Hello Kitty rain boots. LOL I’ll take the fleece any day over that!
As for fried catfish, isn’t that just the American version of bake and shark?!? lol
Hmm…it may be the American version but Bake and Shark is SOOOOOO much better.
I agree, I will still take the boys over combing hair anyday!
Um…I like fried catfish
Think of it this way…hope Tali 1 stays like that instead of being the older brother that says, “Hey….check this out -insert thing you wouldn’t want your youngest to see here”
I am sure those days are looming on the horizon.
bwahahahahahahahahahaha…it’s cooler…bwahahahahahaha
He meant COOLER as in his swagger would be cool with the Blue one.
You young parents with young ones just don’t understand… bwahahahahahaha
Clearly we don’t. LOL
That made me laugh… especially about the jackets!
1969, stop trippin! You know that gray always makes you wayyyy hotter than blue! LOL! Plus he had to wear cold pants? Man, ya’ll do him BAD.
No wonder I was hot in my gray suit the other day….Hmm…
LOL@ Tali 1 for his big brotherly concern! Please tell Mr. 1969 that everyone does NOT like catfish! (When I left my mother’s house I never ate it again.) Wonder what makes the Blue fleece cooler….May have to call Bill Nye the Science guy and do some experiments!
My nephew is 4 and he has claims blue is his favorite color.
ROFL. Tali 2 needs his own reality show. I love him.
Seriously all of those statement made perfect sense to me. It’s man talk. Don’t hate on the Tali’s swag.
By the way, I thought everybody like cornbread?!!?!?
Mr. 1969 is southern and hates cornbread “Who wants to eat cake with their food?” and mac and cheese “UGH!”.
That’s that “burbs” ish……
Lol @ catfish being like bake and shark.
Poor Tali 2. I can relate to wanting to cry every morning.
LMAO @ Tali 2.. teeheheheeee Mr. 1969 priceless.. but no cornbread? and no mac & cheese? WTH LOL… Tali 1.. priceless moment
tali 2 is has classic lines for days!! wait until he is alllll “growed up” and married……..
tali 1… very cute what he said.
ummmmm….no cornbread?? my fam puts me on cornbread detail EVERYYYY thanksgiving becuz i make the cornbread the way they like it.
Tali 1 seems so mature. LMAO @ “appropriate”.
I swear your kids are my kids clones. My youngest son has pulled that “I don’t wanna wear those SHOES!” mess so often we’ve been late to school FOUR times. Today I got a “Your kids better not be tardy no more” note from the office! What can I say? “Uh, my kid is SUPER cranky in the morning no matter what time he goes to bed…and he has issues with his outfit???”
Now I know why my mom said she’d beat me with an extension cord if I didn’t get down the stairs in 2 minutes!
prety sure cold pants will never stop making me LOL!!! LOLOLOLOL!! & “Mom, I don’t think this is an appropriate show for a kid Tali 2’s age” is hilarious. food… mmmm.
The Talis are too cute.
My daughter pulls that “I don’t wanna wear this” stuff on me every morning. It’s a good thing she wears a uniform, but she did fuss about which jumper she wanted to wear (eventhough all four of them are identical) this morning.
Mr. 1969 is a trip.
“Everybody likes fried catfish.” Mr. 1969
“No.(wailing) It’s cooler.” Tali 2
Insert AR Gal FLATLINE! llllllllllllllll////////////////____________
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
My grandmother loves watching Little Bill
Tali 2 sounds like my brother when it comes to what to wear. With that said, I shall keep you in my prayers on the daily.
girl.. I SWEAR Tali2 and my child are CLONES of each other!
EVERY.DAY we FIGHT (kung fu that is…) about WHAT he “does not want to wear”…
My mother said it’s because we give him too many options…. **sigh**
