Oh The Things You Say #8
Things I don’t like to hear:
“Mom’s coming! Quick HIDE!….” or
Even worse:
“Mom’s coming! Quick hide IT!”
That always means trouble or mischief of some sort.

Mya: “Mommy, I LOVE Lukey! He’s my baby!”
Me: “No, he’s my baby!”
Mya: “NO, He’s not your baby! He’s MY baby!”
She is so possessive over him.
~~~~~~
Mya wanted to go with Laura to do her paper route. I told her she could because she was too small.
Mya (2 years old) : “But I went pee in the toilet! I’m big!”
Me: Yes, but not big enough to go out with Laura.
Mya: “Yes, I am big. I’m a big girl! See?”
Poor kid.
~~~~~~
I scared Mya while she was sitting on the counter.
Mya scowls, “Mommy, You scared me! Don’t do that!”
Me: “Sorry, it was funny.”
“Well, it’s not funny for me!” she says with her eye brows furrowed.

Ryan: if you cleaned up the basement you get to go to Tim Horton’s after soccer. Boys did you clean up the basement?
Josh(enthusiastically): Yep, it’s all clean!! Very clean!
Brandon: Yep…… (pause for 20 seconds) Are you going to check?
Ryan: Yes
Brandon: “Oh….” he says in a defeated voice.

Brandon came up to me one day after playing in the backyard and gave me a hug. He looked at me with his big brown soft eyes and said, “Mommy promise me you won’t die.”
I just smiled and said, “I promise I won’t die for a long time, but you know eventually everyone dies honey…. but don’t worry, if I do die, I’ll just hang out around the house and haunt you ok?”
He just said, “Please don’t die. I don’t want you to die.”
I just said, “ok.” He obviously didn’t get my teasing from before. I don’t know what made him say that. I asked him why he would say that but he didn’t say anything.
Sometimes I wonder about him. He says some freaky stuff sometimes that I wonder if he is somehow able to see things or have dreams about what will happen. The only reason why I think so, is cuz I have this ability and I wonder if he has inherited it.
He would tell us things like, “you have to be careful and watch Mya when she is playing by the river or she will fall in and die.”
I know it’s stating the obvious, but then he goes into detail about what the day is like and exactly how she drowns as if he is watching it happen. Hmmm…
So I’m just careful.
