Kaleidoscopic Eclat

….as taking your first born, your oldest child, your almost 16 year old son in to get his Driving Learner’s Permit.

Sigh.

The last weekend I had the Boy and all his friends in the house, there were some interesting discoveries made! For example:

– The little gas furnace in the Manspace can be used to cook hot dogs, sausage links, corn dogs, and even frozen pizza’s if you’re kinda patient.

—- It is better to put down aluminum foil before cooking the above items, so that you don’t catch anything on fire with dripping grease.

—- Plastic wrap melts on said furnace, so place the bread on the table.

—- The snow outside the back window is a perfect Freezer. Until said window freezes shut.

– When said boys have a lot of soda, they don’t come into the house to pee nearly as often as you’d think.

—-In fact, they don’t come in to pee at all.

—-Instead, they come in and casually announce that you should not eat the yellow snow.

—-And when you ask if they’ve been peeing in the neighbors garden, they just grin. Oy.

And best of all…

Life with teenage boys is a never-ending source of amusement. (grin)

…who during her Parent Teacher’s conference, decided to tell the story of the video below - most specifically about the Bug farting at Nana. Me, ever helpful, prompted her to finish the story:

me: “…and then what did Nana do?”

the Pup: “huh? oh, yeah. Then. *exagerated groan* Nana started talking about SEX. WILD sex! EWWW!”

Me: “……”

Mrs. W: (trying VERY hard not to laugh - failing miserably)

Me: “….I meant the belch….”

The Pup: “…oh. Well. but THEN you..”

Me: “So - how about these grades!!!”

Grooooooooaaaaaaaan.

So. Nana and I got our prize box from Adri over at Darkside Rainbow for the comment contest he had a while back. I won the coffee mug for being comment number 101, and Nana, she snuck in for the grand prize and won a t-shirt, clock and teddybear with comment 500! She decided to let me have the clock and t-shirt, and will keep the teddybear.

So I was wearing my shirt…:

And my son read it… slowly… and then was like MOM! You’re not gonna wear that! And I was like yup! When do your friends get here again? And he was all “That’ll just make you even more the coolest mom ever to them!” Which made me laugh. SO! Said friends? Are here tonight. Two of them anyway. One of the boys, Z, turned around, read my shirt, and then laughed so hard he choked. S wasn’t far behind. I was pleased with the effect it had on them. The boy - properly mortified.

Then they went to get some food at the store. They come home and I asked what they got me? And they said…

“We wanted to get you one of those giant pickles in the bag.”

I was like “….ok, but I don’t eat Pi…”

They jumped in.. “NOT to EAT… to Match your SHIRT!”

And I lost it - laughing so hard it was my turn to almost choke. Man, I love my son’s friends. *Cracking UP*

~~

In other news - Nana, she was a little bit embarrassed that I put that sickeningly sweet story up about her and Papa… (So she says - we all know she loved it. *grin*) so in order to help her regain her confidence, I give you this - Nana at her finest…

(If you don’t see me for a while - is cuz Nana hurted me. Hahahah!)

Her: I need black shoes!
Me: You HAVE black shoes!
Her: Those are Nana’s!
Me: She gave them to you, remember?
Her: Oh.

Time passes, we go to pick up Claribelle from the nice man who fixed the clarinet, before her ensemble comp at school

Her: I hate these shoes.
Me: Why?
Her: They make me WALK FUNNY.
Me: …
Her: SEE?
Me: …you mean they make you walk like a GIRL?
Her: YES! AUGH!
Me: ….hahahahahhahahahahaha…
Her: (glare)

Keep in mind, that she’s still sporting fake nails and loves them to bits… among every other girly thing. But man, walking LIKE A GIRL is apparently CROSSING THE LINE….

hahahahahh!
