So here's what I'm talking about when I say that my kids are each totally different from the other, especially Connor and Noah. A recent outing to Dunkin Donuts provided a perfect opportunity for my little gang to showcase their funny differences (and to add a new word to my vocabulary).
Shelby: -no words- She just digs in and really doesn’t waste time with needless chatter. She loves sweets and nothing will stop her from savoring every bite.
Noah’s experience: “Oh boy! My doughnut looks just like a BRAIN!”
More from Noah, cackling LOUDLY: “Look! My brain has gooey stuff in the middle!!! I’m EATING my brain!!! HA HA HA HA!!”
Meanwhile, Connor's observation: “Wow! Look, the bag has a rebus on it!”
Mommy: “What the heck is a rebus?!?!?”
Connor: “Mommy! DUH! It’s when pictures are substituted for words to make a sentence or tell a story.”
Okay, don't sit there and pretend like YOU know what a rebus is. Mark claims that he knew what it meant. Whatevs.
Anyway, just another day in our household where Mark and I look at each other and shake our heads and wonder, how the heck are we going to keep up with Connor’s brain? I do take a little comfort in knowing that at least Connor still (inexplicably) finds humor in Noah's endless jokes and stories about poopies - rampaging poopies, talking poopies, singing poopies, etc.
I totally knew what a reebus was...Rhebus...reabus, aw who am I kidding, I had no clue what it was. Good luck keeping up with him, and curse you for showing pictures of doughnuts on here, now I have to go back to Wegmans and buy me some!
ReplyDeleteConnor is such a smartie-pants! I'm sure Rich knows what a rebus is. I was drooling over the donuts to really care about what a rebus was. I'm with Shelby... dig right in. Noah - he's just a hoot.
