Me: I am the best mummy in the whole world!
Boo: No you are not.
Me: What? Yes I am.
Boo: No. You are too whiney.
This is because I had spent the last 5 hours trying to convince him to write out his Christmas list to Santa, because just screaming out to me from the other room IN JAPANESE was not quite cutting it.
But point taken Boo, point taken.
I will concentrate more on being awesome.
Awesome totally suits me.

I didn’t think you could be any more awesome than you already are.
Apparently I was wrong.

*snort*
I think I’d take the cake for being the whiniest parent evaaaair.
But man your kid is funny

Geeze, whiney my arse, I could show Boo my ex and current MILs who could out-whine a jet engine with a slipped diff!

I hope you whined back “but Booooooooooo…..”. That’s what Pearl does when I tell her to quit whining. “Oh, Mu-uuuuuummmm”. Drives me nuts. Nutser.

LOL, can you understand the japanese, that would make you ultra awesome!

I found the following phrases that you may want to use next time Boo calls you “whiney” in Japanese.
* Machigattemasu. (You’re wrong.)
* Name’n ja ne, toko. (Don’t mess with me, boy.)
* Watashi no hobakurafuto wa unagi de ippai desu. (My hovercraft is full of eels.)
Out of the fucking mouths of babes….

Remind Boo that Santa only understands Japanese when he’s in Japan. Also that he needs a written record so that he can check it against last years requests to make sure he doesn’t send the same thing again.
I had an awesome wine the other night. Mt Jagged Reserve Shiraz nom nom nom

Poor kids in Japan, if Santa doesn’t speak Japanese…

Don’ you just love it when they say things like that? ><

When he screams out his Christmas list in Japanese, you just calmly turn away and, as you walk out of the room, cast back over your shoulder, “I have NO IDEA why you want rice balls for Christmas, but if that’s what you want, that’s what you’ll get.”
He may soon remember he speaks Aussie.

I am still shocked when i see santa wearing shorts on tv.
You get more awesome? I better put on my seatbelt, eh?

Awesome does suit you. It’s like a great pair of jeans.

I think you should totally challenge Boo to point out another mom that’s more awesome than you and there must be reasons given.
Then stuff your fingers in your ears and sing lalalalalalalalala, cause you know the lil fucker will DO it.
.-= Krissa´s last blog ..There just is no good title for this. I mean what on earth would you call it? =-.
But it’s part of being a mom. Once you have children, you have the right to whine. At least as much as they do.

I can’t believe yelling from the other room in Japanese doesn’t cut it with you.
I mean, really. WHAT DO YOU WANT, WOMAN?

I was, according to my 2 year old today, “taking away his fun.”
.-= Aunt Becky´s last blog ..This Ain’t Your Momma’s Pioneer Woman (Redux) =-.
I used to think I was nagging my kids too much. They had a friend over once, as I was having one on my “Mom moments”. I looked at him and said, “I guess your Mom doesn’t whine like that?” and he said, “are you kidding? she’s so much worse than you are!”
Made my day

Awesome does suit you! I am the queen of complaining according to my family. Nice to pull my head out of my own life and catch up here a bit.
.-= aarin´s last blog ..easy =-.
I try not to make statements like that in front of my kids for fear of what they will say next.
.-= Stimey´s last blog ..Happy Turkey Day! =-.
OK – so I’m not alone. I pretty much MAKE each of my kids tell me EVERY DAY that I am the BEST MAMA EVER, lest they forget. Lest they forget, because once they do, I am fecked.
