When your kids make you laugh

It's so fun when your toddler goes from saying one word to speaking full sentences in the space of a few weeks. This afternoon, after another episode of the wake up from your nap and do your business and then let mom come in to get you and nearly pass out from the smell, we had a heart to heart chat.
Me: Jonathan, you're a big boy. Big boys put poop in the potty. That's what Jonathan should do.
Jonathan (faking surprise): Whoaa...fun idea!
Me: Don't pretend this is the first time I've told you this.
Jonathan (faking innocence): What mommy?
Me: Put your poop in the potty!
Jonathan (deciding to give up the charade and just be honest): No. I like to put it here. Right here in my diaper. (Pat, pat).

And a Lily story...Breakfast time is usually pretty hairy...Luke is already gone for work and I try to juggle making and serving breakfast for two little people while feeding the baby and what not. Feeling like a good mommy, I served Lily a plate of perfectly cooked eggs and toast. She took one look and said, "Mommy, didn't you have any concept that I wanted pancakes today?"
