Navigating the Waters



 
Me:  How was school today?

Eli:  I got lots of friends now and the girls really like me.  One of them doesn't like me though.

Me:  What did you do?

Eli:  I was trying to talk to her and I said "But" but she thought I called her a "Butt".  She said she wasn't talking to me anymore and then I said "But" and she thought I called her a "Butt" again.  

Me:  Welcome to the world of girls.

New Kid on the Block





Me:  Well how was the first day at your new school?

Eli:  Lunch was awesome and then I met some bullies. They let me on their team and then kicked me off their team. The girls let me on their team.  I played with them.  They were really nice but kept telling me what to do all the time.

Me: Keep up the good work.  It will pay off in about 10 years.

Eli:  Mommy, I am sexy and I know it.

The Price of Admission



Me:  Eli, you are going to try out your new private school today.  You will be there for 3 hours.

Eli:  Mommy, I am so excited.

Me:  You can’t walk in there and sing "I'm sexy and I know it".  You also need to go to the bathroom if you need to pass gas.  Your farts seem to turn into poop these days.

Eli:  What if I dance like this?

Me:  No, they do not want to see you spank your fanny or do the sprinkler dance.

Me:  "Extremely inappropriate bodily functions behavior that was disrespectful to the class and to the teachers".

Eli:  The teacher says I am the Class Clown and Mommy I am going to be the best Class Clown she has ever had.

Topless for Teacher



Me:  Eli, your homework is to draw any picture and write a sentence.

Eli:  I am going to draw a picture of you, me and Daddy at sunset.

15 minutes later…

Eli:  Look Mommy.

Me:  Wow just beautiful.  Why is my chest area abnormally large and I am not wearing a shirt?
(This is obvious from the gigantic nipples he has drawn on the stick figure boobs).

Eli:  That is so the teacher will know it is you.

Me:  Hummm…I do wear a shirt daily.  How about drawing a shirt on me?

Eli:  Okay Mommy.  You can pick the color and maybe the teacher will know it is you.

My Friend Bleach



Eli:  Mommy come in here.  I just pooped in the sink.

Me:  WHAT?  Why are you standing on the bathroom counter?

Eli:  Mommy, I just wanted to see what my booty hole looked like and was looking at it in in the mirror.

Me:  How did the poop get in the sink?

Eli:  I forgot to wipe and it fell out.

Me:  Wipe after you go potty and no more standing on the bathroom counter.  Use the full-length mirror if you insist on investigating your fanny.

Eli:  It's really cool Mommy.  Look.

The Secret Life




Me:  The baby-sitter is coming and you need to take a bath and put on your pajamas.

Eli:  Mommy she CAN NOT know I wear a pull-up at night.  I must put on underwear after my bath.

Me:  Well you better go to the bedroom and get that night diaper out of the floor sitting there sunny side up.

Eli:  (Running upstairs and moving stuff around).

Me:  Well?

Eli:  It's all taken care of now Mommy.  The pull-up is hidden in the trashcan with a piece of paper on top of it.  She will only know me as the boy who wears underwear.

Trick or Treat



Eli:  Mommy it has been a red day and I still must be able to get candy tonight.

Me:  ?

Ei:  I had to go to the principal's office.
I got put in time out for playing super hero on the playground and then Joshua made fun of me for being in time out. I told him that I was going to come over to his house and slap him.

Me:  ?

Eli:  Then the teacher sent me to the principal's office. The principal said it was a saty vilations because I was threatening another student.

Me:  Ah yes, I see in the tri-copy official paperwork that you have violated someone's safety.  They consider this a verbal threat.  What are we going to do now? 

Eli:  I am really going to work on my new very dirty looks.  My eyes will say what I am thinking.  Then I will blow their minds.
