Parenting Confessional – Part 3

1. On Monday, Wito’s lunch consisted of some Cheerios and string cheese because I wanted to eat HIS beloved leftovers from a Mexican restaurant the night before.

2. I get secretly pissed when he announces that he doesn’t like the song playing in my car. I HAVE STELLAR TASTE IN MUSIC, KID. ONE DAY YOU WILL REALIZE THAT.

3. Wito calls cereal bars (Nutri-Grain bars and such) “handlebars”. I know I am supposed to correct him, but there is nothing cuter than a kid asking for a strawberry handlebar. Carry on, son!

4. If I’m looking like a disheveled mess and/or hobo and need to run errands, I prefer to take Wito so that strangers will assume I look this way from being an overworked parent. Truth is, I probably spent all of my primping time reading Harper’s Bazaar and rearranging my shoe collection.

    I’m pretty sure I subsisted entirely on Cheerios and string cheese all throughout elementary school.

    My son calls granola bars “gorilla bars.” I don’t correct him either.

    I’m always sad when my kids start pronouncing words correctly. I almost died when my two year old started properly calling her stuffed kanga roo “kanga roo.” Before that it was kiddly woo. :(

    My son calls them “canola” bars and we totally don’t correct him, because it’s kind of awesome :)

    I love when kids mispronounce things. So cute! My brother called grapes “beeps” and Raisin Bran “ram ram.” I called pretzels “peetatoos.” We still don’t know where I got that one.

    My 4 year old uses the word “bastard” regularly as a term of endearment towards his brothers. I should really consider trying to put an end to it being that I just signed him up for holy rollin’ Christian preschool in the Fall, but eh, I have all summer right?
