My Little Comedian Is #MotherFunny


NickMom's Kids Say of the Day is GOLD.  Totally reminds me of my own joker.  Duke is always saying something straight up funny or borderline smart-a**y.  It doesn't help that I egg him on by tweeting and facebooking everything he says or does.  When he gets older, he's gonna laugh about all the things I blogged about.  Right?  Here are some of Duke's golden moments and that one time he called me Snooki:

Duke: Wear a costume Dad! Get in the Halloween spirit
Chris: No, cause I'm a G
Duke: You mean gangster or gay?
(My husband totally wore a costume)

We're in a Target parking lot, walking towards the store and Duke sees a white SUV like the Kia we had in FL and says, "There's Whitey!" as two people pass by. Embarrassed, I tell him, you can't say that and he says but our blue Kia was Bluey!  Parenting moment for reals!

And then there was this:  That awkward moment when your child is watching Transformers cartoons and wondering why Optimus Prime keeps calling one of the Autobots "Ratchet". It's a tool Duke, a tool!  Too much rap music, perhaps?

You Are Not Snooki.


Duke: Mom someone is knocking
( I answer the door, it's a box of wine that I have to blog about )
Duke: What is that?
Me: Wine
Duke: What, are you an alcoholic?
Me: What, why?
Duke: When people drink, they turn PSYCHO
Duke: Mom, you have to return it
Me: I have to blog about it
Duke: No. Return it. Daddy is not Pauly D and you are not Snooki
Me: (LAUGHING)
Duke: Serious. If you don't, you will have to leave our home and I'll watch Omie.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm dying over here.


The funny thing is Chris & I rarely drink.  We babysit drinks. 
We have teenagers and Duke catches on so before you judge us remember how much you knew when you were a kid that you didn't find out from your parents.

Blogging is a Family Affair

My 6 year old's blog!Now that I got to share Hubby's recipe, I have high hopes he'll want to guest blog here.  I'm not asking him to commit to blogging once a week... I'll be happy if he does one post each season!

I used to tweet and update my Facebook status with "Things Duke Says" and even started a tumblr for Duke but that didn't work out.  Now with the help of Chris, we started a blog for our 6 year old called - Days With Duke!  He's excited about it and is asking me to take photos for him!  Most of his posts are about his toys.  He's got a great imagination and we're so proud of him.  Comment, share his posts, show your kids!

Conversations with a 6 year old. My 6 year old.

Duke and TacoMe to Chris after coming home from the flea market: You're pooped and we haven't even had sex!
Duke overhears and says: Ew. Are you kidding me?
( I leave it alone but am laughing thinking he's talking about sex - 3 minutes later... )
Duke: You are so disgusting.
Me: What are you talking about?
Duke: You said poop. Something about pooped? 
Me: I meant pooped as in exhausted.
Duke: Oh, I need to go poop.


Well played my dear child, well played.

Duke on Omar.


I started to write a post on Omar and our 6 year old Duke saw it, started to read it and this is what he typed:

HE'S SO SWEET.
He's so cute.
He's so beautiful.
I love Omar.
