pretend place problems

overheard in the playroom:

Peter: "Hi. Welcome to McDonald's. How I can help you?"
Andrew: "No! it's not a McDonald's...it's a TOY store. The 'cafe' is in the other room!"

silly Peter, pretending the wrong place... ;)

I'm so hungry, I could eat...

While perusing online recipe sites, Peter walked over.
"What for dinner, Mom?"

Me, while scrolling through a recipe: "I don't know yet."

As I scroll down the page, an image of a horse appears.
Peter starts laughing, and like it's the most ridiculous idea ever, says: "We can't eat a horse!"

At least he asked permission first...

Peter: "There's a boy on that motorcycle...and a mom, too!"
Me: "Yep."

Peter: "Can I ride a motorcycle when I get big?"
Me: "No, probably not. Because motorcycle's are very dangerous and you could get a big owie."
Andrew: "No, no...he means when he's WAY big and he'll be VERY careful."
Me: "No, probably not still. Even if he's very careful it's still really dangerous."
Andrew: "But that guy's being very careful."
Me: "I know...but I don't want YOU guys to ride a motorcycle because I don't want you to get hurt!"


Oh...and the "boy" driving the motorcycle was a man with salt & pepper hair, probably in his 50s...and the "mom" was either his wife or girlfriend. Apparently, Peter has no concept of age or what is dangerous at this point!

Curious George does not visit the farmer's market

I took the boys to the local farmer's market today.

Peter was sorely disappointed that the Renkins (from Curious George) were not there...so much so, he nearly started crying! I guess he heard "farmers" and just assumed they would be there.

I assuaged his disappointment with a trip to McDonald's...

The baby wants it...

The boys 'caught' me eating a donut AFTER breakfast/snack time.

Andrew: "Can I have one, too?"
Me: "No, you already had one."
Andrew: "Well, why do you get one then?"
Me: "The baby wants it."
Andrew: "Didn't the baby get some earlier?"

Shoot...I've been caught!


And, again...at the store, buying mom's special ice cream (B&J NY SuperFudge Chunk)

Andrew: "What's that for?"
Me: "It's for mom. The baby likes it."
Andrew: "Can I have some too?"
Me: "Nope, it's just mommy's"
Peter: "May you please share some with me?"
Me: "Nope, I don't even share this kind with Pop-pop!"
Andrew: "Why do you just not like to share?!"

Ask a 'silly' question...

Andrew & Peter's new fav summer snack is popsicles.

Andrew: "Hey Peter, what does an orange popsicle taste like?"

Peter: "um...orange"

Reflections

Peter, on seeing his reflection in the TV:

"Mom! Look! There's 2 me's!"
