Just a few gems from the Bumble.
Colin: Mommy, I brought you a muffin so you can share it with me!Me: Aww, thanks bud.
Colin: Mommy, I want to tell you a secret.
Me: Okay.
Colin: (in mock stage whisper) If you see (looks around) a dinosaur, run away.
Me: Sounds like a plan.
Colin: Grandma, do you want a cookie?
Grandma: no thank you.
Colin: How about I have yours!?
Colin: Mommy, your bottom smells like marshmallows!
Me: Oh, um, er…thanks?
My internal voice: that could have been a LOT worse.
Colin (in a terrifically excited! and perturbed! tone): I don’t want that shirt! I. CAN’T. WEAR. STRIPES!!
Me (thinking how much I paid for said shirt and the fact that I took the tags off it): If I let you help me make muffins later will you wear it?
Colin: Of course! I love this shirt!
Me: Colin, you can come out of time out now.
Colin: NO, I’m NOT done calming down AHHHHEEEEEEAAHHHHEEE!!!!! (and proceeds to have another tantrum)
Colin: I an idea!
Me (peeling an orange for a snack): What?
Colin: Let’s have a snack called cookies!
